Palming

Today we are going to talk about palming. Palming is a relaxation technique for the eyes. it can be used in between other techniques throughout the day. What it does, is that it allows you to relax your mind and also your eyes because all you focus on is just darkness. It also helps to increase your visualization skills.{{more}}

This is how palming is done.

1. Close your eyes and cover them with cupped palms. The palms should not touch the eyelids and your fingers should sort of overlap near the hairline; make sure you have enough room to breathe easily; and rest your elbows on a table. What you should now see is just darkness or blackness. If however, you see flashes of light, just let them go, they will disappear on their own and allow the darkness to return. Continue focusing on the darkness for a while or if you choose you can visualize a relaxing scene of your own.

2. Take a deep breath and feel the muscles around your eyes start to relax. Breathe deeply and slowly in and out eight times. This technique is a cross between increasing your visualization skills and breathing techniques. Do this technique at least eight times a day especially before you start an intense task at near such as computer work or reading.
