This is a wonderful relaxation technique for the eyes. One usually feels much better after each palming session. The duration is up to you. It can be as short as 10 seconds up to a few hours but try to make it about 30 minutes: That's when the benefits can really be seen!
Palming
This is when you cover your eyes with your palms. A few things to take note:
- Do not rest on the eyeballs directly. Only put pressure around the eye socket.
- Please make sure that your hands are clean. Introducing germs and bacteria to your eyes does not help matters much.
Gently cover your eyes so that you can see no light. In the darkness, you may see brief flashes of light. This is normal, and simply indicates the spontaneous firing of the neurones in your eyes. But if the light flashes are too intense, they may indicate that you are too tense. Loosen up a bit! Nobody’s watching you.
