Stillness Practices

Palming Eye Refresh

Visual / Sight-Based

A physical and visual reset that completely seals out all light to give overstimulated optic nerves a chance to rest. This is an exceptional quick-fix for midday computer screen fatigue.

Instructions

  1. Warm up your hands: Rub your palms together quickly for 15 seconds until they feel quite warm from friction. 

  2. Cup your fingers: Shape your warm hands into two soft, shallow cups. 

  3. Cover your eyes: Place your cupped palms directly over your closed eyes, crossing your fingers over your forehead. 

  4. Seal out all light: Adjust your hands so no external light leaks through, ensuring zero pressure is placed on your actual eyeballs. 

  5. Breathe into total darkness: Stare out into the pure black space behind your hands, taking slow deep breaths. 

  6. Lower hands slowly: After 2 minutes, drop your hands down but keep your eyes closed for 10 seconds before blinking open.
