The base of your right pinkie will be on the base of your left pinkie. If it is more comfortable, place your left palm on top of the right palm, making an upside down letter “V” with your palms.
Make sure you are able to breathe through your nose, otherwise, adjust the location of your palms and fingers.
If you see light, correct the placement of your palms until you get perfect coverage that does not allow any light to your eyes.
Do not concentrate on the eyes or area behind them. Focus just on your breathing (it helps to fully relax). Concentrate on how you inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale…
Imagine an image that is relaxing for you. Try a black starry night. Concentrate on the warmth coming from your palms but do not press on your eyes with your hands. Sit or stand in a position so that your spinal cord is in a straight line. This will enable your body to physically relax.
Hold your arm straight out in front of your face. Switch between focusing on your thumbnail and the tip of your own nose. This will exercise your eye muscles. You can also add a third point out on the horizon. Do this several times before resting by palming for 5 minutes.
Stand or sit straight in a comfortable position. Blink slowly 10-15 times per minute for a couple minutes. Concentrate on relaxing your eye muscles as you do this.
Use your pointer fingers to massage the bridge of your nose next to the corners of your eyes. Massage the upper part of your eye sockets underneath and above your eyebrows. Slowly massage outwards until you reach your temples. Work your way back along your cheekbones until you reach your nose.
