What is palming?

Palming is an exercise to relax the eyes. It is very ancient and probably came to us from yoga. The exercise "palming" should be done every time you feel tension in your eyes, fatigue and emotional discomfort, or when you just had a free moment and you want to devote it to your vision.

At first glance, eye palming is a very simple exercise that requires no effort. However, an unprepared person may have problems when performing it, especially the psychological part of palming.

How to do palming?

First, knead and straighten your fingers so that the palms are flat. Then rub them until a light, pleasant warmth appears, unfold in front of you and fold into a kind of bowl, as if you want to give someone a drink without spilling water. The fingers of one hand should be crossed with the fingers of the other, and the palms should be rounded. Now attach the resulting structure to the upper part of your face, as if you are putting on glasses: the nose should be between the little fingers and breathe freely, and the eyes should be in complete darkness inside the impromptu bowls of the palms.

Keep your eyes open and your shoulders, elbows, fingers and palms relaxed during the exercise. The same applies to the whole body: take a comfortable position - lie down, sit on a chair or chair, or sit on the floor with your legs crossed under you. You can rest your elbows on your knees or on the countertop, having previously placed a sofa cushion to make it softer and more comfortable.

The essence of the palming eye exercise is as follows: if you are sitting, bend forward slightly from the starting position, while keeping your back, neck and head on one, perfectly straight line, but without straining your muscles. Look in front of you, not peering into the oppressive darkness, but looking into the distance, as it were. Think about something distracted and enjoyable: make plans for the future, indulge in good memories, try to come in harmony with your own body, let go of tiredness and anxiety, and tune in to productive work. At first, there may be a gray veil or glare of light before the eyes, then gradually complete blackness will come.

To understand if you are doing palming for the eyes correctly, you need to make sure that your whole body is completely relaxed, but is strictly in a given position, as if a rod is inserted into you from the very top of your head to the tailbone, while your shoulders are straightened, your lungs are free filled with air. The correctness of the position of the palms on the face is checked as follows: blink several times - if the eyes open and close easily, and the eyelashes do not touch the skin of the hands, then you are holding them correctly.

At the end of the exercise, make several movements of the eyeballs up and down and from side to side. Imagine a completely black canvas in front of you. Try writing a word on it in glowing green ink, or tracing a geometric shape. Close your eyes tightly, and then completely relax your eyes, but do not open them. Remove your palms from your face, wait a few seconds, and then gradually open your eyelashes and look into the distance, so as not to injure the visual apparatus with a sharp transition from complete darkness to light.

Duration of exercise

This simple eye relaxation exercise is initially sufficient for 15-30 seconds, then you can double this time. The more often you practice palming and the longer you rest your eyes, the better the effect will be.

Over time, this practice will become a habit for you, since you will be surprised to find that palming really does an excellent job of relieving eye fatigue during prolonged work at the computer, reading, handicrafts and other activities that require constant eye strain.

Exercise "palming" for the eyes is otherwise called biophoresis, because during this procedure we influence the visual apparatus with the heat and biological energy of our own hands. For biophoresis for the eyes to bring the maximum positive effect, it is very important to warm up the palms before performing the exercise. You can also enhance the effectiveness with the help of this technique: go to the window and look at the sun, and then close your eyes and start palming - so you first "ban" sunlight, and then, as it were, "absorb" it into yourself.

The benefits of regular exercise "palming" or "biophoresis for the eyes" are confirmed by numerous medical studies - it has been proven that in such a simple way it is possible to slow down the natural aging of the visual apparatus and prevent the development of many pathologies: myopia, strabismus, astigmatism, retinal detachment, optic nerve atrophy, cataracts, glaucoma. If you already have vision problems, palming your eyes can help prevent them from worsening or help you rehabilitate successfully after surgery.
