The Palming eye exercise is essential to improving eyesight,  as it rests and relaxes the eyes. It achieves this through allowing the optic nerve to completely rest from any external light or activity.  The palms gently touching your eye orbits also bring healing attention and energy to the eyes.

Palming Eye Exercise Step-By-Step
Eye exercise 1 – Palming at a Table:
1) Remove any corrective lenses i.e glasses and contact lenses.
2) Palming is still beneficial even outdoors, but for best results find a comfortable room that can be darkened as much as possible.
3) If more darkness is needed, put blankets over the blinds or curtains.
4) Sit at a table or desk and place pillows under your elbows so that your upper arms are stretched almost straight out, perpendicular to your chest.
5) Rub your hands together to generate some warmth and energy.
6) Keeping your back and neck as straight as possible, loosely cup your hands and place your palms over your eye orbits. The heels of your palms should rest softly on your cheekbones and your fingers on your forehead. For good blood circulation and to avoid strain, it is important that your hands are resting on your face with the lightest possible touch.
7) Breathe slowly and deeply using your diaphragm to expand and shrink your abdomen.
Very short palming sessions are still useful, but as a guide, the minimum amount of time should be 10 minutes.
