Quick Tension Release

Stress and intense concentration often manifest as physical tension in the brow, jaw, and neck, which directly affects eye comfort. This routine focuses on gentle movements to release this "armoring" and bring a sense of ease back to your face and eyes.

1. Slow Blinking

Start by signaling your nervous system to relax with slow, deliberate blinks.

Instructions:

1. Close your eyes gently.
2. Feel the tension drain from your eyelids.
3. Open slowly.

2. Head and Eyes Simultaneous Tilting

Release tension in the neck, which is often the root cause of tension headaches and eye strain.

Instructions:

1. Gently tilt your head to the side.
2. Let your eyes follow the movement naturally.
3. Feel a gentle stretch in the side of your neck.

3. Dynamic Blinking

A brief period of faster blinking helps to loosen up the facial muscles and increase blood flow.

Instructions:

1. Flutter your eyelids lightly.
2. Keep your face relaxed; don't frown or squint.

4. Downward Face Circle with Closed Eyes

This final movement is deeply soothing. It combines the relaxation of closed eyes with a gentle massage-like movement for the eye muscles.

Instructions:

1. Close your eyes and tilt your head slightly down.
2. Slowly roll your eyes in a circle.
3. Visualize smoothing out any tension behind your eyes.
4. Reverse direction gently.
