Relax the Eyes Text
Step 1: Take a deep breath and release.
Step 2: While looking ahead with a relaxed focus, engage your peripheral vision to the sides, the top and bottom.
Step 3: While holding this gaze allow yourself to notice ONLY the things that are moving.
Variation: As a variation, let your vision ‘snap’ into noticing the things that are moving and then return to the wide angle vision.
Stay with this exercise as long as you like but try and maintain for at least 2 minutes.
How will it make you feel?
Users will experience a sense of expansion, relaxation, and increased awareness. You may also notice certain physiological changes – perhaps a shift in your breathing from higher to lower in the chest, a relaxation of face and jaw muscles, and maybe later your hands became warm. This exercise is known to create changes in your body and brain functioning that help you reduce stress, increase nature connection experiences and triggers feeling of awe, wonder and soft fascination.
