gathering in some relaxation now roll the   other direction just nice circular motions keep 
the rest of your face relaxed let it go let it   kind of exhale and have a nice countenance on 
it of happiness and relaxation and bye-bye tech   okay we're going to go below the eye above the 
orbital ridge but right there actually maybe even   right on the bone below the eyeball and just move 
back and forth just like this just back and forth   a little tenderness if you find tenderness that's 
something to go after it's something like oh yeah   that's the one i need to go after that and just 
rub it circular motions both directions don't   be afraid to go around your eyeball into your 
extra ocular muscles there's nothing wrong with   working that area if something doesn't feel right 
though just stop it's super simple okay we're   gonna roll our eyes in a circle find that full 
range of motion and let's start going clockwise full circles find an area that you go oh that 
needs a little more pressure up there sometimes   some of those ranges of motion you won't have as 
much access to let's give them access let's give   your eyes access really arcing up and over up and 
over good here we go let's go the other direction   all the way around keep going around that's it 
keep going big huge circles we do controlled   articular rotations with the neck hey why not 
doing with the eyes keep your head totally still   though and keep circling let's do a couple more go 
nice and slow no need to rush good okay let's pump   give me some heat with those hands come on get 
it going get those hands moving and go right   on over your eyeballs good let's give a break 
from light bathe your eyes in some darkness right   sometimes even when you go to sleep you want to 
make sure any little led light any little plug is   just turned out no light when you go to sleep good 
let's go ahead and we're going to go up to your   hairline and we're going to get it right in the 
center right about an inch back and we're going to   rub a point there it's another acupuncture point

good isn't it amazing how you have this remote   control spots in your body that control other 
parts and help things function i mean reflexology   on your head on your feet i mean who knows where 
the next map will show up even the ear correlates   to different parts of the body good just rub 
that in there get your other hand in there just   to participate let that let that forehead 
relax so you can just get in deep good   and move the skin around on your head 
move it over your skull move it move it   i like to move it here we go okay now i'm going 
to use my right thumb you're going to use your   left thumb and get out there and just stare at 
that thumb right right at the full distance of   your hand good and look and see the wrinkles on 
your knuckle and then bring your finger in bring   your thumb in close all the way keep pulling 
it in pulling it in right in between your eyes   and really focus in on it feel it feel that 
muscle just contract and then bring it back   good bring that thumb away from you make sure 
you're focusing and bring it closer to you just   keep going this is tromboning we're playing the 
trombone keep a good posture though keep breathing   in and out of your nose let the shoulders relax 
and let those eyes do the work on this pull it in   focus focus really get that focus in and bringing 
it back good bringing it back all the way [Music]   and all the way out good all the way towards it 
really focus in see just the little wrinkles on   your thumb pull it in good feel that flex 
and bring it back let's do a couple more bring it back flex your inflection that's 
what happens you stare at a screen all day   and that muscle doesn't get a chance to 
move the cellular body with its muscles   need to be exercised just like any other 
muscle okay let's do a little palming again you think about in nature you walk in the woods 
you're kind of you're using your visual cortex   you're using that muscle looking at trees and boom 
back into the path and then up at the sky and good   just rub that and clot and just move in circles 
with your palms good moving the other direction good we're going to go to another point shake your 
arms out a little bit let's see those thumbs we're   going to go right up underneath your orbital ridge 
right there and pushing up like this good pushing   in and up good this is called drilling bamboo now 
while we're doing this relax the shoulders the   chest rises up good don't let that chest come 
forward good and then we're gonna do rainbow   eye rolls so it's just up and around like a 
rainbow the eyes come up and to the side up   into the side keep going as you push here 
oh i love it exercise we're doing aerobics   for the eyes good it's something we have 
to do to make up for all this screen time   there we go let's do five there you go four   three two and one good let's do a little stretch 
a little 45 degree stretch take your left hand   grab your head and pull it 45 degrees good so 
this is if you tuck your chin you're going to   work that suboccipital a little bit right where 
your neck meets your head that's you know you   in in the occipital muscle right there you do 
a little visual image processing and we want   to keep that open flowing and doing fantastic so 
go ahead and just tuck and pull it's the tuck and   pull good let's go the other side grab your 
right hand pull it 45 degrees and just pull   and breathe right into that breathe into

fingers and just rub on that area   just rub right on that suboccipital 99 of 
you have a little soreness back there work it good just side to side [Music] and go up a little 
bit higher into the occipital bone into your hair   and just work right up in there and let's do a couple occipital lifts it's my 
favorite exercise take the knuckle right here   at the base of your thumb right to your mastoid 
process behind your ear and just hook right under   that shelf and hook with the other side and 
i want you to laterally flex your head as you   push your head up with the one hand and then 
the lower hand is pulling down and let's keep   going so you're pushing and pulling creating a 
little torque in there and lifting actually the   temporal bone which connected to the occipital 
bone we'll head to the occipitals in a second   just keep going back and forth you might find one 
area is a little bit tighter than the other and   just push that a little bit more my left side 
feels like it needs a little more attention okay now more of a 45 degree angle and bring the 
hand a little bit further back on the occipitals   and lift lift lift there you go good enjoy this 
one you might just find that occipital and ocular   soreness that ocular headache just starts to 
melt with this okay come up we're gonna do some   sideline side side long glances but what we're 
gonna do is we're gonna go extremely to one side   focus in on an object and then we're gonna go back 
to the to the other direction and focusing on the   object i'm going to start to the left you start 
to the right so keep your head totally straight   and look as far as you can to the left and 
focus on something and then back over to the right and then to the left good really push into that end range motion it's like a pilates class for the eyes i lotties push it there you go push it go for it get that 
eye moving good palms are facing forward   chest is a posture is good keep working it   hard really hard if you have take a couple of 
seconds in that extreme range of motion turning   your head a little i mean not turning 
your head turn your eyes left and right good now i want you to take your your 
pointer fingers put on the side of your head   and then you're going to take your pinkies 
and you're going to go right in between   your eye and your super orbital ridge just push 
them right in there good if this doesn't feel   right if you feel whatever in any way just 
stop so you might see a little like light   flashing you might see a little redness

some deep breaths in through your nostrils   and let's see if we can get this to go you know
