MECHANICAL DRILLS FOR RELAXATION

(To be done mentally, with closed eyes)
The following are mechanical drills, mental narcotics, that are effective for relaxation to the point of easing pain.

The trained eye-shift speeds up circulation and clears eyes of debris, floaters and spots, both real and imaginary. When the eye shifts, it sm. The following drills start the shift.

Do these drills with lids closed loosely. Palm if convenient, but if you are in a place left palming would be conspicuous, you can omit it and still benefit from the drills. Do not think of your eyes. Let the physical eye retire you are not trying to see through closed lids. Your mind will do these drills in memory. Point your nose mentally in the direction you are thinking.
