Sunning

Closed eyes turned toward gentle sunlight

Relaxation care

How to

With your eyes closed, face a source of gentle natural light — early or late sun, or a bright window, never the sun directly or at midday. Slowly turn your head side to side for a minute, letting the light and warmth pass across your closed eyelids.

Benefits

  • A traditional practice for easing light sensitivity over time
  • The gentle warmth is relaxing in the same way palming is, from a different source
  • A pleasant reason to step outside during a work break

Practice

1-2 minutes, always with eyes closed and never facing the sun directly.
