Palming is applying firm yet gentle pressure over your closed eyelids. It gives your tired eyes a much-needed break from constant stimuli. It helps transition your entire body into a more relaxed state which in turn helps reduce stress. Try it for yourself!

Palming is a practice from 101 Mindfulness Practices to Ease Anxiety by Ashton August. Find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold!
