Work above and below the brows and finally use long strokes on the forehead.
Notice how your face feels and your eyes feel when you’re done. Wonderful!
Now for the neck.
Turn your head to one side. Feel along from behind the ear down to your chest,
and you’ll find the side neck flexor or sternocleidomastoid. This muscle can
become tighter than any other muscle in the body. It gets so tense that some
people mistake it for a bone!
Gently at first till it warms up, palpate, tap and stroke it. Do each side. Then
massage the back of the neck working out from the spine. The top of the spine at
the very base of the skull is often quite tight.
Finally finish by doing head rotations. Start with small rotations, in each direction.
Do a dozen circles, gradually expanding to your full range of motion. Always do
rotations slowly and deliberately.
Doing this face and neck massage on yourself before you go to bed, will help you
sleep better and you’ll wake up feeling far more refreshed.
Stretching the eye muscles
Close both eyes tightly, squeeze them closed and open them suddenly, arching
your brows and stretching your face. Repeat several times.
Look up as far as possible, look down as far as possible, inhale on up, and exhale
on down. Blink rapidly a dozen or so times. Look as far right as possible, look as
far left as possible and blink rapidly again. Look diagonally up to left, down to right,
up to right, down to left, and blink rapidly. Rotate your eyes in circles, clockwise
and anticlockwise. Try with your eyes open and shut.
