Clap your hands together and rub the palms together creating more heat, then placing cupped hands over the eyes until you feel the palms loose some of the heat and the eyes absorb this.

5- Work your way down your legs, towards your feet, repeating the pattern like the arms. Spend time on the feet, going out each toe, front and back.

**Any areas you note being more sensitive, spend a few more breaths there.

**Importantly, deep breathing as you do this and if you feel the need to recharge the hands by rubbing, feel free to do so.

** If you are feeling extra heavy and lethargic, it is recommended that you begin from your feet and work your way up to your head, ending with the cupped palms over the eyes.
