At the end of our practice, we go through a series of steps that we call The Closing Sequence. This sequence brings three main benefits. First, it helps us to transition from a deep meditative state back to our everyday reality. Second, it stimulates acupuncture points around the eyes, keeping the them healthy. And third, it brings energy to the face, helping us to look younger.
You should do The Closing Sequence at the end of every 15-Minute Routine. You can also do it on its own. For example, if you’re sitting at your desk at work, and you’re losing focus, go through The Closing Sequence. It only takes a minute, and you’ll feel much fresher afterward.
Here is a video review of the complete sequence. You’ll also find all of the steps listed below.
