Maintain the same position as in exercise 4.

Place both fists on the knees with both thumbs pointing upward.

Keeping the arms straight, slowly raise the left thumb while following the motion of the thumb with the eyes.

Once the thumb is raised to the maximum, slowly return to the starting position, all the time keeping the eyes focused on the thumb without moving the head.

Practise the same movement with the right thumb.

Repeat 10 times with each thumb.

Keep the head and spine straight throughout.

Finally, close and rest the eyes.

Palming may be performed several times.
