Our bodies are so smart and can help us in so many ways if we know how to listen to them and work with them instead of numbing them or ignoring them.
Eye Shifting is a form of fascia stretching.
Fascia is a thin, tough layer of connective tissue that wraps around and supports every muscle, bone, organ, nerve, and blood vessel in your body.
Just like other tissue in your body, fascia gets stiff and tense. Stretching it releases that tension and aids your body in releasing the stress it has been holding each day.
Take 2 minutes today and try it. Let yourself experience the deep relaxation that occurs when even your fascia gets to release and relax.
If you notice your body does not release and yawn as it should don't worry. You're not doing anything wrong. This means that for some reason your body is holding more tension and does not know how to or does not feel safe to let it go and relax.
Keep practicing and in time your body will reward you by learning that its okay to fully release and relax.
If you find yourself struggling with this it maybe a good time to reach out to a somatic practitioner for some support.
