The Eye Roll is a face-yoga exercise aimed at targeting and strengthening the muscles around the eyes. This exercise can improve eye muscle flexibility and coordination, potentially reducing eye strain and enhancing overall eye health.

 

Target Face Muscles

Orbicularis Oculi: This circular muscle around the eye helps close the eyelids.

Superior Rectus and Inferior Rectus: These muscles move the eyeball up and down.

Lateral Rectus and Medial Rectus: These muscles control the side-to-side movement of the eyeball.

 

How to Practice the Eye Roll

Starting Position: Sit or stand comfortably with a relaxed posture. Keep your head still and face forward.

The Movement:

  • Look up towards the ceiling, engaging the superior rectus.
  • Slowly roll your eyes clockwise, utilizing the lateral, inferior, and medial rectus in sequence.
  • Return to looking straight ahead.
  • Repeat the eye roll in a counterclockwise direction.

Duration and Frequency: Perform this clockwise and counterclockwise eye roll five times each. You can do this exercise once or twice a day.

Benefits

Strengthened Eye Muscles: Regular practice can lead to stronger muscles around the eyes, improving eye movement.

Reduced Eye Strain: This can help relieve tension and tiredness in the eye muscles, which is especially beneficial for those who spend long hours in front of screens.

Improved Coordination: Enhances the coordination of the eye muscles, aiding in better eye movement control.

Promotes Relaxation: The act of rolling the eyes can have a relaxing effect on the eye muscles, reducing overall stress levels.

For The Eye Roll, targeting the Orbicularis Oculi, Superior and Inferior Rectus, and Lateral and Medial Rectus muscles, the blend will focus on refreshing and rejuvenating the eye area while promoting circulation to reduce tension. The diffusion blend will encourage mental clarity and calm focus, supporting the smooth, controlled motion of the exercise.

Blend Purpose:

  • Topical: Refreshes and soothes the eye area, promotes elasticity, and enhances circulation for relaxation.
  • Diffusion: Sharpens mental clarity while calming the mind, aligning with the smooth, mindful motion of the eye roll.

Topical Blend (Refreshing & Rejuvenating)

  • 2 drops Cucumber Seed Oil (optional carrier oil; deeply hydrating for the delicate skin around the eyes).
  • 1 drop Helichrysum Essential Oil (reduces puffiness and supports circulation).
  • 1 drop Chamomile Essential Oil (calms and soothes tired muscles).
  • 1 drop Rosemary Essential Oil (stimulates circulation to refresh the area).

Instructions:
Dilute in 1 tsp of cucumber seed oil (or another carrier oil like rosehip or jojoba). Lightly dab the blend around the orbital bone (avoiding the eyelids) using your ring finger before or after the exercise to refresh and soothe.

Diffusion Blend (Focus & Clarity)

  • 3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (invigorates and refreshes).
  • 2 drops Rosemary Essential Oil (enhances mental clarity and sharpness).
  • 1 drop Lemon Essential Oil (uplifts and clears the mind).

Instructions:
Diffuse this blend during the exercise to encourage a focused, refreshing environment. The aroma supports mindful, precise eye movement and creates a sense of mental rejuvenation.
