Now move to the outer corner of the eyes and apply light pressure for another 45 seconds. Bring the thumbs to the underside of the cheek bones directly below the eyes and apply light pressure again for 45 seconds.

Step 5 - Bring the hands to each temple and using the pads of the first two fingers, begin to massage in a oval circular motion. Continue this process slowly for two to three minutes. Now with the fingers still on the temples move each thumb to the jaw bone just below the cheek bone and apply light pressure for 30 seconds. Then slowly slide your thumbs down to your lower jaw bone causing a slight stretch.

Step 6 - Using the thumb and the forefinger of one hand, lightly pinch the skin between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. These are pressure points. Hold this position for about 90 seconds and then do the same thing to the other hand. Next gently massage the tips of each finger on each hand, do this for about 30 seconds on each finger.
