In Taoism, we regard the eyes as the doorways to the soul as well as the opening of the liver. (Fig. 4.16)

When rubbing near the corners of the eyes, do not rub too hard, because you can make the corners of the eyes drop down. Con­tinue rubbing the corners of the eyes upward.

Bring Chi Energy to the Hands and Eyes.

Repeat the procedure for bringing energy to the hands by inhaling; holding the breath; and contracting the sexual organ, buttocks and middle of the anus and both the left and right sides of the anus. Direct the Chi to both eyes. Rub the hands, clench the teeth, place the tongue on the roof of your mouth. Direct the energy to the face and then the hands. When your hands are hot, focus on your eyes until you feel them filled with energy.
