THE PASSES FOR THE FACE
Ontario, CA 8/98

These can be performed using either the teflon balls or the
thumb, index and middle fingers.

1.  Apply gentle pressure with either the balls or both sets of
    fingers on the chin under the lips.  Massage slowly in small 
    circles outward along the line of the jaw, until you reach the 
    muscles which work the jawbone.  The mouth can be opened 
    slightly or closed, as feels most effective.

2.  Place the thumb or ball under the left cheekbone, and the index 
    and middle fingers on the outside of the temples.  Bend at the 
    knees and stoop to place the left elbow on the thigh just above 
    the knee, and let the weight of the body rest there.  Hold, and 
    release the hand before straightening.  Mirror.

3.  This is a modified "Two Prongs on the Face"--place either the 
    balls or thumbs under the jawbones, and the index and middle
    fingers beside the eyesockets.  Bend to rest both elbows on
    the knees, letting the weight of the body rest there.  Hold,
    then release the hands before straightening.

4.  The hands are crossed at the wrists.  The thumb knuckles exert
    GENTLE pressure on the inner edge of the eyesockets by the
    nose, with the thumbnails resting on the irises of the closed
    eyes.  Hold, then release.

5.  These are the temple, brow, and crown of the head passes
    shown and discussed in "Magical Passes".

6.  Rub the hands vigorously to generate heat, and place the palms 
    flat on the face, fingers pointing up.  Smooth to the sides as 
    if removing a mask; release and shake the hands to discard the 
    "mask".
