With one hand, lightly touch the tip of the thumb to the area above the inner corner of your eye. With the fourth finger (ring finger) of the same hand, lightly touch the tip of the finger to the same area on the inner corner of the other eye.Place the tip of the middle finger at the point midway between the eyebrows.
Now place your other hand on the back of your head, with the palm touching the head so that the thumb is resting at the base of the skull just above the hairline.The palm cradles the base of your skull. Both hands should be resting gently. No pressure is necessary. That is the TAT Pose.
For children age 11 and under, an open hand is used in front, the palm placed over the forehead covering the top half of the eyes. They may hold the pose themselves, or you may hold it for them. For babies, very sick people or anyone who feels uncomfortable with touch, the Pose is done by holding the hands in the same position as for children, only the hands are an inch or two away from the person's head. |
