  • Sequence of movement

    Use your thumb and index fingers to draw two ellipses horizontally on both shoulder blades. These ellipses are slightly pointed on the right and left and are intended to represent the eyes. Below these drawn eyes, you now move the fingertips of all fingers horizontally back and forth, tapping lightly with the fingertips on your back. This movement represents the water drops/tears in the eyes.
