Ocular Segment[1]

“The eyes are probably the most exciting place to work because this is where the sense of aliveness, soul, and being shine through.”
– Jack Rosenberg and Marjorie Rand in Body, Self, and Soul: Sustaining Integration (p. 123)

The Ocular Segment includes two major muscle groups (the Outer Band and the Inner Band), the eyes, ears, nose (three of our senses), and the brain. Working on this segment can produce deep and wide-ranging holistic and integrative benefits.

Major Muscle Groups of the Ocular Segment
The Outer Band

Essentially the top half of the head:

  • Top of the back side of the head (Occipitalis)
  • Sides of the head, above the ears (Temporalis)
  • Forehead (Occipitofrontalis, sometimes referred to as the Frontalis)
  • The Occipitalis in the back of the head and the Occipitofrontalis in the front of the head act as one functional unit. To release the front of the head, start by releasing the back of the head.
