Exercising the Paula Method

In order to practice the "Paula Method" exercises one should start every session from putting his hands on his eyes. It's better to cover the eyes while the fingers stay on the forehead and the hands let the eyes a space. So the eyelids can move if they feel like it. In this position it's easier to pay attention to the body position and balance. It's also suggested to do that in between the exercises. While doing so the body might continue part of the former movement.
The first exercise I recommend to try is contracting the eyes softly and monotony. The other parts of your body might want to join this movement and you let this happen. In the same way when later one starts contracting the lips the eyes might join the lips. This is a good reaction and it's better to let it happen. Pay attention to the way the eyes change the way they move, once you feel tired you better put your hands on your eyes and follow the body reactions. If the body continues the same exercise let it happen. One needs to learn to differ between contracting through the body to contracting through the mind. As long as the body is doing the contracting because of the hands position it's better to stay with the hand on the eyes. Most chances this would stop once you take of the hands; it's possible to try it and if so to put the hands on again.
The second exercise is moving the lips out like you do in kisses and release. There is no need to hold the lips in any position. But the out and in direction are two different exercises. It's important to center the movement and keep it pleasant. Contracting the lips in feels like drinking by a straw. Sometimes the reaction to this exercise is felt down below the belly around the front sphincter and if so there is some point in keeping the contracting as long as possible just to feel the reaction or to notice its changes. It's also important while the lips go in to follow the changes of the tongue. The lips may be tight one to the other or lose with an interval between them.
