EYE CULTURE
The following exercises will assist you to improve the quality of your eyesight. Apply these simple exercises for a period of 90 days and SEE the results. Be sure to remove your eye-glasses during the exercises.
The following 3 exercises should be carried out in the morning.
1. Eye sunbath
• Sit in a comfortable chair facing the morning sun - depending on your latitude – at least 2 hours before the mid-day sun.
• Look at the sun momentarily in order to get the right orientation.
• Close your eyes gently at once.
(It is dangerous to look at the sun – we are only trying to ‘feel’ the warmth of the sun’s rays directly on our eyes once they are closed - this can be done quite easily by adjusting the head until the eyes ‘feel’ the sun’s rays.)
• Sit with your eyes closed for from 5 to 15 minutes.
2. Eye water bath
• Immediately after the sunbath, fill an eggcup (not an eyebath) with cool/pure water.
• Put your left hand, palm-down, on a table.
• Bend your body forward so the face will be parallel with the floor.
• Apply the eggcup gently to the right eye with the right hand.
• Blink the eyelids 50 times into the water.
• Discard the water and refill the eggcup.
• Place the right hand, palm down, on the table.
• Apply the eggcup to the left eye using the left hand.
• Blink your eyelids 50 times into the water.
• Dry the eyes by pressing a folded handkerchief to the eyes. DO NOT RUB.
3. Palming exercise
• Immediately after the water bath, sit at a table with your body against the table and your elbows on the tabletop.
• Cup the left hand and place it diagonally over your left eye with the edges of your hand on your left cheek and the fingers crossing over the bridge of the nose.
• Now cup the right hand and place it over the right eye with the edges on the right cheek and the fingers crossing over the left fingers.
• Move your fingers so all light spots will be excluded.
• When you can see perfect blackness, let your eyes close gently.
• Stay in this position for from 10 minutes to half an hour.
The four exercises that follow may be done at any time of the day.
1. Clock-dial exercise
• Sit in a comfortable chair that is placed against a wall in a large room.
• Imagine there is a clock dial painted on the far wall.
- 12 will he near the ceiling,
- 6 will be near the floor.
- 9 will be near the left-hand junction of the walls and
- 3 will be near the right hand junction of the walls.
• Without moving the head, look at 1, then 2, then 3 and so on until you come to 12.
• Repeat this several times then close the eyes for a few seconds.
• Then look at 12, then 11, then 10 and so on until you arrive back at 12 again.
• Repeat this several times and close the eyes for a few seconds.
• Now, look at 12, then at 6, then at 9, then at 3., then 7, then 1 and so on until you have looked at all of the numbers.
• Repeat several times and close the eyes for a few seconds.
2. Accommodation exercise
• Sit out of doors.
• Look at a distant object such as a house or electric light pole about one hundred yards away for one second.
• Now, look at the tip of your nose for one second.
• Look at the distant object again and then at your nose.
• Repeat several times and then close your eyes for a few seconds.
• Repeat.
3. Blinking exercise
• Sit in a comfortable chair holding a newspaper, magazine or book about 20 inches from your eyes.
• Commence reading by looking at the letter at the top left-hand corner, reading each letter across to the right until you arrive at the bottom right hand corner of the page.
• Each time you look at a letter you blink your eyes, pass on to the next letter and blink again.
• When you have completed reading the whole page, close your eyes for a few seconds.
4. Neck exercises
• Sit in a straight back chair with your legs twisted around the leg of the chair.
• Rotate the head slowly to the right 20 times.
• Rotate the head slowly to the left, 20 times.
• Rotate the head a little more vigorously to the right 20 times.
• Rotate the head a little more vigorously to the left 20 times.
• If this makes you dizzy you may overcome the dizziness by throwing your head backwards breathing deeply in and throwing the head forwards, breathing out. Repeat 3 times.
• Add 5 rotations each day until you can do 50 rotations each way daily.
Note:
- The neck exercises are to be done gently – do not push yourself further than you are able.
- The aim of the neck exercise is to increase mobility and improve circulation and nerve force to the head area – including the eyes.
- Pay particular attention to your breathing while rotating the head Note: Do not hold your breath – relax and breathe rhythmically and diaphragmatically during all movements.
