It said certain aspects of the eye are directly related to the physical body. Just like in reflexology, where they press our toes and neck pain releases, symptoms like myopia, cateracts and glaucoma are directly related to parts of the physical body such a back pain.
We can improve our own eyesight naturally, through an approach that begins with the brain.
People can have eye surgery to see clearly but the symptoms held with the brain aren't addressed.
Here is the technique that Allison Fahey, the Dorrigo based Yoga and Pilates teacher, learnt at the Yoga School of Perfect Eyesight in Pondicherry, India:
"The first thing to do is to blink regularly, to lubricate the eyes".
"We like to use our full range of movement in our joints; the eye muscles are the same".
"First look up and down, slowly.
Then look left and right.
It's quite hard as the muscles will be tight in certain areas"
"Other steps include standing in the early morning sun and swaying side to side with closed eyes and gently covering them with the palm and concentrating on seeing black"
"When you have good eyesight, you should see black only; if you see other colours, simply visualise black"
"It should be a pleasant experience".
Other suggestions include:
- Eyes tire when looking up close for long periods. When reading or using a computer, look into the distance for a couple of minutes every hour.
- Soothe tired eyes with a cool moist face cloth for 10 minutes.
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend."
