Acupressure Eye healing

Acupressure has been around for thousands of years introduced by the Chinese.
How to do Eye Acupressure: Exert heavy finger pressure upon each of the points surrounding the eyes for 10 seconds. Next, rub each point for 5 seconds. Any pain denotes eye weakness. Healthy eyes have no pain, even under heavy finger pressure. If your eyes are very weak, spend more time on eye massage. Next with the pads of the first 3 finger tips, press lightly upon closed eye lids for 30 seconds - this helps nearsighted. Finish with the Eye Palming: Rub hands together until warm and place cupped palms over both eyes for 30 seconds. Visualize dark black. Feel your mind & eyes relaxing. Perform Eye palming daily; it is restful and healing for the eyes, mind and entire body.

Naturopathic Eye firming

Step l. Place the palm of each hand on the bony ridge above each eye. Press hard on the brow and move the skin up-and-down, side-to-side and in small circles. Perform twelve times with each area.
Step 2: Place your open palms on each side of your temples. Move the skin up and down, forward and back and in a circular motion a dozen times each.
Step 3: Place your fingers on each cheekbone under the eyes, while moving the skin up and down, right and left, a dozen or more times each. "If you faithfully carry these instructions out it will prove of great importance in restoring your vision." Edmund Shaftsbury

Do-In Eye Massage

Zen masters practice a form of self healing massage called Do-In (Doe-Inn). Do-In is a chi-energy technique, which combines with Chi Kung breathing movements to revive and regenerate the body, mind, emotions and spirit, harmonizing all levels of being with the rhythm of life. Do-In, practiced daily helps one to maintain balance and harmony in life. It helps keep one centered, grounded and focused in life.

Chinese Scalp Rubbing for Eye relief - Sit straight and relax mind and body. Simply rub your scalp with fingers slowly from front to back, and in small circles for 30 to 60 seconds. This helps to clear the heart of toxins, relax the brain, calm nerves, invigorate the scalp and improve eyesight by bringing blood circulation to the head and eye region. Scalp massage reduces tension and stress. Even better, exchange scalp massage with your partner or friend. It's even more relaxing and soothing when someone else does it for you.

Palm Eye firming - Close eyes slightly and 'knead' closed eye-lids over eyeballs with the inside of your palms. Circle palms 16 times clockwise and 16 times counterclockwise. Next, place palms on the eyes and move up and down 16 times, and side to side 16 times. This is from my experience, the best eye massage for all conditions: Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism. It also helps to prevent eye diseases of the middle-aged and elderly.

Stroking Eyebrows Technique - Place thumbs on temple and stroke eyebrows with second knuckle of each forefinger, over eyebrows. Rub 16 times. Close eyes and use light and even pressure. This helps to clear the eyes, regulate nerve function, prevents hardening of cerebral arteries, and degenerative eye diseases.

Ironing the Face Technique - Scrub the face with open palms from the forehead, down to the chin, and up to the ears in a circular motion for 16 times. The Chinese Taoists' call this "Ironing the Face." It helps to remove wrinkles, brings fresh blood to the eyes and improves ones' complexion.
