Secrets of Yoga Sun Gazing eye correction
The ancient Yogis use "Yoga Sun Gazing" as a meditation and to infuse the body, mind and spirit with healing solar light and power.
How to do: Go outside at SUNRISE or SUNSET when the solar orb is red or orange. Open your eyes wide and take in 9 deep breaths (in and out gently) while looking at the sun. Feel the "sun energy' traveling into your eyes and down to your belly button area (Hara). After sun gazing, gently cover your eyes with your palms, for a few minutes while visualizing color black. This helps to relax and heal stress and tension in the mind and eyes.
Two exceptional foods for the eyes are sunflower seeds and parsley. They contain Vitamin B-2, which helps to overcome light sensitivity. If you avoid the sun completely, you'll become over-sensitive to even 10 minutes of it.
Yogic Eye Accommodative Exercise for eye training
Eye Exercise � Part I (Improve Close & Distant Vision):
The ancient Indian Hindu Yogi's devised many techniques, for improving the eyesight. This marvelous eye exercise helps the eyes to improve their ability to change focus and see clearly in the distance and at the close-point.
Modern science tells us that the "accommodative eye muscles" weaken with age. However, this is not true, if you continue to use the accommodative focusing eye muscles regularly; your eyesight will remain clear and strong throughout life. If you have lost this "accommodative eye focusing ability." this eye exercise can bring back your natural eye accommodation for distance and close-point seeing: This exercise mainly helps farsightedness or old age sight, the ability to focus at the close-point clearly. Practice this exercise outside in good light or inside in a well lighted room, while looking out the window.
One: Pick out a distant object, about twenty feet or more away (tree, car. building etc. This is your distant vision object.
Two: In your hand, hold a 2 x 3 card with black letters, large enough for you to see clearly.
Three: Hold card at eye level at arms length away, or where you can see it clearly.
Four: Look at a distant object; see it clearly. Now, move your eyes back to a letter on the card (at the close point) and see it clearly for a few seconds. Perform this accommodative eye movement three times (in and out).
Five: When the letter on the card becomes easier to see, then move the card a couple inches closer and repeat this "close point and distant point" movement three times, as in Step Four.
Six: Next, move the card a few inches closer, while still seeing it clearly. Again, repeat the "close" and "distant" eye movement, always focusing your eyes as clearly as you can.
The accommodative eye muscles, just like any other body muscles, become weaker because of disuse. Eye exercises induce fresh blood flow, chi flow and nerve energy to the eye muscles and nerves, thereby enhancing vision. Perform this movement two or three times a week.
Eye Exercise � Part 2 (To Improve Distant Vision):
Follow the steps in above exercise, but reverse the procedure by looking at a card with letters on it, held at reading distance, 15 to 18 inches away from your eyes. Hold the card where you are able to see the letters' clearly, then immediately look at any object twenty feet away, i.e., tree, car, building etc. Next, focus your eyes from the card to the distant object, seeing both as clearly as possible, three times back and forth. Next, look at an object twenty to thirty feet further away than the first object. Repeat the back and forth eye movement three times. Continue with this exercise as you look at objects further into the distance. Practice this distance seeing accommodative eye movement for five minutes, two or three times a week.
Squeeze Eyes Tightly and Open Eyes Widely eye correction
Breathe in slowly and gradually squeeze your eyes tightly for 10 to 15 seconds. Next slowly exhale, making the sound "ssshhh" while opening your eyes widely. Repeat 3-6 times. This Taoist eye technique increases circulation to the eyes, prevents watery eyes, strengthens the eyelids and tear gland muscle (orbiculairs palpebrarum). This normalizes lachrymal glands. These glands furnish an alkaline solution that purifies the eyes and imparts a brilliant, sparkling luster to the eyes. The Healing Sound "Ssshhh" is used to purify the liver and calm the nervous system. Opening the eye wide while exhaling the sound "ssshhh" releases anger and tension from the liver and the eyes.
Indian Yoga Nasal Massage Technique for eye correction
Ayurvedic Indian Medicine teaches us that chronic colds, flu, mucus and lung congestion is the basic cause of most eye problems. The eyes are in close proximity to the nasal and sinus passages. Nasal massage helps to improve sinus conditions and allows you to see objects with clarity.
How to do: Dip your baby finger into sesame oil, ghee, or one drop of eucalyptus oil and insert it into each nostril. Massage as deep as possible. Slowly massage in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction. You may feel soreness. Go easy. You may also sneeze and blow your nose several times. Don't panic. This is a cleansing reaction by your body. It'll clear your sinuses pronto! It opens up the lung-breathing channels, releases pent-up emotions, and improves eye clarity. Gently perform the Yoga Nasal Massage three times a week, one minute for each nostril.
Head Lift Technique for Eye and Ear Problems
The "Head Lift" Technique is an excellent result-producing exercise to clear up ear and eye problems. It also helps to overcome headaches, neck and shoulder pain.
How to do: Place entire hand--fingers and palms around the neck at the lower part of the skull (mastoid protuberance). Next, lift your head upward (face pointing forward) and a bit forward, while turning your head to the right as you are lifting. Next, turn and lift head to the left in the same manner. This simple movement can help unblock any pinched nerves in the neck or trapeziums muscles. Lift up your head gently, but do not squeeze the neck too hard. Turn as far as you can, comfortable without straining or jerking. Practice the "Head Lift" several times daily, especially before sleep.
