Eye Exercises  »   Eye exercises

Practice seeing without effort together with mood fluctuations, and keeping your back straight is essential.

The eye exercises from the book are as below.

1. Look up, but take your attention further, beyond the physical constraint of your eye, then look
down, and, again, take your attention further, beyond the physical constraint of your eye - 8 times
(up-down *8, and remember to keep your eyes relaxed - do not stress your eye muscles).
2. Look left, but take your attention further/beyond the physical constraint of your eye - behind your
ear in this case, look right, and, again... you got it. Do this 8 times, just as with point 1.
3. Look left, straight, right, straight, this one 4 times (left, straight, right, straight *4)
4. Follow a perfect circle with your eyes (don’t cut corners), 8-10 times in one direction, and then 8-
10 in the other direction.
5. Same as point 4, but look up (i.e. tilt your head towards the ceiling, and do the same as point 4).
Again, make sure that you maintain good mood throughout, as this really is vital, and will really put
things on steroids. Make each move comfortable, increase your good mood with every cycle. And
don’t forget to lightly blink after every exercise.
6. Do same as point 4, but with your eyes closed.
7. Do same as point 5, but with your eyes closed.
8. Look on to the top left corner (eyes are open again), bottom left corner, top right corner, and
bottom right corner, and do this cycle 4 times. Then do the same in the opposite direction.
9. Draw a horizontal 8 with your eyes (i.e. move your eyes in the shape of an 8), do about 8 of them
in each direction.
10. Now draw 8 vertically, also around 8 times in each direction will do.
11. Look at your nose for 2 seconds, then look straight, but take your attention to the sides, noticing
object which exist by each side of you (again, you cannot physically look in different directions,
unless you are a frog, or a lizard, but you can pay attention to these objects, noticing them with your
side/peripheral vision). Then look at the bridge of your nose for 2 seconds, and, again, to the sides,
as above. Lastly, look between your eyebrows for 2 seconds, then to the sides again. Do this cycle 4
times.
12. Sit up straight, close your eyes, and relax as much as you can - relax the whole body, and eye
muscles in particular (go through your whole body in your mind, in search for tense muscles, and
relax any tense muscles that you find). To help yourself relax, image of nature helps most people.
Then, when you feel that you have fully relaxed, imagine a butterfly, remember how it moves/spins
its wings. Now slowly, calmly open your eyes, and calmly start blinking, without tension, just like
the butterfly does when it moves it’s wings (10 seconds or so is enough).
13. And last stage. Relaxing your eyes as much as possible. Rub your hands against one another,
until you feel they start getting worm (10 - 15 seconds), then put them in a cross, one on another,
and put them on your face. Your eyes must rest right in the middle of your palms, but not touch
them. Make sure there is no light coming through, and then close your eyes. Fully relax (meaning
your shoulders will go down, face relaxed, tongue should be in a “hanging” state, etc. - just go
through your body in your mind again, looking for any tense muscles, and relax them. Sit in this
position for around 4 minutes, and then slowly put down your hands, keeping your eyes close.
Increase relaxation, think of nature. After about a minute in this state, take a deep breath, stretch
yourself, hands, feet etc., and open your eyes, while you breath out.

I hope this helped to all of you that were looking for some eye exercises you can do.
