1. Palming
- Sit comfortable on a chair. Close your eyes.
- Rub the palms of your hands vigorously, until they become warm and place the palms gently over your eye lids.
- Hold your hands over your eyes until the heat from the hands has been completely absorbed by the eyes.
- Repeat the process at least three times.
2. Blinking
- Sit comfortably with your eyes open.
- Blink around 10 times very quickly.
- Close your eyes and relax for 20 seconds. Slowly take your attention to your breath.
- Repeat this exercise about 5 times.
3. Range of Motion
The following eye patterns are designed to strengthen the muscles of the eyes in a mobilizing way which will ultimately improve your eye sight naturally.- 1. Look straight ahead and look all the way up. Count 2 seconds, then look all the way down.
- 2. Count 2 seconds. Then look to the extreme left. Repeat and look to the extreme right.
- 3. Now you have to move your eyes to the four diagonal corners. (you may feel tight stretches in your eyes which is a good thing).Begin with looking to the extreme top-left corner, bottom-right, top-right and end with bottom-left for one whole cycle.
- 4. Rolling of eyes is also a good exercise. This can be done by slowly circling your eyeballs in clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
- As you do each one, remember to keep breathing. Do each one 8 – 10 times. Remember to maintain your head stationary.
4. The Cross Eye
- Lift the right arm straight directly in front of the face. Making a fist, keep your thumb pointing upward.
- Focus on the tip of the thumb, now bend the arm and gradually bring the thumb closer to you, focusing until your thumb is about 3 inches in front of your face. Remain in this position for a while
- Continuing to gaze at the tip of the thumb, slowly straighten the arm.
- This is one round. Perform at least five such rounds.
- You can also practice this exercise by holding a pencil in front of you at arm’s length.
