Steps
1.Sun treatment: Look at the rising
sun early in the morning. Gaze at the
sun until the rays emerge. Avoid looking
at the emerging or hot sun.
2.Swing: Stand straight, comfortably
with feet apart, facing the sun. Keep
your hands relaxed. Gently close your
eyes and sway your body from one side
to the other. The sun is a source of energy.
It tones up and increases the working
efficiency of all six-eye muscles and
increases blood circulation to the eye.
Splashing: After the sun treatment, go
under a shed. Fill your mouth with cold
water and gently close your eyes. Fill
your palms with cold water and splash
against the eyes. Do the same at least
seven to eight times and gently wipe later.
3.Palming: Sit comfortably and close
your eyes gently. Rub your palms and cover
your eyes with them, avoiding any pressure
on the eyeballs and without allowing light
to pass through. If one does not experience
complete darkness during palming, and
if any colour appears, this indicates
that the eyes and mind are under strain.
This exercise should be practised for
a minimum of two to three minutes. This
is one of the best exercises for removing
tension, fatigue and myopia. Regular practice
improves eyesight. It is a very good exercise
for the eye muscles and the optic nerves.
Blinking. Sit straight comfortably. Close
and open your eyelids rapidly. Repeat
three to four times, followed by palming.
4.Gazing at the thumb: Sit straight in
any comfortable posture. Stretch both
your arms forward up to the shoulder Siddhasana,
Sukhasana or Padmasana. This kriya increases
stability and concentration of the mind,
strengthens the optic nerves, and corrects
weakness and certain disorders of the
eyes. It cures insomnia if practised at
night before sleep.
5.Gazing at the ball: Throw a ball from
one hand to the other. Or, throw the ball
to the ground and observe the bounces.
One should follow the ball movements and
blink after each catch. This exercise
improves the accommodation ability of
the eyes and also helps to form the blinking
habits. Do three to four times. Steam
Inhalation: Carry out steam inhalation
(adding a few eucalyptus leaves) for 30
seconds to a minute. Gently close your
eyes. After finishing, splash cold water
and wipe your face gently.
