Yoga for the eyes - 5+ exercises, useful tips and practices

Why do vision problems occur?

Official medicine claims that focusing of vision depends on the ability of the lens to change its own shape. However, there are patients whose lens was completely removed, but thanks to glasses with hard lenses they were able to focus their eyes. Such cases contradict the opinion of official ophthalmology and are not explained in any way.

Experiments by American ophthalmologist William Horatio Bates conducted on various animals prove that the shape of the eyeball changes under the influence of six external muscles located around the eye. After their dissection, the animals could not focus.

What causes age-related changes?

Constant muscle tension makes the lens of the eye more elongated, which leads to myopia. Transmitted light is focused not on the retina, but in front of it, which makes the visual image blurry. For the same reason, people suffering from such diseases often feel painful sensations in the organs of vision.

In such cases, it is customary to use glasses that additionally refract light, helping to maintain focus on the retina. The problem cannot be solved this way. Eye strain never goes away, so the situation only gets worse over time. Myopia provokes retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Any of these diseases could potentially result in complete blindness.

A person's inability to relax the extraocular muscles not only leads to myopia, but also causes farsightedness and other age-related changes.

Muscle tension is not the only cause of poor vision. Constant movement is also a necessary condition in the process of vision. The eyes make constant micro-movements called saccades. Some movements are so small that they cannot even be noticed without special equipment. If for some reason this activity is disrupted, it leads to complete blindness.

A person stops seeing because the brain is not able to perceive static sensory information, but only its sequences. For example, we can much more accurately determine the properties of an object when touched if we move it over it, rather than just placing our palm.

The brain takes an active part in the process of vision. It controls the movement, forms an image and then gives the command to move to a new position. Thus, vision is a human sensory-motor activity that is associated with brain function.

Accordingly, disturbances in brain function can cause visual impairment. Therefore, to preserve and maintain it, it is worth paying attention not only to eye exercises, but also to meditation. Various types of contemplative exercises change the activity of the brain and restore some of its functions.

Contraindications

Gymnastics is contraindicated for people suffering from blepharitis.
You can perform yoga exercises to improve vision in the absence of the following diseases:

• blepharitis, conjunctivitis;
• cataract;
• trachoma;
• glaucoma;
• retinal detachment.

For the listed pathologies and other serious eye diseases, it is also not recommended to perform inverted yoga asanas. First of all, it is necessary to successfully complete a course of traditional treatment and only after consulting an ophthalmologist carefully perform yoga techniques and exercises for vision, carefully monitoring your condition.

Yoga for the eyes - a set of exercises

In total, the complex consists of 4 sections that anyone can do:

1. visualization
2. eye exercises
3. blink
4. sunbathing

And now in more detail about each set of exercises to improve vision.

Visualization

For some, the visualization process can be a stumbling block, especially if there is no prior meditation experience.

We lie on our backs (preferably on the floor), pull our feet to the pelvis, rest them on the floor, and place our hands on our stomach. We close our eyes, imagine the dark blue color, and concentrate our attention on it.

Some students find it difficult to induce a feeling of relaxation in this position and simply relax. Moreover, such a task leads to even greater stress. After a few minutes of attempts, the task becomes impossible. They begin to see flashes, lines, patterns.

Such “interference” signals the so-called “noise” of the brain, which is formed in an unbalanced nervous system. That is, the problem of vision lies not in the visual organs, but in the improper functioning of the brain.

Therefore, those who are faced with a similar problem especially need meditative exercises and other yoga practices that can calm the nervous system and restore the balance between neural excitation and inhibition.

The next step is to place your palms on the area around the eyes, but do not touch them. We squeeze our fingers tightly so that the light does not penetrate. We focus our attention on the darkest spot. We try to increase it as much as possible until the dark area completely covers the field of view. We maintain the position for as long as possible.

Why is it so important to visualize blue-black? During visualization, the same brain neurons are activated as during real exposure. For the brain, there is no significant difference between imaginary objects (actions) and real ones. Throughout life, in both wakefulness and sleep, the optic nerve is in an active state. After all, we see dreams. Therefore, the eyes almost never rest. For their relaxation it is necessary to create special conditions. Since the eyelids are not very dense, it is worth helping to create complete darkness with the help of your palms.

We remove our hands and leave our eyes closed.

Exercise to improve vision

Now let's move on to physical exercises. Make sure that every movement is made as smoothly as possible, without jerks or large jumps.

A glance at the ear

• We slowly look away to the left, as if trying to look at our ear. The head does not move;
• fix the position for 30 seconds, return your gaze forward, and move it very slowly and smoothly to the right;
• then repeat the exercise at a faster pace. 1 second - left, 1 second - right;
• We do 10 repetitions.

Diagonal eye movement

• Without opening our eyes, we slowly look up to the left, as if trying to look under the left eyebrow. We fix it for 30 seconds;
• We move our gaze down and to the right, again stop for 30 seconds. We change sides. We look at the upper right corner, then at the lower left;
• repeat quickly 10 times in one direction and the other.

Circles

• slowly rotate our eyes 10 circles clockwise and 10 circles counterclockwise;
• if it is difficult, in the first stages you can do it with your eyes open.

Looking at the tip of the nose

• we look at the tip of the nose;
• fix our gaze for 30 seconds;
• then we also transfer it to the area between the eyebrows for 30 seconds.

Concentration on a point

• move to a sitting position;
• choose a point directly in front of you. We concentrate on it for 30 seconds;
• then quickly move our gaze to the tip of the nose and back. Repeat 10 times.

Cover your eyes with your palms

• intensively rub your palms together until warm;
• fold our hands again into boats, tightly closing the area around the eyes;
• We fix our attention on the dark dark blue spots, trying to maximize them;
• We try to feel how the warmth from our hands flows directly into our eyes.

Frequent blinking

The third exercise sounds more like a recommendation. Try to blink more often.

The organs of vision need to be moisturized and cleansed naturally.

In addition, recent studies by Japanese scientists prove that when blinking a person is able to improve the focus of his attention. In the process, the brain activates the passive mode networks, thereby ensuring its “reboot”. This mechanism allows you to maintain concentration longer and get less tired.

Sunbathing

One of the most important exercises. Spend as much time in the sun as possible. Look at it with your eyes closed, in the morning or evening. In this case, it is better to be half a turn towards the sun (45 degrees).

Thousands of years ago, people noticed that sunlight had healing properties.

Ancient Indian, Egyptian and Greek healers advised their patients to spend more time in the sun for a quick recovery. This is confirmed by Egyptian papyri and the works of Greek philosophers. Modern scientists are only “rediscovering” what was known to mankind thousands of years ago. For example, in 2005, scientists found that a patient staying in a sunny room after surgery experienced much less pain than under artificial light.

Why are exercises not widely used?

Some scientists and physical therapists in the 20th century tried to popularize these self-healing methods, but faced opposition, despite many examples of patients using similar methods restoring vision.

Official medicine is trying to label exercise as quackery. They are trying to denigrate free or cheap healing methods because people are no longer profitable. It is not possible to make money on something that is available to any network user. Whether it's expensive surgical interventions or the eyeglass market. Millions or even billions of people pay for things that make their situation worse.

Another reason is natural human laziness.

It’s much easier to hope for a magic pill that you swallow and everything goes away.

It is difficult to force yourself to make daily efforts without guaranteeing results. It seems to me that it is still worth fighting for your health. If there is even a small opportunity to avoid surgery, or improve your health, you should not discard it, since in the worst case you have nothing to lose.
