The windows of the soul

Eye exercises

Ideally these are done with no lenses.

Gaze gently straight ahead. Look up then down. Only with eyes keeping neck and head relaxed. Continue for a minute or so. Up and down.

Then rub hands briskly together and cup hands over eyes. Feel the soothing warm energy flowing into your eyes. Hold for a minute or longer.

Continue:

Gaze straight ahead and then look to your left and then to your right. Continue side to side.

Again, rub hands and cover eyes. This is important.

Now pretend there is a huge clock in front of you. Look at 12 o'clock then 1, then 2, and so on around the clock, taking your time. Three times around. Then reverse direction and repeat  three times.

Again, rub hands and cover eyes and relax here for a while.

Lastly, bring a finger below the level of your nose. Look at the tip of your finger. Then look at a single point out in the horizon. Look back and forth. Finger tip. Point in horizon. Do this for about one minute.

Warm hands and cup them over your eyes.

Lie down with your legs up the wall. Or come into shoulder stand and then a gentle twist on your back.

Be still now.
