PALMING

Marble Surface

EYE BREATHING

- as though you were breathing in through one eye,

- and out through the other

- followed by the other eye

- following the breathing imaginative inside the head, 

   either straight or crossing like an eight

Marble Surface

DARK / LIGHT

- behind a lamp or in the sun, both eyes closed,

   one eye covered

- see the lighter part, until completely bright

- see the dark part, until completely dark, and repeat

- change eyes

Motion Vision

Marble Surface

- look to an object, keep your head straight

- rotate the object in different directions

-A- horizontal / vertical / diagonal

-B- round

-C- in dept

-D- an 8 shape flat and crossing in between the eyes

Extended explanation of ROTATION = This is actually a real muscle training ! Yet combined with some fixation effort, which is a brain capacity in coordination with the in and output of the eyes. Fluent rotations improves: -Flexibility -The foundation of a good eye coordination -Viewing power -Acuity (especially in smoothing out astigmatism and releasing tensions, also good for myopia) -Reaction time -Special awareness Take any kind of object to fixate. (this may be a pen or pencil or any small tool at hand) The exercise is done within arm length. To remember: we use most horizontal movements ! Close second comes the vertical. This means, eyes should at least be moving smoothly in these two directions. In any muscle training, one needs to consider the complete set of movements to have a balanced result. The different directions or strengths do give support to the most used movements. With this exercise one brings the not only the 2x6 outer muscles in shape, but also the 22x2 inner eye muscles. Here is how to do the ROTATIONS : 1.ARM LENGTH: Hold the object in front at relaxed arm length. Move slowly, smoothly. 2.Start with moving it in a circular shape. ( an extra head length above your head, the whole circle should be like a diameter of 1m (3ft). Move in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. 3.On same arm length make an x and a +, all 8 directions. 4.Move in depth, straight in front, and again vertically in depth, (like a half a circle in sideway view) Starting above towards your nose, and away below, and the other way around. Then most important, horizontal. 5.NEAR: Bring the object close to the nose and start to rotate up close (the object appears blurry). This is like a flat 8 shaped rotation. Repeat both directions once. 6.FAR: This one is extra. Use a laser pointer or a flashlight in a darker room. You can make circles and x & +.
