Yoga for Eyes
Eyes have muscles that work all the time. Working on the computer all day or focusing on small things really makes your eyes tired. You need to exercise your eyes to keep their strength so they will last a long time. Here is the yoga way to exercise your eyes.
Step 1. Hand cubbing. Take off your glasses or contact lenses. Rub your plams together to generate warmth and continue rubbing until they feel fairly warm. Then place your palms of your hands over your closed eyes for a minute. While absobing the heat, breath deeply and feel your stomach fill with air deeply.
Step 2. Side to Side. Next put both hands by your sides, open your eyes and move your eye balls to the extreme left. Then move to the right as far as you can. Repeat 4 times. Then, repeat step 1 with a deep breath and take your hands off. Rub hands together until you feel warm and put hands on eye lids again. Relax and deep breath.
Step 3. Diagonal. Move eyeballs from top right to bottom left like you’re crossing your eyes. Repeat 4 times. Then rest by closing your eyes.
Step 4. Clockwise. Move your eyes in a full circle clockwise, then repeat the same action counterclockwise. Repeat 4 times.
Step 5. Up and Down. Move your eyes upward as far as you can. Then move them downwards as far as you can. Repeat this four more times. Close your eyes and rest.
Step 6. Contraction. Close your eyes as tightly as you possibly can, then squeeze the eyes until your eye muscles are fully contracted. Hold this contraction tight for few seconds, then let it go quickly.
This is the perfect way to exercise your eyes and keep them healthy and strain reduction.
