How to improve your vision?
PALMING
1. Remember to breathe. Take two deep breaths.
2. Find a flat table to sit at, lean forward, place your elbows on the table, and close your eyes gently.
3. Now, place the palm of your left hand over your left eye, your fingers on your forehead, and the hollow of your palm directly over the eye, but not touching it. There is still room to blink. The heel of your hand rests on the cheekbones.
4. Then place the other hand over the other eye with the fingers crossing over the fingers from the other hand. The palm should be over the eye and the heel of the hand resting on the cheekbones.
5. Make sure your elbows are low enough so that your face and the weight of your head are resting in your palms so that there is no stress on the neck.
Palming gives you the opportunity not to try to see, but to just focus on relaxing your mind and eyes simultaneously. Even though we recommend that you do this for only three minutes, palming can be done for as little or as much as you like throughout the day as a way to relax your eyes and calm down from the tensions of daily life.
SCANNING

2. You can stand, sit or move around your environment.
3. As you look at objects, let your eyes glide over them as if you were painting them with your eyes. Continue to breathe deeply and easily.
4. As your eyes shift from object to object allow them to move easily without staring and continue to breathing and blinking. They should move in a relaxed manner without any tension. Make sure to release any release any tension in the moth or the jaw.

EFFORTLESS FOCUS

EYE MASSAGE

4. When you press each point, be gentle. Don't use too much force and avoid putting pressure on the eyeballs.
5. Put your thumbs below your eyebrows and above the inside corners of your eyes and place the other four fingers of each hand on your forehead. Press your thumbs into the point for four breaths.
6. Use the thumb and index finger of either hand to massage the bridge of your nose. Press the point and then squeeze with an upward motion. Press and squeeze four times for four breaths.
7. Place your middle fingers on your cheek bones, directly below the center of each eye.
Massage the center part of your cheek for four breaths.

Move to the middle of the eyebrow and massage. Then massage the end of the eyebrow. Lastly, massage right below the middle of your eye. All these exercises can either be done at a separate time in the order given or incorporated into your daily life activities.
