Have you ever noticed your vision became worse at the end of a stressful day? Perhaps it improves after a nap, or a vacation? Would you like to revive and maintain your eyesight through quick, simple techniques such as palming, blinking, breathing or even laughter? Donna Gross, now a natural vision specialist, wore thick glasses as a young child and was determined to find a better way to be able to see and read. She found the book, Light, Medicine of the Future written by Joe Liberman and it changed her whole outlook. If you spend even 10 minutes a day working on the suggestions below, your vision will improve. I know because I have tried it. It works and I guarantee it!
A positive attitude, diet, exercise, a clean intestinal tract as well as light play important roles in maintaining healthy eyes. Believe it or not, preservation of the eyes starts with taking off your glasses. Wearing glasses keeps your eyes in a constant state of tension which only sustains poor vision. With the glasses off, most people feel a sense of fatigue settle over their body. Palming is an easy way to combat this.
Palming
Rub the palms of your hands briskly for a few minutes to create fiction. Then gently place the bottom of your palms on the bone directly underneath the eyes. Cover the eyes completely, resting the fingers on the top of your forehead or hairline. Make sure your back is straight as you sit silently in the darkness. Sitting backwards in an armless chair with your elbows resting on the back of the chair works well. Then, visualize a happy time in your life. Languish in this virtual reality. Breath slowly and deeply and fill your lungs with new air. As you breathe, feel the joyful event, moment by moment. Do this five to ten minutes several times a day. You will be amazed at how well rested your whole body will begin to feel.
Blinking
If you are having a hard time focusing while reading, remember to blink. Blinking more frequently and moving the head in the direction of whatever you are focusing on while you read, drive or walk rejuvenates the eyes.
Real rejuvenation can only start with a clean colon. The quote, "the eyes are the windows to the soul" could be a reference to our intestinal tract. A clean colon plays a major role in healthy eyes. How can our spirits soar if our intestinal tract is all clogged up? Seeing clearly is literally about being clear and clean on the inside so that we may shine (being productive, happy and positive) in our daily lives. Therefore, I also recommend a simple juice cleanse to move us along.
Juicing
Carrots (which are good for the eyes), beets and celery (which are full of organic salt that breaks down in the body quickly) is a wonderful juice combination. The fiber helps the body assimilate and absorb the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Sunlight
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed through light which is just as important for the health of our eyes as our overall well being. In our modern society we tend to hide our eyes from light by always wearing sunglasses anytime we are outside. Our skin needs certain amounts of Vitamin D from the sun and so do our eyes. In fact, our bodies absorb the Vitamin D easier when it comes in directly through the eyes. If your eyes are sensitive to light without glasses, it usually indicates some toxicity within the body. Since light is a major form of nutrition, your eyes and body will benefit tremendously if you go outside and close your eyes for at least ten minutes a day absorbing the suns rays.
Light not only affects our bodies directly but also affects us indirectly through the foods we eat. Eating high on the food chain (animal products) or consuming many junk, fast, frozen, irradiated or heavily processed foods significantly reduces and/or totally eliminates light's nutritional value within that food. An example of this would be the nutritional difference between a fresh green apple and a piece of processed hard candy. The most light filled foods are blue green algae and organically grown fruits and vegetables.
Laughter
And last but not least, consider this from the Humor Project in New York: Laughing 100 times a day is equal to a ten minute session of rowing. So, why sweat when you can laugh? Be seeing you.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)I'm in the eye care business and I consider this article to be bunkum.I am sorry you feel this way. I have been doing and studying this awhile and have seen many positive changes in people. I have not said it was the answer for everyone but if one has an open mind, it is sure worth trying don't you think? Considering the high cost of glasses, cataract surgery etc.I don't know what kind of eye care business you are in, you didn't specify, but it seems to me that possibly these alternative eye treatments might be a threat to your business by your comment?If your eyeballs are the wrong shape to focus properly . . . then your eyeballs are the wrong shape to focus properly. It's not really an issue of vitamins and blinking. If you *do* have a vitamin deficiency then that's another issue.
