Enhancing the Vision through Qigong Exercises
Wearing eyeglasses may be able to help someone see better but it definitely can not restore the health of the eyes. That is because it weakens the eye muscles as the eyes begin to depend on it and becomes idle. Therefore, eyeglasses do not make a person’s vision better but it can eventually make the vision worse as evidenced by the need for a stronger prescription glasses.
With the use of Qigong exercises, one can enhance his vision and preserve good eyesight.
Before doing the exercises it is imperative that a person evaluate his vision first in order to have a baseline data and to see your progress.
One should assess the vision by means of an eye chart without using glasses. A 20/20 vision means that one can see clearly at the distance of 20 feet. A person who is nearsighted is unable to see at a far distance. Likewise, a person who is farsighted will not be able to see clearly the things that are near.
Also, while doing the exercises, be sure not to move the head, only the eyes. One can use his finger and allow the eyes to follow it.
Here are some of the essential eye exercises:
1. First, look to the right as far as you can (moving the eyes laterally). With this movement, you will be able to feel the pull of the eye muscles while holding it in this spot. Then, by using diaphragmatic breathing, inhale and exhale in three to four seconds. Do the same exercises as you shift your eyes to the left. Stretch the eye muscles for four times synchronizing it with diaphragmatic breathing.
2. Next is to look up as far as you can. Hold it in this position while you breathe gradually using diaphragmatic breathing. Then, move your eyes downward, and inhale and exhale for three to four seconds while holding the eyes in this spot.
Regularly doing these exercises will give you amazing results in no time. However, be cautious not to exert too much effort in stretching the eye muscles because it can be strained.
