A manual on the natural care of the eye with exercises to improve eyesight & treat various eye disorders. Also includes letters by Sri Aurobindo on yogic vision
This book, which is a comprehensive manual on the natural care of the eye, starts from the concept that eyesight is intricately connected to the mind and explains how good habits of eye care and mental relaxation can keep the eyes rested and refreshed. It then suggests simple but effective exercises to improve eyesight and treat various eye disorders. There are also chapters on the discoveries of Dr W. H. Bates and the physiology of the eye, as well as case histories, question-and-answer sections, and some letters by Sri Aurobindo on eyesight and yogic vision.
Palming has greatly helped me to relax my nerves of the head and eyes and of the whole body. I often suffered from headache in the midst of my work and at times had vomiting. The whole body was under strain. But now everything has become easy and I no more suffer from headache.
One day my brother had severe headache. He was wearing glasses. I told him to start palming. After half an hour the vision considerably improved. He teaches others how to do palming to obtain relaxation.
Palming and reading of the Snellen test card daily has enabled me to preserve good eyesight. It gives me strength in my imagination, and I can do my work much better.
I told my mother to do palming, I said it would help her, but she did not believe me. One day I said, "Mother, palm." She said, "All right." Finally a week later she could see clearly and began to read fine print. She said, "I am glad I did what you told me."
We have a palming lesson every day. While we are palming we have a little music in order to think of something pleasant. It has cured many weak-eyesight students and relieved their pains of the head. It is spreading everywhere. and we see lots of people doing it now.
Palming is a wonderful treatment for the eyes and mind. I do not get excited now and my eyesight has become normal. I get good sleep. My sister is cured of her squint.
