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.
1) That the sun treatment is of an immediate benefit to many diseases of the eye.
Before the treatment, take a record of your best vision on the Snellen eye chart and on the Reading test type. Then sit in the sun with your eyes closed, slowly moving your head a short distance from side to side, and allowing the sun to shine directly on your closed eyelids. Forget about your eyes; just think of something pleasant and let your mind drift from one pleasant thought to another. Before opening your eyes, palm for a few minutes, then test your vision and note the improvement.
2) That long swing improves the sight, relieves pain, fatigue and many other disagreeable symptoms.
Take a record of your best vision with both eyes together and each eye separately without glasses. Stand with the feet about one foot apart facing a blank wall. Turn the body to the left, at the same time raising the heel of the right foot. Now place the heel of the right foot on the floor in its usual position; then turn the body to the right, lifting the heel of the left foot.
The head and eyes move with the body; do not make an effort to see more distinctly stationary objects which are apparently moving. Practise this fifty to one hundred times, easily without making any effort. Notice that, after practising, the vision of the test card improves.
