Yoga of Perfect Sight

Permanent Improvement

Many patients find that while it is easy for them to obtain a temporary improvement in their sight by palming a sufficient length of time or by other methods, they do not seem to hold it permanently. In this connection it is well to remember that the normal eye with normal sight can only maintain normal sight permanently by consciously or unconsciously practising the slow, short, easy swing. When the normal eye has imperfect sight it can always be demonstrated that the swing stops from an effort. When the normal eye has normal sight, the eyes are at rest and all the nerves of the body feel comfortable. When the swing stops, one always feels more or less uncomfortable. Perfect sight can only be obtained easily, without effort. To have imperfect sight always requires a strain or an effort which stops the swing. Near-sighted patients who have normal vision for reading at the near point become able, when their attention is called to it, to demonstrate that they are more comfortable when reading the fine print than they are when they fail to see distant objects clearly.

Persons with imperfect sight should imitate the eye with normal sight by practising a perfect memory, a perfect imagination, a perfect swing, without effort, with perfect comfort all the time that they are awake. Reading of fine print daily in good light and in candlelight is a wonderful help to prevent and cure defective eyesight. To obtain a permanent cure it is necessary that children should devote a few minutes a day to palming, swinging, and reading the Snellen test card as long as they attend school.
