MASSAGE
Remember I said earlier, that any kind of strain or tension weakens the eyes?
So anything you can do to help the muscles of the eyes relax, will help your vision.
That also goes for the surrounding muscles, like the face, neck, shoulders, head
etc.
Massage is great for this, and here’s a simple massage you
can do on yourself, whenever you have a spare moment or
two. It’s also great to do this before and/or after your daily 15
minute eye exercise session.
The Face
Warm your fingers by rubbing them together and begin with your jaw. Always begin
very gently and notice what you feel and what effect it is having on you.
Work outward from the point of your chin under and behind the ears. The point
directly under the ears is often very tight. Opening and closing the jaw is a good
idea as well as yawning.
Work from the bridge of the nose outward over the cheekbones and up toward the
temples. Use circular strokes on the temples. Continue on the eyebrows, working
outward from the center using long strokes. Use your fingertips to stretch out the
brow, and alternate with picking up the brow with your thumb and forefinger and
stretching it out.
Often a point between the brow is very tense, so use small circular motions on this
area. Another delicate point is in the indentation outside the bridge of the nose on
the inner edge of the eyebrows. This is also an excellent acupressure point for the
eyes.
