The Art of Palming

There are various methods and techniques to help improve your eyesight naturally. Our poor eyesight exists because of our own bad habits. You see much better when your eyes, mind and body are all relaxed. The eyes need just as much care as the other organs in our body.

Palming is an excellent way to help the eyes relax naturally. Were you aware that even when you are sleeping, your eyes are in constant motion! This is how they are able to stay lubricated with the constant movement. It’s actually not possible to completely stop the eyes from moving, but we can learn to slow down their motion and help them relax.

Your eyes won't be able to relax until you first relax your mind. When your mind is constantly on the move thinking of all sorts of things, your eyes will strain in order to keep up. The palming method helps relax the mind and the eyes both at the same time. This method is very simple and takes less than 20 minutes. However, you can practice this method as long you need to.

The first step is to take off your glasses and get into a comfortable sitting position. You will want to rub your hands together for a few seconds to warm them up. Next you will want to close your eyes and cover them with your hands by placing one palm over each eye. Be sure that you aren't directly touching the eyes or putting any type of pressure on the eyelids. Your fingers need to cross on your forehead and your elbows should rest on a table or your knees.

Now that you are in this position you will want to fully relax. You can do this by first tensing all muscles from your head down to your toes and then release them and relax completely. The more relaxed you are, the blacker things will be. After doing this you might experience some grayish colors at first but they will eventually become a darker shade of black. Your inner rest is measured by the degree of darkness.

Enjoy this rest for at least 15 minutes, more if you prefer. Now and then let your mind focus on pleasant things such as trees blowing in the wind or the ocean waves crashing on the shore. Try to forget all about things that you need to do. Just clear your mind of any unpleasant thoughts.

When you open your eyes, they will see a little better than they did before. Colors and shapes will be much more defined. This is the art of palming. By practicing this method often, you can make this relaxed state of mind and body a pleasant habit and improve your vision permanently.
