Palming for eyes using the Bates method

Why do my eyes get tired?

There can be several reasons for eye fatigue, and they are not always caused by tedious reading of literature or sitting at the computer. Eyes may become tired due to:

• general body fatigue;
• diseases of the eyes, headaches or teeth;
• instability of blood pressure;
• osteochondrosis of the cervical spine;
• taking medications.

As you can see, the reasons can be the most unexpected. To these can be added a violation of the body’s hormonal balance and incorrectly selected glasses. Too dry air in the room also affects the mucous membranes - it dries out and the eyes look tired. Poor lighting is also important: the eyes are forced to overstrain in order to see letters or objects.

Symptoms of tired eyes include:

• redness of the whites of the eyeball and eyelids;
• tingling, burning and stinging sensation, as if a foreign body gets into the eye;
• a feeling that a “veil” has closed the eyes;
• the appearance of small dots before the eyes;
• decreased visual acuity;
• irritation from bright light.

If the intraocular pressure increases, the condition is also aggravated by a headache. Now let's look at effective exercises to relax your eyes and relieve fatigue. Let's learn how to do eye palming and what you need to eat for the health of your visual centers.

Secrets of palming for vision

What is palming for the eyes? Bates was the first to publish a yogic method of relaxing the eyes; subsequently, domestic healers Zhdanov and Norbekov drew attention to it. The secret of this miracle technique is to use your palms to restore visual function. According to the teachings of yogis, there are energy centers in the palms and fingertips, which is where the healing power of laying hands on the patient lies.

Remember that a person always holds his hand on a sore spot. This happens intuitively, because the healing power lies in the hands. This is the secret of palming for the eyes. The effectiveness of exercise lies in three features:

• natural hand energy;
• relaxing warmth of the palms;
• absolute darkness, which calms the visual centers.

But the main secret is the palms of a person’s hands. Without them, darkness and warmth will not help. Before the exercises, you need to prepare your hands by rubbing them together. This is what psychics always do to activate and open energy points.

After preparing the palms, it is necessary to turn off or close any light source that affects the nerve centers and activates visual processes. It is in absolute darkness that our eyes can completely relax.

If you wear contact lenses or glasses, they must be removed. You can play relaxing music to set the mood for a relaxation and healing session. It's no secret that most health problems occur due to stress and physical strain. A meditative environment and complete peace will allow the eye muscles to completely relax.

Palming for the eyes: how to do it

Palming helps improve vision. The name of this method of eye relaxation comes from the English. palm meaning palm. The conversation here will be about using the biofield of your hands, which can perform miracles. This simple exercise was developed based on the teachings of China and India.

First of all, you need self-hypnosis - be convinced that palming improves vision, and will probably even help you get rid of the need to wear glasses. Ready? Now let's begin.

To increase the energy of your hands, rub your palms harder against each other until you feel warmth. It's best to keep your hands hot. If your palms are dry and hot, everything is fine with your energy. When the hands are only slightly warm, the biofield is lowered. If they do not warm up or moisturize at all, this carries information about major problems in the body. In any case, do this exercise - your energy will improve over time.

1. We place our hands on the eyes so that the central part of the palms is directed towards the eyeballs, while the palms themselves should cross in the center of the forehead. Elbows should be resting on the table.
2. Make sure that the light does not fall behind your palms. If you still have the so-called. white spots, this means that the eyes need relaxation.
3. Imagine: you paint them with black paint or hide them under a dark blanket.
4. Think about something good, fantasize, daydream, that is, do everything to experience pleasure. Stay in this state as much as possible: 5-10 minutes. The longer the better.
5. Now slowly remove your hands from your eyes and open them.

Another option for palming is available in hormonal gymnastics in Tibet.

First exercise - palming

So, the essence of gymnastics is clear to us - darkness and warmth of the palms. Now you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for performing the healing procedure.

1. Exercises should be performed in a sitting position with your elbows resting on the surface. To prevent your elbows from getting tired, you can place a soft pillow or folded cloth under them.
2. An important condition for proper gymnastics is complete relaxation of all the muscles of the body, not just the eyes. Therefore, it is important to choose a comfortable body position when performing gymnastics.
3. You need to form a “boat” from your palms and cover your eyes with them so that the edges touch the nose and the fingers cross each other.

Note! The palms should not put pressure on the eyes, but only cover them from above.

What happens during this exercise? At first, the practitioner sees bright flashes of light, colored circles or patterns in front of him. This indicates that the eyes are tired from overexertion and need rest.

The goal of this exercise is to hold your palms over your eyes until the flashes of light disappear completely. There should be absolute darkness before your eyes. To help yourself relax completely, try to think about something pleasant or just listen to a calm piece of music.

If prayer helps you calm down, you can mentally pray to God. If you are soothed by natural landscapes, you can remember pleasant walks in the park or forest. It depends on the individual characteristics of the person.

To ensure your healing session is not interrupted unexpectedly, turn off your mobile device and landline phone. You should be in complete peace, and nothing should disturb your inner harmony.

How many minutes does eye palming need to be done? Five minutes in silence and darkness is enough for your eyes to relax and rest. Over time, you can carry out the exercise longer, this will only bring benefits.

How to finish this exercise correctly? You need to remove your palms and sit for a while with your eyes closed. Then blink your eyes at a fast pace, and only then open.

How many times should you do the exercises? In case of severe fatigue and decreased vision, gymnastics should be performed at least five times a day. This is especially true for those who spend a lot of time reading or on the computer. When you feel tired, do gymnastics.

How is palming performed?

Palming must be performed without glasses or contact lenses.

Most often, this exercise is performed in a sitting position, resting your elbows on a hard surface or a soft stand that is on your knees. Palming posture plays a very important role. Relaxation of the eye muscles and the body as a whole depends solely on the position you choose.

You can also perform the exercise in a lying position. Remember that tension throughout the entire body can make the exercise completely unsuccessful.

So, rub your palms together thoroughly to feel the characteristic warmth. Palming is also popularly called natural warming of the eyes. You need to close your eyes with warm palms so that the edges of the palms cover the nose, and the tightly closed fingers cross each other, as indicated in the image. The palms should look like small boats so that they do not come into contact with the eyes. You must remain in this position for at least four minutes.

It is very important to remember that under no circumstances should you put pressure on your eyes or create tension, and light should not penetrate your fingers. It is very effective to perform eye palming with the lights off.

Second exercise for vision

William Bates discovered a certain pattern - the connection between eye health and a person’s mental state. Thus, with positive emotions, vision noticeably improves, and with depression, it decreases. On this basis, the scientist suggests the following eye exercise.

1. Remember some significant event that happened in the lap of nature - a trip to the park, a walk along forest paths, a vacation in a sanatorium.
2. Remember as many details of the landscape as possible and your psychological state at the same time. Try to relive the pleasant emotions associated with this event.
3. Take Sivtsev’s vision test chart and read the bottom lines written in large print. Then move on to the fine print lines.
4. Do palming for the eyes.
5. After this, try to read the top lines in small print on the table.

If as a result of the exercise your vision clarity has improved even a little, this is a great achievement. Keep practicing until you get great results. Memories may be associated not with the natural landscape, but with smells or sounds. You will determine this for yourself. The main thing is to enjoy the memories.

Palming - a simple exercise to restore vision

What is palming?

Palming is an exercise to relax the eyes. It is very ancient and belongs to yogis. The palming exercise should be performed every time you feel tension in your eyes or when you simply dream or imagine something.

At first glance, palming for the eyes is a very simple exercise that does not require any effort. However, problems may arise when performing it, especially with regard to the psychological part of palming.

It turns out that every organ, every part of the body has its own energy. Problematic organs have a weak biofield, while strong ones have the opposite.

Now let's look at our hands. Yes! Yes, there turns out to be the strongest biofield, many times greater than the biofield in other parts of the body.

Now let's sneak up on our eyes. So, detailed instructions for palming for the eyes:

1. Mood. Again? - You say. Yes! Get into the mood again. Understand why you need good vision, what will it give you? Imagine how you proudly trample your glasses under your feet in front of your family. Anything as long as it gives you a rush!
2. Rub your hands together vigorously until you feel warm. This is necessary so that the energy of the hands becomes stronger;
3. Apply your hands to your eyes as follows: the center of the palms is directed towards the eyes, and the palms themselves cross one another in the center of the forehead. The palms are straight, it is necessary that the center of the palm is as close as possible to your eyes. Ideally, you can tickle your palm with your eyelashes. It is important that the light does not penetrate the palms.
4. Place your elbows on your lap or on the table. They need support, don’t hold your hands in the air, this will cause tension and distract you.
5. If you still have so-called white spots, this means that your eyes need to be allowed to relax. Imagine painting them with black paint, or putting a black blanket on them;
6. Have fun! Literally, relax, have fun, think about the most pleasant moment in life, fantasize, dream. In general, do everything to feel pleasure. Stay in this state for as long as possible. There are no time restrictions. If you can sit for five minutes - great, ten - great. The bigger, the better.
7. Smoothly remove your hands from your eyes and slowly open them. All!

Third exercise - presenting images

William Bates noticed another feature: the influence of visual images on the eyes. Therefore, he suggests using visual imagery while practicing palming.

Progress:

• Perform the main exercise - palming.
• Imagine in your mind's eye various objects in dark colors - a dark closet, clothes and other objects.
• Draw in your imagination a circle on which the alphabet is written in dark letters. Read the letters moving clockwise.

Fourth exercise - drawing shapes

Physical activity is very beneficial for the eyes. This strengthens the muscles and enriches the blood with oxygen. Bates suggests the following exercises to strengthen your vision.

1. Slowly raise your pupils up, then lower them too slowly.
2. Blink your eyes quickly for a while.
3. Imagine an equilateral cross in front of you and trace it with your eyes.
4. Imagine any geometric shapes in front of you and trace their outline to your eyes.

What is important in this exercise? It can be done both with closed and open eyelids. It is important to be able to imagine the outline of a figure in front of you, and imagine the eyes as an artist’s brush. Outline the outline of the figure with your eyes, as if you were drawing with a brush or pencil. After introducing each figure, remember to blink your eyes frequently.

How to do the exercise

First, make your palm completely flat by fully straightening your fingers. Then place your straight palm on your eye, just covering it. On the other palm you need to move the little finger. Then place your straight palm on the other eye.

It should turn out in such a way that the little finger seems to connect two palms. And the whole structure looks like wearing glasses, in the shape of an English letter V, only upside down.

The palming exercise is performed with your eyes closed, this is the whole point. Closing your eyes, you need to completely relax. Both the palms and fingers should also be relaxed. To make it more comfortable, you need to rest your elbows on some surface, for example, on your knees. For special comfort, you can put a pillow - softly and well.

Lean forward slightly, forming a straight line: head - neck - spine. Try to relax your body muscles as much as possible. As for your palms, if you position them in a way that is comfortable for you, this is not critical.

The main thing in performing the exercise is that your palms do not put pressure on your eyes, because this will lead to tension. To check that you are laying your hands correctly, open your eyes under your palms. If it turns out freely, then everything is correct.

As you begin the exercise, think about something particularly pleasant and disconnect from reality. There is no need to peer into the darkness under your palms; let your thoughts fly.

At first glance, the exercise may seem very simple and effortless. However, this impression is deceiving.

The importance of palming for vision

What is palming and why does it help improve the quality of vision? Doctors call this gymnastics biophoresis due to the effect of thermal radiation from the palms. To enhance the quality of gymnastics, you need to do the following:

1. Go to the window and look at the sun.
2. Close your eyes and leave the sunlight in them (the impression of it).
3. Start palming while keeping the sun's warmth inside you.

The energy of the sun's rays, invisible to the eye, produces a healing effect on the visual centers. By holding the impression of sunlight, you activate its energy within yourself.

Numerous experiments have proven that palming for the eyes helps:

• stop age-related changes in the visual system;
• heal myopia and farsightedness;
• heal strabismus and optic nerve atrophy;
• prevent the development of cataracts and retinal detachment.

Palming successfully fights impending glaucoma and prevents the development of astigmatism.

Palming result

The “palming” exercise for the eyes is otherwise called biophoresis, because during this procedure we influence the visual apparatus with the heat and biological energy of our own hands. In order for biophoresis for the eyes to bring the maximum positive effect, it is very important to warm up your palms before performing the exercise. You can also enhance your performance using this technique: go to the window and look at the sun, and then close your eyes and start palming - this way you will first “block” the sunlight, and then, as it were, “absorb” it into yourself.

The benefits of regularly performing the exercise “palming” or “biophoresis for the eyes” are confirmed by numerous medical studies - it has been proven that in this simple way you can slow down the natural aging of the visual apparatus and prevent the development of many pathologies: myopia, strabismus, astigmatism, retinal detachment, optic nerve atrophy, cataracts , glaucoma. If you already have vision problems, eye palming will help prevent their worsening or successfully rehabilitate after surgery.

2. Blink quickly for a minute, avoiding tension in the muscles of the eyelids and eyes.
3. Rotate your eyeballs left and right, describing large circles.
4. Look for several minutes at distant objects to the right, left, above and below.
5. Shift your gaze diagonally - first look at the right corner of the ceiling, then at the left corner of the floor. Blink quickly and move your gaze in a different direction - from left to right several times.
6. Close your eyes several times and try to look at the bridge of your nose.
7. Extend your hand in front of you and look at your fingers, and then quickly turn your attention to a distant object outside the window. Change your angle of view several times, moving it from your fingertips to the distance and back.

Palming for the eyes: how to do it

Palming for the eyes is recommended for many visual impairments, and astigmatism is only a special case. Palming perfectly relaxes tired eye muscles, relieving excess tension from them.

The duration of the exercise takes about 5 minutes; to achieve maximum results, you should use it every 1.5 hours if the work involves a computer.

Correct palming should be done as follows:

• before performing palming itself, you need to thoroughly warm up your palms, for example, by rubbing them against each other;
• cover your eyes with your palms so that they form a 90-degree angle with respect to each other, leaving your nose open - see the picture below;
• there should not be the slightest crack between the fingers, they should shield the eyes from the light, plunging them into complete darkness;
• close your eyes and relax, think about something good - maybe it’s your dream, or something that you are incredibly happy about at this moment in life, in a word, you should be spiritual and full of optimism;
• Having finished palming, do not open your eyes suddenly - first close them under your palms several times, then shake your head in all directions, lifting your hands from your face, rub your eyes with your fists and open them, then blink often.

Proper nutrition

You know how to do eye palming correctly. However, no amount of exercise will help if your eyes lack vitamins. Proper nutrition is the basis for visual health. Products that are beneficial for vision are all plants that are orange and yellow in color, as well as fresh greens. These include:

• apricots;
• pumpkin;
• carrot;
• oranges;
• tangerines.

Beetroot also brings benefits - it contains many components necessary for vision. Dried apricots or fresh apricots are a storehouse of carotene and beneficial microelements. Apricots are good at strengthening the blood vessels of the orbit, keeping the visual organ in good shape. Apricots are especially useful for those who have difficulty seeing in the twilight or darkness.

Carrots are the number one food for good vision. However, for the fruit to be beneficial, it must be eaten with the addition of vegetable/animal fat - sunflower or butter. You can season with grated carrots and sour cream/cream.

Citrus fruits prevent many diseases of the organs of vision, as they promote increased blood circulation and strengthen the immune system. You can eat the fruits or drink freshly squeezed juice.

Note! In order for the fruit juice to benefit the body, it must be squeezed immediately before use.

Greens have the exceptional property of preserving the retina from pathology and regulating intraocular pressure. Eating fresh greens daily protects your eyes from many ailments.

Animal products that are good for the eyes include:

• eggs;
• dairy products;
• fish oil and seafood;
• beef dishes.

To prevent cataracts and inflammation of the optic nerve, eat boiled eggs. These products are essential for eye health. Fried eggs are not beneficial.

Dairy products have a beneficial effect on the retina and prevent the development of cataracts. Milk also has the property of strengthening the eye muscles and providing bright and clear color perception. Any dairy products help you see well in twilight and darkness.

Beef dishes are best eaten boiled. Beef tongue is very useful for vision. The components contained in beef have a beneficial effect on blood circulation in the orbit and strengthen the eye muscles.
