Rest Your Mind to Rest Your Eyes (written for Ways To Improve Vision)
To keep your mind sharp, keep your vision sharp over the years too. The two go hand-in-hand really; what you see with your eyes, you can then remember. And, the better your vision, the better you can see the image. Wouldn't it be nice if both your mind and your eyes could remain healthy for years and years to come?
Healthy vision and the ability to focus mentally are skills that are connected. Stress and emotional pressure can limit the ability of both the eyes and the mind. So, anything that you can do to promote relaxation and peace will add to your overall health.
One way that you can test the current state of your eyes is to practice mental memory. Try covering one eye and looking quickly at an image with the uncovered eye. Next, close both eyes and keep the image in your mind as long as you can. In your mind, count how many seconds the image stays in your thoughts before you cannot see it anymore. Now switch eyes and repeat.
Another way to relax your eyes and mind is to close your eyes and only think about pictures and thoughts that make you happy. Even just closing your eyes and contemplating the darkness that you "see" can be relaxing. Open your eyes and try again. Hopefully, each time you do this exercise, you will notice an improvement and change in your state of relaxation and perhaps in you vision too.
Another relaxation exercise can be done while lying in bed. As you lie there, consider all the positive things that happened throughout the day. Recreate the scenes and the live pictures of the even in color and detail as best you can. Thinking positive thoughts before you sleep will clear your head, relax your mind and body, and will prepare you for good rest.
Improve Your Vision Naturally
Vision Without Glasses (an e-book) discusses thoroughly what causes impaired vision in people. It encourages you (the reader) to take proactive steps to improve your own eyes rather than grab onto the crutch of glasses and contacts.
Overcoming troubled vision could definitely improve your quality of life. If you currently wear glasses, consider how dependent you are on them for your day-to-day functioning. If you lose them or do not have access to them for whatever reason, you experience some frustration. Glasses cannot be considered a permanent fix, then; instead, glasses are a helpful tool.
And, contacts cannot be considered a permanent fix either. While contacts (especially hard contacts) do prevent the eyes somewhat from deteriorating further by holding the shape of the eye, they still have drawbacks. They are high maintenance, can be lost easily, and they can tear easily.
This e-book, Vision Without Glasses walks you through how to regain healthy eyesight naturally based on the well-known research and studies of Dr. Bates. Because the methods are natural, the medical world does not recognize nor the findings; but many have found through personal experience that his guide leads them to the results they ultimately want for their eyes.
Many years ago, Dr. Bates reported that excessive strain on the body, the eyes, and even on one's mental or emotional state negatively affects your vision. His studies led him to the conclusion that you must exercise your eyes just as any other important part of your body that you want to keep in shape. By exercising and relaxing your eyes systematically, over time, you can eliminate your need for glasses.
Duke Peterson's e-book Vision Without Glasses details the specific exercises that you can do to strengthen your eyes every day. By reading his e-book, you will also discover how you are perhaps unknowingly straining your eyes. Then, by following his methods, you will soon naturally improve your vision.
