The Easiest Vision Exercise To Improve Eyesight

Are you aware that your eyes are merely windows through which light rays in your surrounding environment passes through from? Technically, they do not "see". They merely encode those light rays and that signal is then transferred to your brain.

It's your brain that then decodes that signal and convert into the images you perceive. Thus when you think about it, it is your brain that "sees". Though many may not agree, I truly believe that to improve your eyesight, it is not your eyes that need fixing (although it could be helpful) but your brain.

Fortunately, recent scientific studies have shown that what your thoughts affect your brain just as much as your action. It is thus my sincere belief that visualizations and forming good visual habits can improve your eyesight naturally.

In this article, I'll introduce you to just one eye exercise that you can implement to improve your eyesight. I have intentionally chose a simple one because I want to encourage you to try it. With that said, let's get started.

The eye exercise that I'll introduce you to is called palming. Palming is so simple, some people question its effectiveness. But it is, in my opinion, one of the most crucial eye exercises.

To palm, sit down on a comfortable chair and place your elbow on a table. Close your eyes and place your left palm on your left eye lid and your right palm on your right eye lid. Your left set of fingers should be crossing your right set of fingers.

Be careful not to press on your eyes during palming. The point of the palm is to block out all light from reaching your eyes - and thus your brain. By blocking out light from reaching your eyes, you're essentially allowing your brain to focus on what you're going to do during palming - visualization. Thus it is beneficial that you find a quiet place to palm.

When you palm, simply visualize a relaxing scenery. This can be anything you want, be it a range of majestic mountains, a field of soft green grass, a bed of beautiful flowers or for me, it's a quiet stretch of white sandy beach.

In your visualization, imagine that you could see clearly without glasses. This is crucial because whatever you think, do affect you physically. For example, a study has been done on how imaginations affect muscle growth.

The researchers, Drs Guang Yue and Kelly Cole, found that subjects who imagined performing finger exercises were ale to strengthen their finger muscle strength by 22%. Other cases include people with multiple personalities. In the first personality, he was extremely myopic yet in the other, he enjoys perfect vision.

It is all in his mind. Thus when you palm, it is important that you visualize you can see clearly. If you discover that imagining seeing clearly without glasses is challenging, you're not alone - it's a normal effect of prolonged use of glasses.

There have been studies done on how people who aren't able to walk find it more difficult to imagine walking than people who are able to do so. This is because the neurons (brain cells) responsible for walking and the neurons responsible for imagining walking are the same ones.

Thus if you find one difficult, you'll find the other difficult too.

In fact, I have a few students who said they have a complete lack of visual imagination. Rest assured that practice makes perfect. If you set aside a short period of time every day to practice visualizing, I have no doubt that you too will improve your eyesight.
