Yoga to improve Eye vision
Life is nothing without the eyes. The most essential and hardworking organ, however, is also the most sensitive. Hence, humans need to take necessary actions for the proper care of their eyes. It is more important for contemporary youth who spend a significant number of hours in front of computers. It’s good to know that Yoga can be a very effective way to take proper care of your eyes effortlessly. Given below are some of the best Yoga practices for the eyes that you must try for improved vision.
Bhramri:
Bharmri is one of the finest Yoga exercises for the eyes. It is equally known for its beneficial effect on improving concentration. Only five to ten minutes of bhramri can significantly relax your eye cells, rejuvenating them in the best possible fashion. To start the pose, you need to sit in the same fashion as you do for kapalbhati, i.e. usually sitting with folded legs, and then you have to close the eyes through three of your fingers with one of the fingers closing the ear. Now make a sound, like ‘umm’, inside for a few minutes. After finishing this, you should rub the palms and apply them gently to the closed eyes. No doubt, this is a simple eye exercise to improve vision.
Anulom-Vilom:
There are many proven examples of how anulom-vilom has helped people achieve improved vision. Anulom-Vilom is a recommended Yoga for healthy eyes. To practice anulom vilom, first, usually sit (or in padmasana if comfortable) on the ground, keeping one hand in a mudra. Close your eyes and close one of your nostrils with your thumb, taking a slow breath through the other. Now close the other nostril and exhale through the one you initially inhaled. Moreover, focus entirely on your breath, observing its movement within the body, and shift your mind away from any other object or thing.
Palm rubbing:
Palm rubbing is also a beneficial Yoga practice for improving eyesight. You usually sit as you do, closing your eyes. Now rub your palms together so that they get warm. Now apply the warmth to your closed eyes and feel it.
To-and-fro viewing:
This is also a nice exercise that you can try without visiting the Yoga Centre in Rishikesh. This can be tried between work sessions. This is primarily an effective exercise for those who spend a significant amount of time in front of computers. You can shift your vision to either side, sitting in any position. However, one can achieve a better result by specifically sitting in padmasana, also known as the crossed-leg pose.
Shifting vision to the nose tip:
This is also one of the vision Yoga exercises that require no special training; neither do you need to join a Yoga TTC in Rishikesh. All you need to do is shift your vision to the tip of your nose or direct your entire concentration there. At the same time, you may start gazing at objects at a distance and closer to you as well.
