Tired eyes? Here’s a little remedy…
It’s no wonder our eyes get tired, from the moment we wake until the time our heads hit the pillow, our eyes don’t stop working for us. Reading, working all day on a computer, and bright day light all take their toll. Your eyes take a lot of strain, and can ache, water and at times even develop a constant twitch!
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of tired eyes, try this little remedy.
Either sitting comfortably with the legs crossed and the spine straight, or lying down:
- close your eyes
- hold your hands up in front of your face, fingers pointing up and palms towards you
- now place each palm over each eye so the eye sockets are covered (careful not to squeeze the nose, breathing is important!)
- if possible, the eye lid should gently touch the middle of the palm (make sure its just a light touch, no pressure at all on the eye)
- Sit for 5 minutes or longer if you can. The shoulders may start to hurt after a while, just gently move them around to relieve them.
The theory behind this is that the eyes radiate a thin, strong stream of energy outward. The palms redirect that energy back into the eyes, so refreshing!
Start observing the sensation around the eyes. You will start noticing some heat building up. As the heat builds up, the muscles around the eye sockets will start to relax. As they relax, tension will start releasing – nice huh?
Another beautiful benefit is that the energy is also directed back at the heart chakra, opening up the heart. So don’t be surprised if you move through the rest of your day with feelings of compassion towards every one you come across, and they will no doubt reflect those amazing feelings back towards you!
Enjoy

Thank you for posting so many great articles about Yoga. I started doing Yoga about 3 years ago, and now that I’m pregnant, (our first baby is due in June) my Pre-natal Yoga class is one of the highlights of my week. I don’t know if you’re looking for other sites that really do a good job with nutrition and fitness, or if you will consider this stepping on toes. If I’m stepping on toes, sorry, you can just delete the comment, but if you’re open to suggestions- -My husband and I are really happy with the program we’re using through http://www.reallifeforhealth.com. Their system is really easy to use and it does everything. They have 1000′s of different recipes to choose from and they help you build a fitness and nutrition plan that suits your goals. For the nutrition part they even send you printable daily meal plans and menus, as well as printable daily or weekly grocery lists, which are broken down by the area of the grocery store or supermarket. I like that all the recipes contain 12 ingredients or less, so they are easy enough for even my hubby to cook. And I like that there’s no fad diets, pills, or required supplements. Their exercises are all made by a certified personal trainer and come with printable workout cards and details of how the exercises are done. If I’m not stepping on any toes, I suggest you check them out. They offer a free trial anyway, so there’s harm in trying.

Simply think that if you don’t know about Yoga and on the other hand I know a little bit about yoga than I can simply show you what little I know. We will do this by sharing our knowledge and if simple that if you know more about yoga than you are also a yoga teacher. When we give training for Yoga Teachers at our place than it’s totally with complete focus on you without any type of disturbance and daily distractions. If you are deeply interested in yoga than this is a great way to learn how to become a Yoga teacher.

our eyes are very sensitive organ of the body.. In today’s stressful life, eyes get tired very easily because of over work . therefore eyes required sufficient amount of relaxation. the technique explained by you serves the purpose well..
Thank you for the valuable information.
