It might seem that the sound of a link is broken while trying unsuccessfully to tie the legs like a pretzel. Instead
means "gaze", and it is practiced just staring at one point, an object or a candle flame, and is a very effective technique that the ancient wisdom of Yoga has given us the ability to help us improve concentration , increasing our mental stability. For fans of chakra, develops the potential of the so-called third eye.
Among other things, it is useful to improve the small visual defects (strengthens the optic nerve and the muscles that control eye movements, cleans and lubricates the tear ducts preventing conjunctivitis and friends).
Want to try?
1. Keep breathing! Because when we fix our gaze on the dot (which is the PC screen, or on the highway we are driving ...) tend to shorten a lot of breathing, which reduces oxygenation of all our fabrics, muscoletti Eye included. So, if we are not careful, we risk at the end of practice as we tired eyes after driving from Venice to Barcelona without stopping.
2. Remove contact lenses, if we use it. Fix your eyes blink without the "dry" too much and does not make sense to finish the eye in order to remedy a practice which should, however, help us to improve the view.
3. When the practice itself is complete, still with eyes closed, place your palms hands on the eyelids ( palm), but without crushing them by creating a comfortable space in which the dark eyes, after the effort of concentration, you can rest for a few minutes (minutes, not seconds!).
Ready?
sit down comfortably, the important thing is that your back is properly stretched.
We have a card with a simple drawing to a close to the eyes that makes it possible to see the good side dishes, and who wears glasses can remove them, since this is (also) one of the yoga exercises for the eyes.
The card should be supported so as to be visible and at the height of the face: in fact, so we can be sure we have the well-stretched neck. close our eyes and do some breathing techniques to begin to "break away" from the outside
When we feel ready, open your eyes and look carefully contormi the figure on the card . Then we choose the central point, which in the case of the design that I reproduced here is the center of the circle, and let us direct our gaze, keeping pulille and eyelids still.
remember to breathe ...
When the eyes begin to water, we remain focused on eyelids open a little longer: here we are "cleaning up" the tear ducts.
Before meeting fatigue, close our eyes and rilassiamoli.
It Does Not here!
Now comes the fun part: we will make sure the image is formed behind the closed eyelids: it is the impression, as a negative, the figure stamped on the retina.
Keep this defined and vivid image for as long as possible: the secret here is to keep breathing.
Each time the image fades, changes or moves, the breath helps us to see her again.
When the image disappears completely, do a few minutes of palming (paragraph 3 of the original recommendations). After several weeks of constant practice, try the flame of a candle and tell me how it went .
