The most conducive times for meditation and refreshing walks are around run-rise and sunset when refraction of sunlight heightens colour intensity and perception of the boarders of infra red and ultra violet. Shadows move noticeably heighten visual experiences before sunset and after sunrise – double the connection with textures of the natural environment. Connect to now – let thoughts evaporate.

Thanks for your comments, Christopher. When I can fit it in, I meditate in late afternoon for at least 1/2 hour (I always do this first thing in the morning), and have noticed my whole body feels refreshed from this, just like with a nap. This includes my vision.

Palming has a similar effect rarely scheduled as in a 20 minute refreshing habit. Palming and sunning are using either end of the eyes ability to accommodate to extremes. Practice has a cumulative effect Central fixing between the head lights of an approaching vehicle [in the dark]. Dramatically reduces the debilitating glare effect. The complete experience of a night walk enriches the life and knowledge of each sense. If you don’t feel safe walking at night. Pretend you have a power cut – switch off – unplug all the gadgets that have little lights. Be quiet. A relaxed vision system can see much clearer take a nap in the middle of the day colours are intensified and focusing significantly improves. In the evening the illumination of a rooms lighting appears significantly brighter. Summarizing explore the extremes of volumes of light – in a candle lit restaurant rapidly shift between the candle and the darkest section in the full field of view… blinking frequently – even a 6 second tight eye squeeze.

Thanks for reading, my friend! Seeing the darkness as exciting rather than scary has been a big shift for me. Love you!
