Sometimes people take months or years to understand what is required. I remember when I used to palm 4 hours and swing 2 hours everyday for months on end with only flashes. And the first time I ever had a long flash (5 and a 1/2 days) was when I was ill for a week and told myself I was going to take a break from vision improvement. What I understood from this was that I cant reach out and get my vision but it has to come to me. And so my palming and swinging was done in a desperate attemtpt to get clear vision. And that running to it is infact running away from it, and if I stop running it will eventually catch up to me. I am far from perfect but I think I understand a little of what is required.

The type of relaxation required is a sparkling and vibrant type, not of laziness I previously thought. Imagine a person who climbed to the peak of a mountain, how would he feel at the top? or a person who has written the last page of their book. This type of relaxation causes mental peace and relaxes all the muscles of the body.

Try to reduce or stop whatever is making you mentally reach out and grab your vision. And re-do things in a new way with this New type of vibrant relaxation. And then now you can realize what is bringing you closer or further away from vision improvement. An easy small step I do, is when I go to sleep I consciously relax all my muscles and let everything sink in and feel happy for a few minutes. This way you have 8 hours of a more relaxed body and mind as you sleep. And you will likely have nice vision and relaxed body upon awaking, and this will give a good start to any day. When the whole body is relaxed, flashes naturally come to you and they are more frequent and more lasting.
