Thread: Tips on Relaxing?
Post: Re: Tips on Relaxing?

I'd split all Bates techniques in two groups: "procedures" and "balancers". The procedures are routines you do from time to time, several times a day. They are like first aid when you find yourself b...

Yes, to some degree. People think about refractive errors as pure optical effects, but in fact, big part of them is due to imagination out of control, i.e. illusions of imperfect sight. One example...

Another thought. When seeing, the mind acts both as sender of control impulses to the eye muscles, and as receiver of visual signals. There are many kinds of strain, and in particular those strains th...

No, you haven't identified your strain. All these talks about "causes of strain" are just idle musing. They are of no practical importance. To really identity your strain(s), you need to learn to pr...
