Exercise 1 — Palming

This exercise is beneficial in so many ways that it should be the foundation for your eye workout, and the exercise you do even when there's time for nothing else. Palming can

Promote relaxation and smooth eye movements.
•Develop central fixation — the ability of the eyes to see one point best.
•Develop greater control of the focusing mechanisms of your eyes.
•Isolate eye muscle movement from head movement.
•Reduce muscular strain and tension in your eyes, neck and head.
•Relax tired or strained eyes and restore peace and quiet to your mind.
Listen to the radio if you wish, or just allow the mind to wander, keeping it away from anything unpleasant. If stressful thoughts intrude, push them aside to be dealt with later. Find a comfortable position and choose a time when you can exercise without being interrupted.

•Briskly rub your hands and palms together until they feel warm (15 - 20 seconds).
•Place your cupped palms over your closed eyes. The fingers of each hand should overlap and rest on the center of your forehead.
•Make sure there is no contact between your palms and your closed eyelids.
•Also make sure there is enough room between your palms (as they cup your eyes) so that you can breathe easily.
•Don't create any unnecessary pressure on your face.
•If your arms get tired, try resting your elbows on your thighs or on a table.
When you first close your eyes, you may see sparks, dots of light, and color patterns, all of which are signs of strain and tension. When the picture "fades to black" and the sparks disappear, you'll know that your eyes are relaxing. The more relaxed they become the "deeper" the blackness will appear to be.

Remain with the eyes shut for several minutes. The exact period that suits you best has to be found by trial and error; five minutes is about right, and four should be regarded as a minimum. It can be difficult to judge the passage of time, and some such device as a non-ticking cook's timer, or one of those electronic watches or pocket calculators which incorporate an alarm, is very useful.
