Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.

– The Bhagwad Gita

Yoga is an ancient practice of staying healthy, which has been widely accepted all over the world. If practiced in the rightful manner, it has proven to cure the intricate medical conditions for which even science have not been able to find a cure as of now.

You will be amazed to know that there are many yoga poses that can help a person to get better eyesight naturally. In fact, medical sciences have proven that there are many eye disorders which are related to the malfunctioning of the ocular muscles. These are caused by chronic mental and emotional tensions, and practicing yoga techniques can help the person get rid of these conditions.

In this post we are going to talk about some of the ways in which yoga and other simple practices that you can carry out at home can help you get better eyesight naturally. So let us take a look at them –

Practice Blinking

While it might sound something obvious that we all do, according to yoga controlled blinking can improve the vision of a person to quite a large extent. Here is a look at how to do it –

– Sit in a comfortable position with your eyes wide open.
– Blink quickly for around ten times.
– Close the eyes for approximately twenty seconds to take your attention towards your breathing now.
– Repeat the same exercise five times daily.

Controlled Viewing

The second we are going to talk about here is controlled viewing. Here is how to practice it –

– Keep your legs straight in front of the body.
– Place the left fist on the left knee with thumb pointing upwards.
– Look at the point straight, which is in front level with the eyes.
– Don’t move your head.
– Breathe out focusing the eyes on the thumb and breath in with focus on the eyes at the point in front, in level with the eyes.
– Close the eyes and rest for a while.

Near and distant viewing

The last tip that we have for you to improve your vision involves practicing viewing from close and far. Here is how it works –

– Sit by an open widow, with a clear vision of the sky keeping arms by your side.
– Focus on the tip of your nose for approximately 10 seconds.
– Repeat for at least 10-15 times, while observing your breathing pattern.
– Close the eyes, and inhale while close viewing and exhale while distant viewing.

That’s about it!

These tips might sound a bit too easy, and you might wonder how they are going to help you with improving your vision. But keep in mind that they are yoga practices, which have been proven to bring great results for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Try them out, and you will observe the changes in a matter of days.
