Palming is one of the best exercise which is taught in yoga. Place your palms over your closed eyes, letting the fingers cross over at the forehead. Slightly cup your palms such that you are not pressingon the eyeballs. Feel the warmth of the hands radiate and diffuse gently into your eyeballs. Think of the most peaceful scene that you can imagine. Relax... A few things to note * Do not press against the eyeballs with your palms. This will put pressure on the blood vessels in the eyeballs and reduce circulation of blood and nutrients. * Make sure that as much light as possible is blocked out by the palms. The exact position of the palms is up to the individual. Crossing the fingers at the forehead usually helps. * Put yourself in a comfortable and proper posture e.g. don't slouch * Remember to keep your eyes closed, behind the palms. * And keep your hands clean, otherwise there will be the attack of the pimples! Sunning: Close your eyes and face the sun directly. Slowly move your head left and right to let the sunshine reach every part of your retina. Notice the sun moving in the opposite direction. Breathe deeply and slowly. After this, you can do a variation. Imagine that your eyes shoot laser beams. Using your "eye lasers", trace around the edge of the sun. First do in a clockwise direction, then change direction. After sunning, finish up the session by palming for about 2 minutes.

Blueberries. For decades we have heard anecdotal information on how blueberries help aid eyesight. Royal Air Force (RAF) bomber pilots in World War II were reported to consume blueberries to help night vision. Other studies in Israel and Eastern Europe have confirmed that blueberries help eyesight. But, a recent study in Japan has scientifically documented the benefits of blueberries to help reduce eyestrain. All over Japan, consumers buy small vials of blueberry juice to obtain the benefits. An editorial cartoon was published in the Asahi Shibun, the leading newspaper in Japan encouraging blueberry use by office workers. The Japan study showed that blueberry consumption reduced eyestrain and improved weak eyesight. Most believe that the substance, anthocyanin in the blue pigment of the blueberry is responsible for the eyesight improvement. http://www.blueberry.org/norway/health.htm
