Self-massage for better eyesight
We need to make self-massage a
part of our daily self-care for the eyes. It's especially helpful about midway
through your eye exercise session - results arc much better in the second
half of the session after the massage. Massage reduces visual stress, creates a
sense of ease about seeing, and increases
circulation to the eyes. It helps you break the bad habits of squinting
and frowning when you look at details. For better vision, try to get least 30
minutes of massage to the face alone. Some general guidelines: Glasses and
contacts lenses should be removed. Throughout the massage, breathe deeply and
slowly in and out through your nose. Use both
hands. Begin by rubbing the hands together to warm the fingers. Make sure the wrists remain loose. During massage, your touch
should be light, but visualize that the fingers are penetrating deeply.
Stroking along the
eyebrow ridge
Close your eyes, breathe deeply
and slowly, and relax. Stroke gently with your fingertips across
the eyebrows, starting at the bridge of the nose and working outward toward, but not on, the temples. As you stroke, stretch
the skin and underlying muscle very lightly. As you return to this
stroking from time to time throughout your
massage to the face, gradually increase the amount of stretch. Perform at least
20 strokes above the eyebrows and 20 on them, avoiding going below the
eyebrow ridge.
Finding and relieving
the sore spots
As you massage, feel
for the grooves in the eyebrows. Find
the sore spots. Muscular tension will feel like hard spots under your fingers -
they may feel stringy or fibrous. Massage the sore
spots, making small circles with your
fingertips. Sore spots are often found in the eyebrow area when there is
eyestrain related to myopia, glaucoma, or
retinal problems; they tend to occur above
the bridge of the nose when one eye is dominant.
Massaging the temples
With your eyes closed, stroke your temples very
gently to loosen the muscles there. Then, make big circles with your fingertips
on your temples.
Skinrolling on the
forehead
Pinch a layer of skin
and underlying muscle on your forehead and
roll it along. Work outward from the midline,
then upward from the eyebrow ridge to
the scalp. Vary this at times, by
skinrolling with one hand while tapping with the other on the skin that
is being pulled tight.
Massaging the cheekbone area
Stroke
all the way along your cheekbones from nose to ears. Feel the muscles in the
area loosening under your fingers. Again, feel for grooves you'll find more of them towards
the cars. Massage the sore spots, making circular movements with
your fingertips and applying a little more pressure.
