An eye exercise for GLAUCOMA, EYE STRAIN. FLOATERS, and MACULAR DEGENERATION
Box breathing is a type of controlled breathing technique that is used for stress relief and relaxation.
It involves inhaling for a count of four seconds, holding your breath for a count of four seconds, exhaling for a count of four seconds, and then holding your breath for a final count of four seconds before starting the process again.
This simple but effective technique helps to regulate breathing and calm the nervous system, leading to improved focus and reduced stress and anxiety.
Eye palming and box breathing can be combined to create a relaxing and grounding experience.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your back straight and eyes closed.
2. Rub your palms together to generate heat.
3. Place the palms of your hands over your eyes, covering them completely, and apply gentle pressure to your eye socket bones, not eyes themselves.
4. Begin the box breathing technique by inhaling deeply for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, exhale for four seconds, and then hold your breath again for four seconds.
5. Repeat the box breathing cycle for as long as you feel comfortable, focusing on the sensations in your body as you breathe.
6. When you’re ready to finish, gently remove your hands from your eyes, take a deep breath, and open your eyes.
This simple exercise can help you to reduce stress and anxiety and improve your visual comfort, focus, and relaxation.
Regular practice can lead to long-term benefits, including better sleep and improved mental clarity.
