Read MoreBox breathing with a groove helps relax and balance the eyes and the whole body.
Experience the body-wide melt that comes with letting the eyes sink deeply into the optical cortex while “prayer-hand” movements coordinate with the eyes.
Allow images to register deep in your optical cortex. By relaxing deeply, our heavy eyes receive the world from a place of balance and grounding.
The body is wired to follow the eyes. Shifting the tongue subtly tips the head, spine and pelvis. Synch the tongue and eyes for surprising shifts in balance, momentum and focus.
An internal anatomy lesson, using your tongue as a pointer, to locate the eyes from inside. Seek the subtle connections from the tongue, a “rudder” for the spine, and the body’s natural reaction to follow the eyes. Relax deeply as the orbs of your eyes learn to consciously float in their protective eye-socket caves.
Don an eye patch and sway side to side - and expand your peripheral vision. Focus on a point while your body moves around your eyes. Then close your eyes, imagine that point and match your imagination to reality. With practice, reality and imagination merge as your dominant and non-dominant eyes learn to better coordinate.
Imagine a beam of light from your eyes to your hands, and use that image to test your close range focus. This lesson calls on imagination and relaxation to learn more about what your eyes are really doing.
Lie on the floor and let your eyes wander side to side, far up and down, for a deeply relaxing session that also gently works the muscles around the eyes.
The series grand finale goes from floor to feet, with practical applications for walking, standing, and (so timely for this week’s massive blizzard) skiing.
