Where and how to do it? Where:
Display your chart so that you can see it well; a place with good light.
Some people display the chart so they can exercise their eyes whilst relaxing in the bath. Other people display it on toilet doors and walls, or on a bedroom wall... All these are fine.
How:
If you usually wear glasses or contact lenses, do the exercises without them.
Do the exercise in a relaxed state. Make an effort to do the exercise at least once a day to create improvements to your eyesight. But during the exercise do not use any effort do it as relaxed as you possibly can. If during the exercise you experience tension around your eyes, relax them and tell yourself, 'I relax my eyes and I experience peace.'
When you regularly exercise, as described in the using instructions on the back of the chart, you should experience improvements after 1 to 3 weeks. The improvements will continue and increase as you persist with frequent exercise.
Look at the chart about 3 to 6 feet away (about 80 cm to 160 cm) and follow the cycle as described below, resting the eyes on each section for about 20 to 30 seconds as follows:
| 1)Blue ca. 25 seconds | 3)Red ca. 25 seconds |
| 2) White/after-image ca. 25 seconds | 4)white/after-image ca. 25 seconds |
5) Repeat steps 1 to 4 about four to seven times and always finish on the blue (step 1 & 2).
Why does it work? What does it do?
The Colours:
The two colours, red and turquoise-blue, are specially chosen to give the eyes maximum exercise. Bad eyesight is often a result of looking and focusing on the same distance only (and there may be a parallel in life).
The two opposing colours on the Eye-Strengthening Chart make the eye focus on different depths although looked at from the same distance! This gives the eyes the focusing exercise in they need to be healthy.
White / After-Image:
As you look at the white (and relax!!) you will see the after-image, as a sort of glow in the complementary colour, appear in front of your eyes. This is normal and an important part of the exercise. Try to focus in a very relaxed way. Relax and stop any thoughts, so the after image stays with you for about 25 seconds, fading during that time. It disappears if you lose your relaxed focus, but will return when you make another effort to relax and focus.
This is exercising your inner senses and a very important part of Seeing.
Useful Tips and more Information:
Computers:
When you work on computer screens, your eyes focus on close-up.
A very simple trick to give them regular exercise during this time: use turquoise-blue as the highlighting colour! This allows your eyes to go ever so often into 'far-distance-mood' for a few seconds.
Avoid fluorescent-tube lighting:
This type of lighting is very unnatural. Even the inventor of this type of lighting himself stated that it should only be used in emergencies not for general lighting purposes as used today.
There are two significant shortcomings with this type of lighting:
1) The light is not permanent unlike the light from the Sun or fire. It flickers (on-off) at a rate at 100 times a second, which is mostly not noticeable to the naked eye, but does affect and tire our body systems.
2) The second shortfall is the very limited bandwidth of light. Our bodies evolved under the full spectrum of the Sun, with the food it receives from this type of light essential to the well functioning body and psyche. Fluorescent-tube lighting only supplies very narrow bandwidths of light, missing out complete chunks of the spectrum, therefore not feeding body and soul appropriately.
Many people working under this type of light report sickness and illness on a very frequent basis. Studies done with schoolchildren show clearly that the ability of children to learn and do well at school increased a dramatic 15% when not taught under this form of light, unfortunately so common today even in schools and hospitals.
Avoid this light and use full spectrum light-bulbs whenever possible. Their glass is slightly blue in colour to create an artificial light as close as economically possible to natural daylight. There are also full spectrum fluorescent tubes available, which of course are better than the standard tubes. And there are also flicker-free fittings for tubes available. These are relatively expensive but, combined with full spectrum tubes, create an excellent and healthy light in places where using light-bulbs would be too uneconomical in the long run.
For balance and well being, enjoy healthy sunlight whenever possible and sleep in as dark as possible conditions.
