Eyes are the windows of your soul. It is through your eyes that you see the world and its one of god’s greatest blessings along with the other five senses. There are several age-old practices to keep your eyes healthy for a long time. In ancient times there were no glasses and contact lenses. A simple kriya mentioned below might help solve this mystery.
Eye Exercise 1: Sit in vajra asana by folding your knees behind and sit on your legs. You can choose any other comfortable position too, if this is difficult but keep your back straight.
Keep a diya at a distance of two feet at the eye level. Light it with cow ghee.
Stare at the lit diya, at the bluish centre of the flame with a steady gaze. Continue gazing, even if the eyes start watering. Do it for about 10 minutes in the beginning, slowly increase the duration till whatever time you are comfortable.
Then slowly get up and fill your mouth with water. While keeping this water in your mouth wash your eyes with tap water. Then spit the water out. This water will be warm because heat gets released from the body. Do this at least twice or till the water temperature gets normal. This is a must after tratak.
Daily practice of this not only improves eyesight but makes your eyes lustrous and attractive.
Eye Exercise 2:Followed by sanatan kriya, the practice opens up etheric channels called nadis in the subtle body and generates intuitive abilities in the practitioner. Combined with chakra santulan pranayam, it endows one with improved eyesight and increased concentration. Along with this kriya, you can add walking with bare feet on grass to your daily routine. Do this early in the morning or around sunset, especially those people who often wear restrictive footwear. Since there are reflex connections between the soles of your feet and your visual areas of brain, such a walk is not only relaxing but also has a beneficial effect on your eyes.
