Certain mudras can improve our eyesight as well as control or prevent eye diseases, says Abhay Kumar Shah
The eye is a very delicate organ of our body, probably the most delicate. Special protection is provided to it by nature: it is encased in the bony cavity of our skull and the eyelids protect it from dust, smoke, wind, and harsh light. The eyes are the antennas that receive most of the information that this world generates. They are the bridge between us and the world—the most powerful instruments of non-verbal communication. Besides, over the ages, they have inspired poets to write countless poems on them in every language, in every corner of the world.
And yet, we are so careless about keeping our eyes healthy! In the digital age, we are abusing our eyes more than ever. In my childhood, my grandfather always used to create obstacles before permitting us to watch cinema, saying that it will damage our eyes. But now? If not every moment, we are spending almost half of our days with our eyes glued to either mobile phone or computer screens, without providing our eyes with any protection or proper care.
So read on to learn how we can protect our eyes and keep them healthy.
• Eyestrain
Continuously using our eyes while working, without giving them a rest, can cause a lot of stress on the muscles of the eyes. Relax them with the help of the following mudras:
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes a day
Varun Mudra: 16 minutes a day
Samaan Mudra: Form the mudra and place it on the closed eyes, resting your elbows on a table of matching height. Count to at least 500.
• Retinal degeneration
It is a very serious issue of the eyes. Mudras can help us a lot in this regard.
Jnana Mudra: 16 minutes, four to five times a day
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes, thrice a day
Samaan Mudra: Place the mudra on the closed eyes for a count of 500.
• Dry eyes
Watching electronic screens intently for long periods makes the eyes dry. Blinking after every minute or two can help immensely in this matter.
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes a day
Varun Mudra: 16 minutes a day
This combination of mudras certainly reduces the dryness of our eyes.
• Cataract
After a certain age (and at an early age due to some other reasons), people develop cataracts in the eyes. Though nowadays, the surgical procedure is of very low risk and less invasive, one can take precautionary measures. After the age of 45 or 50, if one starts practicing mudras for years together, this ailment can be avoided.
Surya Mudra: 30 minutes, at least twice a day
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes, at least twice a day
• Glaucoma
This disease can potentially lead to blindness. Sometimes, one gets diagnosed with glaucoma when it’s too late. Therefore, one should take care with the help of the following mudras:
Jal Shaamak Mudra: 16 minutes, twice or thrice a day
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes, thrice a day
• Myopia and Hyperopia
Children diagnosed with defective vision who are advised to wear glasses of minus or plus index can arrest further deterioration of their eyesight with the following mudras which show good results in the early stages:
Jnana Mudra: 16 minutes, thrice a day
Prana Mudra: 16 minutes, thrice a day
Samaan Mudra: For a count of 500 as described earlier
Along with Mudra Therapy, washing or giving a water bath to our eyes frequently; deliberate blinking of the eyes; eating foods containing Vitamin A; giving proper rest to the eyes; avoiding the use of mobile phones in low light; and consuming an equal mixture of the powders of rock sugar, almonds, and fennel seeds (saunf), one tablespoon with milk before sleep, can help a lot in keeping our eyes healthy.
