Seeing is believing

In life, nothing happens by chance. Such was the case with the spell of dizziness I excruciatingly experienced in November last year.
After undergoing the usual chart reading routine, to my dismay, I was advised to wear eyeglasses. Already reeling from the discomfort of using reading eyeglasses, I shuddered at the thought of having to wear another pair of eyeglasses.
For vanity’s sake, I opted for contact lenses, but believe it or not, it took me a good 45 minutes to put them on myself, leaving my eyelids and eyebrows all red and bruised. The kind owner of the optical shop good-naturedly offered her help when she learned about my predicament.
So, during my first week of wearing contact lenses, I went to the optical shop every day, where someone put them on me. The following week, I tried my best to do it on my own. However, as it was taking up so much of my precious time, I gave up trying.
My househelp, who was always with me in the optical clinic, came to my rescue. Putting my contact lenses became a daily morning ritual – or was it ordeal?– for both of us – depending on the speed with which it was done. Sometimes, it was over in a jiffy; at other times, there would be six frustrating attempts.
Not used to depending on someone for something as vital as my eyesight, and with my sense of helplessness starting to creep in, I vowed to do something about the situation.
Like a ray of morning sunlight, the ad of Jelly Virata about restoring eyesight the natural way just surfaced. Wholeheartedly convinced during the orientation about Jelly’s way, I gave it a try. And was I gratefully happy I did!
The amazingly simple, practical techniques, tips and exercises discussed on the first day of the seven-week personalized seminar further convinced me. Challenged, I discarded my distance eyeglasses and resolved never to use them again!
After the second session and strictly following what was taught, I took another giant leap. I went back to the optical shop and had the lenses of my eyeglasses downgraded. From a high grade of 375, I now use a 200-grade reading glasses.
The distance eyeglasses were totally eliminated. Though rather slow, I can now read without eyeglasses under natural light. Achieving normal vision by year-end is my self-avowed goal.
Like a child enjoying a new toy, I eagerly looked forward to the two-and-a-half-hour session as the exercises considerably relaxed my eyes. And as my eyes got relaxed, so did my whole being.
These exercises are really basic and simple, but when done consistently and correctly can improve our eyesight, if not restore it to normal. You may want to try some of them:
• Shifting: Our eyes must shift from one object to another, from a small to bigger space. The wider and farther our eyes can orbit around, the better. Avoid staring; it is detrimental to the eyes.
• Breathing from your abdomen: It is the proper way of breathing as it relaxes the entire body and as the body gets relaxed, so do our eyeballs.
• Blinking as soft as the wings of a butterfly: Done every two-three seconds, this washes out the toxins that have accumulated in our eyes. Notice that when this is done regularly, the eyes get watery, which is a good sign that the eyes are being purified of unwanted toxins.
Make reading easy without blur, strain or fatigue. Increase mental clarity at work and leisure. Restore your eyes’ three-dimensional vision and regain proper depth and spatial perceptions. Increase concentration and memory in all activities. Develop one’s creative imagination and capacity for colorful expression while balancing right and left hemispheres. Initiate positive character changes by safeguarding one’s mental, emotional and physical health through natural eyesight training. Enjoy looking at the marvelous beauty of the world around you – the natural way.
