Mental Strain and Your Eye Health. RELAXING your Eyes.

"Could it Really be this Simple?

Amazingly the Answer is "Yes."

Your mind is the source of all stress from outside sources brought to bear upon your eye. Every thought of effort in your mind, of whatever sort, transmits a motor impulse to your eye; and every such impulse causes a deviation from the normal in the shape of the eyeball and lessens the sensitiveness of the center of sight.

If you want to have perfect vision, therefore, you must minimize stress in your mind.

Mental Strain of any kind always produces conscious or unconscious eyestrain and if the strain takes the form of an effort to see, an error of refraction is always produced.

Mental strain may produce many different kinds of eyestrain.

While there are many types of strains, there is only one cure for all of them, namely, relaxation.

The health of your eye depends upon your blood, and circulation is very largely influenced by your thoughts.

When your thoughts are normal -- that is, not attended by any excitement or strain -- the circulation in your brain is normal, the supply of blood to your optic nerve and your visual centers are normal, and your vision is perfect.

When your thoughts are abnormal your circulation is disturbed, the supply of blood to your optic nerve and visual centers is altered, and your vision lowered.

You can consciously think thoughts that disturb your circulation and lower your visual power; you can also consciously think thoughts that will restore normal circulation and thereby improve not only all errors of refraction, but many other abnormal conditions of your eyes.

You cannot by any amount of effort make yourself see, but by learning to control your thoughts you can accomplish that end indirectly.

When a disturbing thought is replaced by one that relaxes, your squint disappears, the double vision and the errors of refraction are corrected and this is as true of abnormalities of long standing as of those produced voluntarily.

No matter how long your eyes have been impaired an improvement is accomplished just as soon as you are able to secure mental control.

The cause of any error of refraction, of a squint, or of any other functional disturbance of your eye is simply a thought -- a wrong thought -- and the improvement is as quick as the thought that relaxes.

In a fraction of a second the highest degrees of refractive error may be corrected, a squint may disappear, or the blindness of amblyopia may be relieved.

If the relaxation is only momentary, the correction is momentary. When it becomes permanent, the correction is permanent.

This relaxation cannot, however, be obtained by any sort of effort. It is fundamental that you understand this; for so long as you think, consciously or unconsciously, that relief from strain may be obtained by another strain your improvement will be delayed.

That is why RELAXING your Eyes and addressing the stressors that contribute to the stress are the key to help you recover your vision.

Why Making Sound Dietary and Emotional Choices are Key Vision Enhancers

Temporary conditions may contribute to the strain to see that results in poor eyesight, but its foundation lies in wrong habits of your thought.

Very seldom is the impairment or destruction of vision due to any fault in the construction of your eye. Of two equally good pairs of eyes one will retain perfect sight to the end of life, and the other will lose it in kindergarten simply because one looks at things without effort and the other does not.

In addition to optimizing blood flow by relaxing and controlling your thoughts you can also directly improve the nutrients your central nervous system and eye receive by focusing on high quality nutrition.

Here are the dietary guidelines I follow to support eyesight:.

Eat plenty of foods containing Lutein -- spinach, broccoli, zucchini, peas,

Increase your intake of Omega-3 s -- krill oil is a great choice

Eat nutritious Raw Egg Yolks -- they contain Zeaxanthin and Lutein

Consume plenty of raw vegetables and fruits -- particularly dark berries

Avoid processed foods especially those containing trans fats"
