  • 4.16 eyes doorways to soul

    Eyes Doorways to Soul 16

    In Taoism, we regard the eyes as the doorways to the soul as well as the opening of the liver. (Fig. 4.16)

    When rubbing near the corners of the eyes, do not rub too hard, because you can make the corners of the eyes drop down. Con­tinue rubbing the corners of the eyes upward.

    Bring Chi Energy to the Hands and Eyes.

    Repeat the procedure for bringing energy to the hands by inhaling; holding the breath; and contracting the sexual organ, buttocks and middle of the anus and both the left and right sides of the anus. Direct the Chi to both eyes. Rub the hands, clench the teeth, place the tongue on the roof of your mouth. Direct the energy to the face and then the hands. When your hands are hot, focus on your eyes until you feel them filled with energy.

  • 4.17 eyeballs gentle massage

    Massage For the Eyeballs and Surrounding Area 17

    For the Eyeballs and Surrounding Area

    Close your eyes. Use your fingertips to gently massage your eye­balls through your closed eyelids, six to nine times clockwise, then six to nine times counterclockwise. Then gently massage the area around the lids the same number of times. (Fig. 4.17) Be aware of painful spots and massage those places until the pain goes away. Pay special attention to the inner and outer corners of the eyes. These are points of the gall bladder meridian and will relieve eye ailments if massaged.

  • 4.18 pull up the eyelids

    Massage Pull up the Eyelids 18

    Pull up the Eyelids

    Pulling up the eyelids will increase the fluid. Use the thumb and index finger to pinch, pull up and release the eyelids six to nine times. (Fig. 4.18)

  • 4.19 eye sockets massage

    Massage For the Eye Sockets 19

    For the Eye Sockets

    Bend your index fingers and use the lower section (second pha­lanx) of each thumb to rub the upper and lower bones of the eye sockets six to nine times. (Fig. 4.19)

  • 4.20 & 4.21 getting tear out & energy into eyes

    Stare For getting a Tear out 21

    For getting a Tear out

    Hold an index finger up about eight inches from the eyes, or put a dot on the wall five or six feet away from you. Stare at it intently without blinking your eyes until you feel like a fire is burning in them. (Fig. 4.20) The Taoists believe that the toxins will burn out of the body through the eyes. They will begin to tear. Do this to strengthen your eyes. Then, rub your hands until warm; close your eyes and cover your eye sockets with your palms. Feel the Chi from the hands absorbed into the eyes. (Fig. 4.21) Rotate your eyes six to nine times, first in a clockwise direction, then counterclockwise.

     

  • 4.22 eyes connect with senses and brain

    Pull in the Eyeballs 22

    Pull in the Eyeballs

    The eyes are divided into five parts. Each part is closely connected with the organs and nerves. (Fig. 4.22) Become aware of the eyes. (Fig. 4.23)

    4.23 awareness of eyes

    Pulling and pressing the eyeballs will exercise the organs, sense, glands and the brain. (Fig. 4.24) This is also the best exercise for the eye muscles. The eyes have many muscles which we do not exercise very much and, thus, they become weak, contributing to poor eyesight.

    4.24 moving the eyes

     

    1. With the eyes still closed and cupped by the palms, inhale, contract the anus and sexual organ, and pull the eyeballs back into the sockets.
    2. Contract the middle of the anus and the middles of the eye­balls.
    3. Contract the front of the anus and the tops of the eyeballs.
    4. Contract the back of the anus and the bottoms of the eye­balls.
    5. Contract the right side of the anus and the right sides of the eyeballs.
    6. Contract the left side of the anus and the left sides of the eyeballs. This exercise not only strengthens the eyes but also the pituitary and pineal glands and the inner ear including the ear drum and canals. When you pull the eyeballs in and upward and look toward the crown, you are exercising the upper muscles and stimu­lating the pituitary gland and pineal gland.

    When you contract and pull in the middle of your eyeballs, you are exercising the back of the eye muscles and the inner ear.

    When pulling in the outer corners of the eyes, you are strength­ening the side eye muscles as well as the ear canals end the ear drums.

    When pulling in the inner corners of the eyes, you are strength­ening the inner side muscles, the tear ducts and the nose.

    When pulling in the lower parts of the eyes, you are pressing the lower part of the ear canals and the nervous system.

     

  • 4.15 eyes windows of spirit

    The eyes are the windows of the spirit 15

    The eyes are the windows of the spirit. (Fig. 4.15) In Taoism we regard the eyes as Yang energy which will guide all Chi flow in the body. The eyes can greatly affect your personality Some people are born with a lot of white in their eyes–three portions of white to one portion of iris–sometimes called “thief eyes” or “danger attack eyes.” Such eyes can result in a suspicious look, portending un­pleasant things. Through the exercises, you can gradually correct the white portion of the eyes.

    Since the eyes are connected to the entire nervous system, they have a special importance. The eyes reveal the health of your entire body. Through the eyes we can tell which organs are weak and/or toxic. Massaging the eyes will remove stress from the vital organs. Nowadays people use their eyes much more than in the past to read, watch television, and work with computers, electron­ics and microscopes. This strains them a great deal and makes the openings of the organs loose, so that much of the organ en­ergy is drained out.

     

Clean Out the Eyes

Of all the senses’ exercises, the eye exercises are very important.

Daily maintenance is the best prevention. Many times  much attention to the things that are close to us, like the water and air or our faces and eyes.

Many people wash their faces, but seldom wash their eyes. When working outside all day, very small particles of dust and all kinds of fiber get into the eyes and clot the tear ducts. Be sure to massage the tear ducts.

Wash the eyes with cool, clean or boiled water. Use a bowl in which you can immerse your face.

Open your eyes and move the eyes around. Get all the dirt and particles out. (Fig. 8.14) This will also help you remain more awake.
