Your Eyes: Some Interesting Facts About Your Eyes

Your eyesight is crucial and one of the most important organs in your body.  Most people are always concerned about their health but don’t really understand how the body functions as a whole.  The older I get, the more important I know my health is so I was doing some research on the computer and found some interesting facts about your eyes that I would like to share.

Your eyes:

*  Are the most complex organs you possess except for your brain.

*  Are composed of more than two million working parts.

*  Can process 36,000 bits of information every hour.

*  Under the right conditions, can discern the light of a candle at a distance of 14 miles.

*  Contribute towards 85% of your total knowledge.

*  Utilize 65% of all the pathways to the brain.

*  Can instantaneously set in motion hundreds of muscles and organs in your body.

*  In a normal life-span, will bring you almost 24 million images of the world around you.

*  The external muscles that move the eyes are the strongest muscles in the human body for the job that they have to do. They are 100 times more powerful than they need to be.

*  The adult eyeball measures about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Of its total surface area only one-sixth is exposed — the front portion.

*  The eye is the only part of the human body that can function at 100% ability at any moment, day or night, without rest. Your eyelids need rest, the external muscles of your eyes need rest, the lubrication of your eyes requires replenishment, but your eyes themselves “never” need rest. But please rest them!

*  Eyes are your most precious sense… care for them properly!

Your eyesight is just as important as any other organ in your body.  Care for them properly and they will always remain in good health.  Those are just a few of some interesting facts about your eyes.

How to Improve Your Eyesight Naturally: The Art of Palming

There are various methods and techniques to help improve your eyesight naturally.  Our poor eyesight exists because of our own bad habits.  You see much better when your eyes, mind and body are all relaxed.  The eyes need just as much care as the other organs in our body.  

Palming is an excellent way to help the eyes relax naturally.  Were you aware that even when you are sleeping, your eyes are in constant motion!  This is how they are able to stay lubricated with the constant movement.  It’s actually not possible to completely stop the eyes from moving, but we can learn to slow down their motion and help them relax.

Your eyes won’t be able to relax until you first relax your mind.  When your mind is constantly on the move thinking of all sorts of things, your eyes will strain in order to keep up.  The palming method helps relax the mind and the eyes both at the same time.  This method is very simple and takes less than 20 minutes.  However, you can practice this method as long you need to.

The first step is to take off your glasses and get into a comfortable sitting position.  You will want to rub your hands together for a few seconds to warm them up.  Next you will want to close your eyes and cover them with your hands by placing one palm over each eye.  Be sure that you aren’t directly touching the eyes or putting any type of pressure on the eyelids.  Your fingers need to cross on your forehead and your elbows should rest on a table or your knees.

Now that you are in this position you will want to fully relax.  You can do this by first tensing all muscles from your head down to your toes and then release them and relax completely.  The more relaxed you are, the blacker things will be.  After doing this you might experience some grayish colors at first but they will eventually become a darker shade of black.  Your inner rest is measured by the degree of darkness.

Enjoy this rest for at least 15 minutes, more if you prefer.  Now and then let your mind focus on pleasant things such as trees blowing in the wind or the ocean waves crashing on the shore.  Try to forget all about things that you need to do.  Just clear your mind of any unpleasant thoughts.

When you open your eyes, they will see a little better than they did before.  Colors and shapes will be much more defined.  This is the art of palming.  By practicing this method often, you can make this relaxed state of mind and body a pleasant habit and improve your vision permanently.
