Eye tips

Because eye issues can cause neck strain, a few tips are included in the course.

Tip for vision  & neurological learning conditions:

When reading from a book, place a colored overlay on page, this reduces eye strain & helps to keep words in place.  The colour also changes the learning environment which reduces stress. For ex: a blue sky overlay makes you feel like your out on a nice day, a grass green one makes you feel like your at the park or golf course. An aqua one at the pool, yellow one is similar to fog glasses.

Tips from the book the Brains Way of Healing by Dr. Doidge:

Imagine the colour blue / black like midnight, while lying on your back with knees bent.

Then palm your eyes. Doing this relaxes the eyes.

Do eye clock move, look up/down 12 to 6, side to side 9 to 3 at all numbers counter clockwise then clockwise.

Blink more often, this helps to  keep them wet.

Sun your eyes: sit with eyes closed at an oblique angle to the sun for only a few minutes a day.

Other eye move: eye spirals

Have your eyes follow your hand as you spiral hand down then up.

For computer work  get glasses with a blue light blocker as it reduces eye strain. The screen looks like a soft eggshell white instead of harsh white.

Wear them for TV at night as blue light blocks melatonin production

Electro Magnetic Frequency- EMF reduction tips

These tips are included for those who are sensitive to EMF.

Instead of wireless, if possible use a network cable, with router plugged into a power bar, with the on/off switch so you can just flick it off at night (no EMF when sleeping) & flick the switch on in the morning.

Phone: Use corded landline if possible. Re- cordless phone, have it set on ECO which reduces EMF from the base.

Re-cell phone, to reduce EMF, carry cell phone away from your body, in a small purse/bag not your pocket. When not in use have it turned off or on airplane mode.

When using the hand set use speaker phone or head set to reduce EMF near your head.

Use a toaster oven instead of microwave.

Use battery electric tooth brush instead of plug in one as it doesn’t emit EMF
