Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Steve Clarke asked: I have to do a lot of computer work, so is there similar anything to keep the eyes cool? Yours sincerely Steve Try this. Turn away from the computer for a few minutes, stand up and stretch, taking deep breaths. Sit down again. Now rub your hands together and imagine them filling with healing energy. It is OK if you think this is nonsense. Do it anyway. Place your palms over your eyes, and just relax like that, while breathing deeply. You might also do eye exercises. Look down, look up, look left, look right, and make circles with your eyes. Have fun, it's not rocket science! Ien in the Kootenays http://profiles./free_green_living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
