Near and distant viewing

• Stand or sit at an open window, preferably with a clear view of the horizon, with the arms by the sides.
• Focus the eyes on the nosetip, nasikagra drishti, for 5 seconds.
• Then focus on a distant object on the horizon for 5 seconds.
• Repeat this process 10 times.
• Close the eyes and relax.
• Palming may be performed at this time.

Breathing:  Inhale during near viewing.

Exhale during distant viewing.

Benefits:  Same as for Preliminary Nasikagra Drishti (preliminary nosetip gazing), but the range of movements in these eye muscles is further increased.

Practice note:  Lie in shavasana for a few minutes after completing all the exercises.
