Eye Movement Chart

 

This chart is an overall exercise for the muscles of the eyes. It develops the ability for the eyes to register light and colour more quickly. This is an exercise that
should be done as quickly as possible. Speed is the key here. The more speed you develop in your eye movements, the more you will be able to detect things that are not as readily apparent. The quick eye movements stimulate greater cone and rod activity within the retina. The faster you become, the easier it is to detect colours.

Begin at any of the five points on the chart. Then quickly move your eyes to a point that is opposite. Pause only a second and then sweep the eyes back.

 

Move the eyes around from one point to the next. Make sure that you include vertical, horizontal, diagonal and circular movements.

 

This is a good exercise to do with each eye separately as well as both eyes together. Many people have one eye which is weaker than the other. This exercise can assist in overcoming "lazy" eye. It forces both to work to their maximum. Cover one eye with the palm of your hand. Then go through a variety of movements with the free eye. Then reverse it. Next work the chart with both eyes together.

 

As with all of the exercises, do not perform this one for more than ten minutes at a time. If you start to feel eyestrain, stop. Remember that you are stretch brightly lit area, as the light spectrum has freer play and greater activity. In bright lights, the cones are excited and the higher intensities and the subtle colors are more easily detected.

 

I have found that there is a medium ground for seeing the aura more easily. Initially, it is most effective to use a dimly lighted room. You want to first start seeing the aura. As you develop the ability to detect it, then you can more easily fine tune it to determine the colors. So, for the beginner, I recommend starting with the dimly lit environment. A room at dusk is an excellent time and place to experiment. Dim light forces you to activate your night vision. It forces the rods to absorb and register more of the light spectrum, especially at levels not ordinarily apparent.

 

1. You will need dim light, a plain white wall and a piece of plain white cardboard. (It must be large enough to allow your hand to stand out against it.)

2. Take time to relax before performing this exercise. If you have been using the eye-chart exercises, you may want to do a quick abbreviated version of them as a warm-up.

3. Begin with your hands. Extend one of your hands out in front of you about a foot or 18 inches. With your other hand, hold the plain white cardboard behind it. This makes your hand stand out against the white surface.

With your hand flat against the white cardboard, the light emanations will be more easily detected as you softly focus your eyes upon it. It first appears as a
soft haze. If you have been practicing, the haze will reflect colours as well.

With hands in front of you about three inches apart, begin your focusing. Concentrate first at the top edges of your hands and then soft-focus upon the entire area around them. Allow the soft gaze to look between and around. Concentrate. Then soft-focus. The aura of your hands will begin to stand out.

4. With your hand flat against the white cardboard, focus your attention upon the tips of your fingers. Hold this focus for about 30 seconds.

5. Now shift your focus from the tips of your fingers to take in your entire hand and poster board. Relax your gaze. As you move from a pinpointed focus to one of the general area surrounding it, you will begin to detect a soft haze outlining the shape of your hand against the cardboard.

6. If you have difficulty with this, perform some of the eye exercises with your hand against the card board. Focus in and out. Move your eyes around the edge of your hand. Shift from the concentrated focus to the soft focus. If you have been practicing, the haze will appear.

7. Pay attention to any colours you may detect as well, even if they are fleeting. You may see hints of colours or flashes, and there is often a tendency to discount them. Don't! As you develop this ability and learn to control it, you will find that the ability to hold the colours in your vision for longer periods of time will develop as well.

8. The next step is to use both hands. Extend them both out in front of you, palms facing toward you. They should be eye level and about three to four inches apart. There should be a blank wall behind them.

9. As in the previous steps, focus upon the edges of the fingers or upon the spaces between them. Hold this focus for 30 seconds or more. Then release it into
a soft focus that encompasses both hands and the surrounding area. Notice the way the hands are outlined against the blank wall. Passively observe.

10. What you actually see may vary. There may be a soft haze that surrounds the hands. There may be flashes of colour or a steady color. It may take the appearance of a heat wave rising up off the street on a hot summer day. In the beginning, it is almost always pale white or blue, almost colourless. As you develop, your ability, the colour, the clarity of the colour and the vibrancy of the aura will become more discernible to your naked eye.
