To keep the memory sharp, it is important to maintain
vision. Relaxation is the key to maintain vision for many years. Vision and
mental focus go hand in hand and both don’t do well with strain and stress.
Relaxation and inner peace is important in remembering things. All these things
rely on each other to work properly.
A great way to test the condition of the eyes is a mental
memory exercise. In this exercise, the goal is to maintain a visual image for
as long as possible. To start, cover one eye and glance quickly at a letter on
the page with the other eye. Close your eyes and hold the image of the letter
in your mind as long as possible. Count how many seconds the image stays in
your mind before fading away to darkness. Take note of this number. Do the same
thing for the other eye and compare the results.
Now relax the eyes and try again. One way to relax the eyes
is to close them and concentrate only on pleasant thoughts and good memories.
Allow your eyes to focus on the darkness and forget everything around you. Open
your eyes and try the exercise again. Hopefully the results are different and
the image stayed longer the second time around. If not, you may need to find
some eye relaxing exercises and work on removing the strain.
Vision affects memory. We need the vision to see the image.
The more clearly we see the image the more detail we can recall on later.
Focusing on the positive events will help keep the mind relaxed and the eyes
free of strain.
The following exercise will help you relax and improve your
memory. Try it tonight. While lying in bed tonight focus on all the positive
things that happened throughout the day. Picture the events of the in as much
detail and color as possible. Try picturing your lunch or the clothes the
person who complimented you was wearing. Focusing on the positive will clear
your mind, relax the body, and give you a better night’s sleep.
Removing the strain from the eyes will not only improve your
vision it will also improve your memory.
