BTW using the term 'exercises' for Bates method is kinda incorrect - it seems to imply that these are physical exercises whereas in reality they are mental. Doing the Bates exercises without involving the mind is futile.... Keep this in mind when doing the exercises (note to self).
* Long swing - 120 full. Long swing is a good starting exercise as it relaxes the whole body including the eyes. Once the body/eyes are relaxed, other exercises can be done more easily.
* Fine print reading. Got new material - I was searching for Bates Magazine - Better Eyesight - that he published from 1919 to 1930 - and they are available for free!! at www.central-fixation.com. Go to resoures section - you will also find bates original book as well as other good books + articles. Anyways - I read two complete magazines - Jan and Feb 1920 which I printed out in fine print (Times New Roman - 4 points type size).
In the Feb 1920 issue, there is an article that talks about halo's seen when reading fine print. These halo's are within the white part of the letters and when reading it we should actively pay attention to these halos - these will bring about a rapid cure it is said.
* Shoulder exercises.
* Swaying before eye chart - I find this very relaxing provided the mind imagines that the letters are moving in opposite direction to the body movement. Did this for 10 minutes.
That's all for today :) Later..
