Eyes That Are Awake

Last Sunday I kept nodding off in the AM meditation sits. The past two weeks I have been sleeping less, tired more, and my eyes are suffering for it. Since I have not worn makeup for years I can't hide these things. But I don't want people to look into my eyes and see a tired soul.


This is not just about avoiding dark circles, but rather is all on behalf of eye love. Yoga Journal recently sent an article to my inbox titled "Bright Eyes" that discusses nourishing daily rituals - designed to help you remember - the eyes need care to hone vision. Sprinkle them with rose water. Blink 7 times and rotate them all around. Look up to stimulate energy, straight ahead for focus, and down to relax (I learned that one in a yoga class). One thing I like about this article is it encourages you to develop your own bedtime routine based on your own eye issues.

A quick google search "how to take care of your eyes" produces many hits. I am so lucky to enjoy eating fruits/veggies, not to have to sit in front of a computer too much, and not to wear contacts. But I don't wear sunglasses, and I don't sleep enough. Rather than continuing to rub this, I'm going to start wearing my cucumbers. Good night. Time to go plant some cucumber seeds in the garden.
