The Yoga eye thing sounds absolutely fascinating - I'll read it when my eyes are a little less tired. <BR/><BR/>What you have to know, however, is that I have hidious eye-sights to begin with. I think, back in the early 80's, I read somewhere that without my glasses, I'm legally blind in some of the US states. I can't remember if that was in earnest. So in many ways my eyes were always going to be my weak point, but the bad lighting doesn't help either. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, my sparky is back in town, and he left me a message today. So soon at least the lights will be fixed!<BR/><BR/>I will do what you do, too, when I'm out and about. We have a very pretty horizon, Nelson being surrounded by hills and the sea.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-16724530287891403582008-01-30T10:05:00.000+13:002008-01-30T10:05:00.000+13:00Hi Meg....I came here via Bonnie.I have difficulty...Hi Meg....I came here via Bonnie.<BR/><BR/>I have difficulty with my eyes focusing at distance if I've spent a lot of time working close (knitting w/ beads, threading heddles and reeds). I've found that <A HREF="http://www.holisticonline.com/yoga/hol_yoga_pos_eyeex.htm" REL="nofollow"> yoga eye exercises</A> help a lot. In addition to these, when I'm outside I look to the horizon and use my eyes to slowly trace the line of the horizon, both left to right & right to left. It has really helped!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-73001378435175388522008-01-30T07:44:00.000+13:002008-01-30T07:44:00.000+13:00Ahhhh, thank you Bonnie.

In my case, I'll have to resurface from the basement, I guess. <BR/><BR/>I've really got to do something, though, because it's getting a bit silly. If it gets bad enough I start hallucinating about what would happen if I turned blind, (Gee, I'm such a drama queen!), it is time to change my practice, Peg. Definitely.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-4839964592416788962008-01-29T07:22:00.000+13:002008-01-29T07:22:00.000+13:00I wonder if it just isn't a combination of the lig...I wonder if it just isn't a combination of the lights and working on the threading for such a long time. My eye doctor tell me I need to look outside into the distance every 30 minutes or so. It's really no different than standing up to stretch every 30 minutes or so, which is very good at preserving the body...........<BR/>I usually don't do either because I generally don't thread for long periods anymore any way because I lose concentration (as well as ability to focus!).Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-42168107197628587822008-01-26T00:12:00.000+13:002008-01-26T00:12:00.000+13:00Yes, I must.

I did wonder if I can be a blind weaver, kind of seriously. <BR/><BR/>My mother, when she used to do a bit of volunteer work, taught a blind woman how to spin. This woman was very keen, and wanted to learn to knit and weave, too. Good on her. <BR/><BR/>On the plus side, if I'm blind, I won't see any of my mistakes or uneven beating, that's for sure.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-8548473735397071432008-01-25T23:56:00.000+13:002008-01-25T23:56:00.000+13:00oh Meg. problems with the eyes, such a scary thou...oh Meg. problems with the eyes, such a scary thought! please be gentle with yourself and perhaps find an alternative light source to counteract the flicker until Sparky can arrive. take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
