Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yoga Break: Close Your Eyes If you work with computers, detailed documents, or small objects that strain your eyes, you may find that your vision starts to get fuzzy by the end of the day. But taking a break from the intense concentration of work — whatever work you do — is good for everyone. The yogic practice of withdrawing from the senses (Pratyahara) can be spiritual and mental. When we close our eyes, we move into ourselves and away from the external world. This creates a deep sense of peace. At the same time, on a physical level, closing our eyes can protect them, calm our bodies, lower our blood pressure, and make it possible for us to concentrate for longer periods of time. So try taking a yoga break at your desk or wherever you are during your workday. Close your door, close your eyes, and surrender to the moment. Your eyes — and your mind — will thank you.
