Relax your eyes in 21 steps
Visually intense tasks such as extended computer or smartphone use, long hours at work, or inadequate lighting may cause eye strain. Short term symptoms can be perceived pain in or around the eyes, blurring, headaches, or even doubling of vision.
Eye strain usually is relieved once the eyes are well rested. Here's a great way to help with that. The hands are becoming increasingly softer and more relaxed, and that feeling is then transferred to the eyes. This lesson is like a DIY luxury spa visit for your eyeballs.

Profound, subtle, relaxing, full of rest and alertness combined. Never felt like anything like this. Genius! Much gratitude.
Thank you for providing this lesson. Hands feel so soft, and face feels really looser, like in the jaw and around mouth. Whew, where did all this tension come from? Maybe very old tension. Amazing. Feel the eyes are more relaxed, and just feel like enjoying nature with these relaxed eyes now.
A great presentation. My eyes and entire body felt calm and relaxed. It's just what I needed. I appreciate the way you teach, authentic.
My eyes are really tired and the exercise really improved my vision
WoW what a tension relief in my whole body. Thank you so much Alfons !
You are right. The world is not the same anymore. But we are still here and so are you! Thank you for this centering lesson. 👍
Thank you Alfons for this amazingly subtle lesson. I have been experiencing a migraine headache particularly behind my right eye. It has also given me nausea. After doing your lesson I feel so much better.

Great to hear! Wish you all the best! 🫶
Alfons what a blessing you are. Feldenkrais, it feels SO nice.
This lesson is amazing! I had a headache because I didn't sleep at night, and my eyes were so strained. After this lesson the pain is gone. Thank you so so much, Alfons! I experience living and just being alive differently because of you, your voice guides me towards actual bodily joy, it calms me down and makes me feel actually happiness and gratitude to you, and gratitude just for being alive and having a body and the mind. Thank you so much, that you make these videos, do all the work as a free gift to people. Thank you, I can't say it enough.
Fabulous! My eyes during each rest I saw more darkness... at first, it was dark brown/burgundy...and each time more solid black void. I love the suggestions on softness.. "seeing the world softer"....a gentle approach to life. Feels very powerful and full of kindness! muchas gracias Alfons!
Thanks for the lesson. The world needs more subtlety!
Fascinating session. I've got a long way to go feeling relaxed and smooth in all the movements, but after this one session, my sight was marginally less blurry without my glasses (I'm farsighted) in that I can read the comments without them. They're no longer too blurry to be read. Noch mals vielen, vielen Dank, Alfons!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you Alfons!
Perfect lesson for screen eyes! Thank-you Alfons.
witnessing the pure proces of seeing behind my hands is a great experience. Even better when you can realise and feel that you ARE actualy the proces !!
Another interesting exploration Alfons, thank you! I was amazed and amused to feel so much more movement in the mid-hand after placing the hands on the eyes the first time. How did *that* happen?! Feldenkrais magic. And my gods that was relaxing!
I love your videos! This was so relaxing, can't wait to explore more of your videos. Really appreciate them
Thanks a lot for the wonderful gift of lesson. Feeling so relaxed wanting to go to bed early. Thank you once again.
Amazing as always Alfons, thank you x
This is so magical
Better than sleep!
Sir, beautiful. Have only done ten minutes of your video so far. So excited. Can't wait to see rest of the video. 🙏🏾
Felt so relaxed
Thank you so much!
It was a very nice experience as always it is with you Alfons!
very relaxing and soothing thank you
So great, thank you for this.
Thank you Alfons, always enjoy and ; from you! Dar
Thank you so much, I discovered your videos recently and as a pilates teacher I found them very helpfull to become more aware of your body and the importance of relaxation. I use some of youre excercises in my lessons and I am practicing myself a lot to become more aware of all kind of movements. I also educate myself at the moment as a sihatsu practicer and I shared today your videos about the yapanes kneeling and the seiza sit.. keep up doing the work with these excellent videos🙏🏼
This is very useful lesson. Thank you so much.
Wow, feeling fantastic. Thanks so much.
Another original, enjoyable and enlightening journey. Thank you.
Wow! This lesson made my neck feel like new! Thank you so much for posting these videos. Happy new year!!!!

Acabo de conocer tu canal y el método y solo puedo decir que estoy muy feliz y muy agradecida. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Tengo 37 años y he vivido con una grave escoliosis la cual, a pesar de estar operada y con una prótesis de columna completa desde los 15 años, nunca he podido sentirme completamente "normal". Pero ¿Qué es lo normal? ¿Cuál es el cuerpo correcto?. Bien, este método está respondiendo todas mis preguntas. Muchas muchas gracias. /Soy alemana pero nací en Chile y no manejo el idioma muy bien 😔 pero tus lecciones en inglés son perfectas. Te envío un fuerte abrazo, desde mi casa en Santiago de Chile en medio de la pandemia./ Por favor, utiliza Google Traductor para leer mi mensaje, escribirlo en inglés es menos cómodo para decirte todo lo que quiero expresar./ Estaré muy atenta a tus próximos videos.
Hi What an amazing session I almost fell off to sleep for a few moments I felt like I was going in trans Thanks a lot
It’s intriguing that you worked with the hands as well. How does the experience of softening the hands affect the organization of the eyes?

Through the fascial connection of hands - arms - neck - eye muscles, and also through the fascial connection of hands - arms - diapghragm - lungs - scalene muscles - suboccipital muscles - eye muscles, to start with...Thanks Alfons for giving this profound experience of modulating the eye tension through the movement of the hands and the breath.
So nice to finally relax my computer tight fingers
It's kinda funny. Lately the videos you've put out are so in sync with what my body wants. :) Thanks!

Justin Palentchar that was happening to meet at one time. Now i am not finding as much. He isawonderful teacher when you give your body the time it needs.
when reading or playing piano, etc. is it ideal to keep your head looking horizontal and when the words/notes are lower than horizontal, to just use your eyes to look down there/ I know in feldenkrais, we always talk about the whole body moving together, but in those instances, it doesn't seem practical. Would that cause strain though to just move the eyes down?
I already knew I had a lot of tension behind me eyes, so I kept the movements in this lesson very small but still I feel so nauseous after finishing it. Curious how the rest of the day will be.

What does the hand movement has to do with relaxing eyes?

As far as I know it got something to do with brain maps, fused brain maps (check out the experiments of Michael Merzenich), brain areas with coupled activation and inhibition...
I have to say I watch your exercises and my body responds to it, I understand on a physical level and mentally. I am just distracted by the length of the video and the talking, it could be more condensed!

I tried more condensed ways of teaching, and I might come back to it either more consistently or for specific projects. Each video is always (I guess) what I think works the best for video and for me. I also use the talking to pace the class and hopefully help students to go deep and get the most out of the video classes. If the talking is distracting to you, please kindly ignore it and attentively focus on your movements, thoughts and your own experiences instead. Try to remember the sequence by heart and then use your own pacing. Compare the results. Report back. Happy to have you “on board” or “in class” here on KZread, wish you all the best and great discoveries!
