Every Tuesday and Thursday, I teach a Qigong class on the beach here in Israel, just south of Caesarea, where a great Roman city thrived two thousand years ago. And we end every Qigong session with the Orange Flash routine. It's become a ritual. I don't even have to suggest it anymore, the students ask for it because it feels so good. I put on a couple of songs, and we move or dance, in the sunlight, while giving our eyes a chance to experience natural outdoor light. And when we get to the Orange Flash part, laughter often breaks out. There's something incredibly satisfying about it. If I had to choose one practice for overall well-being, this would be high on my list. It combines sunlight, movement, relaxation, and simply feeling alive. So whenever the sun breaks through, take advantage of it and practice the Orange Flash routine. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to the Classroom tab and try it for yourself. And join us for Super-Vision Sunday, where we'll meet for a session of discussion and practice. This Sunday, I'll also share one of the most important stretches I practice. I call it the Miracle Stretch. It's one of the practices that has helped me maintain the flexibility that allows me to do the splits at 62, and I'll show you how to begin wherever you are today. See you Sunday! 👁️☀️ Yaron Fritzco

I live in northern Europe. We are now looking at a long wintertime ahead, where there is not much sun or daylight. Is there any routine or other kind of ligth that can be used to support my eyes, when it´s not possible to do the sunning or orange flash. Witch I by the way love. Aischa

Did you know that taking regular breaks can improve your productivity AND help your eyes? The Pomodoro Technique is a simple time-management method that encourages you to work in short, focused sessions followed by breaks. It was invented by an Italian medical university student, Francisco Cirillio in 1987. He used a timer in the shape of a tomato, hence the name Pomodoro = tomato in Italian ⏱️ 25 minutes: Focus on your work. 🌿 5 minutes: Take a break, move around, and relax your eyes. 🔄 Repeat four times, then take a longer break of 15–30 minutes. During the 15 minutes break after 2 hours of work, you take an S-13 moment, to loosen your shoulders increase blood flow, increase agility. How does this benefit your vision? When we stare at screens, we tend to blink less and keep our eyes focused at the same distance for too long. This can contribute to dryness, eye fatigue, and blurred vision. During your five-minute break: 👁️ Look into the distance to relax your focusing muscles. 🚶 Get up, stretch, and release tension in your neck and shoulders. ☀️ If possible, step outside and enjoy some natural daylight. These habits can help reduce digital eye strain and support visual comfort while helping the back be pain free and sharpen the mind. You can download an app that keeps the pomodoro timer for free on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pomodrone.app&pcampaignid=web_share for the apple version, look for pomodoro timer

What is that? You ask. One of the most important rules for vision improvement and for keeping back pain away. It basically says this: Every 20 minutes. (25 if you work according to the Pomodoro method.) Get up from your chair. Walk to a window. 20 second at least stare to the distance of at least- 20 ft which is 6 meters. That's it. Give your eyes a rest from screens and from looking at a close distance. Do that and reduce becoming myopic. Want me to do a post about the benefits of the Pomodoro method?

Someone told me it's more of a Gold Flash. Maybe she was right. It's worth more than gold. The Golden Flash energizes the eyes and the body. Limited sun exposure, that is, exposure without burn, is super healthy. According to several books, backed by hundreds of clinical trials, the sun is crucial to our health. That's why the Golden Flash routine is so special. Not only do our eyes get energized with the penetrating photons of the sun. Our skin reacts. ' Just like a plant that goes through photosynthesis, Our body reacts, producing Vitamin D, (which the whole population lacks, because..... lack of sun)) our skin gets protection from melanin (take your sunglasses off for that) our bones strengthen and our mood improves. The Golden Flash routine, gives you a daily health boost. You can find the Orange Flash, soon to be promoted and called the Golden Flash, in the classroom tab. Give it a try for a few days and then adopt it as part of your daily habit. It will put a smile on your face and improve your vision.
