Eye Relaxation Practice To Reset The Nervous System

This short practice introduces a few simple eye exercises that help release tension not only in the muscles around the eyes, but throughout the entire body.

Because the eyes are closely linked to the nervous system, relaxing the visual system can quickly shift the body out of subtle states of tension and into a more regulated, calm state.

The video also includes a brief self-test so you can directly observe how changes in the eyes influence the rest of the body.

When practiced regularly, this exercise can help reduce eye strain from daily screen use, support nervous system regulation, and gradually improve visual comfort and clarity.
