MEDITATION

Besides helping to clear your mind and relax your body, meditation has also been associated with relieving mild depression, insomnia, tension headache, irritable bowel syndrome as well as helping to control substance abuse.

 Meditating is actually easier than you might imagine. Most of us have dabbled in meditation by participating in conscious relaxation. Maybe during an exercise class or to manage pain at the dentist or anxiety before a test. We start by paying attention to our breathing. The practical effort to focus completely on our breathing takes our minds away from the “mind clutter” that constantly tries to invade our mind and eliminate feelings that will lead to a time of calm. With repeated effort the goal of clearing your mind – to think of nothing, does occur and the process of meditation takes on its own energy.

Did you know that an estimated 180 million people are visually disabled, while close to 50 million of them are blind? According to the World health Organisation, about 80 percent of the world’s blindness is avoidable, preventable or treatable. One of Singapore’s biggest problems is myopia, which in some cases can lead to potentially blinding conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataract. The easiest way to prevent this short-sightedness is to take good care of your eyes by limiting the duration of continuous near work, like using the computer, reading and writing, and take regular vision breaks. After every 30 minutes, relax your eyes by looking at distant object or out of a window for three to five minutes. And don’t forget to blink. Blinking keeps the surface of our eyes moist, dust-free and clean.
