everyone is blessed with good eyesight. Nobody likes wearing thick glasses but
it is a necessity for those with poor eyesight. Nowadays, almost everyone is

relax your eyes. It improves blood circulation and keeps tiredness and
puffiness at bay.

against each other, vigorously until you can feel the heat radiating from them.
Place the palms over your closed eyes and feel the warmth spreading.

also refreshes your physical and mental being.

thumb, close your right nostril. Inhale and exhale forcefully and quickly through
your left nostril. Do this about 20 times. You can feel your abdominal walls
bellowing while doing the exercise. Make your last breath, long and profound.
Now, repeat the same process on your right nostril with the left thumb closing
the left nostril. Finishing the exercise on both the nostrils makes for one
bhastrika. Relax for about 30 seconds and repeat the entire process again. Do
it for about 10 minutes.

the lungs, this also helps in easing disorders associated with reproductive
organs. Make sure that this pranayama is performed on an empty stomach.
