As you look at this
illustration, cross your eyes so you see a third circle between the blue
and red one. When you get your eyes focused right, the middle circle
will seem to have a cross on it.
The farther back you sit, the less eyestrain you'll feel. Sitting
anywhere from 1 -3 ft. back works well.
Watch the cross on the
third circle. Every few seconds, it will change from a horizontal line
to a vertical line and back. This is because the hemispheres of your
brain are alternating in dominance for this activity. When the right
hemisphere is dominant you see the blue circle and vertical line on top;
when the left hemisphere is dominant, the red circle and horizontal line
are on top.
Now you're ready for the
actual yoga. Look at the illustration again, but this time, try to make
the cross on the middle circle steady. You want a pure cross, not a
horizontal or vertical line. Practice every day until you can do it for
45 minutes straight. I think you'll find the resulting state of mind
quite interesting.
Experiment II
Now try the exercise
while listening to binaural beat audio, first wait for 5 - 10 minutes to
allow for brain wave synchronization, the results are amazing. The Lucid
Dreamer works very well for this exercise

Eliminating
Eyestrain
Some people are bothered by eyestrain when they do this exercise,
even if they sit far back from the screen. Here's an alternate method
that completely eliminates strain.
Look at a distant object through two toilet paper tubes (as if they
are binoculars) while holding a finger over the far end of each tube so
your fingers make a cross in your field of vision.
