09. Transformation of the Physical (2)
You have to be careful about your eyes. Reading by night (too much) is undesirable. There are two suggestions of the sun-treatment man which I have found to be not without foundation. First, one should blink freely in looking at things or reading and not fix the eyes or stare. Secondly, palming gives a very useful rest – palming means keeping the hands crossed over the closed eyes (without pressing on the eyes) so as to shut out all light.
