Tip #3: Clear Your Mind
It matters a lot during sun treatment (and other Bates techniques too) what is happening inside your head. The best efficiency is achieved when your mind is at rest. Or should I say it is the goal of any Bates technique to achieve restful state of the mind, for it's when the eyesight becomes perfect.
Clearing your mind is a very important thing that deserves a separate post, and here is a brief summary. The mind gets cleared when you stop thinking thoughts and switch to abstracted observation. Note that it's not productive (or maybe not even possible) to try to suppress your thoughts. Instead, you should occupy your mind with observation of sensations from your body, such as breathing (see Tip #4). In case if a thought emerges, let it go immediately, like a bubble in a glass of water. If you stop supporting your "thought mixer", it will gradually fade out.
Here's a list of my own typical "fixed ideas" that are interfering with sun treatment, or whatever else Bates practice, and need to be avoided:
- Thoughts about my tasks that I am going to do next after I'm done with Bates
- Dialogs and arguments with imaginary opponents
- Thoughts about what I will write next in my blog :)
The favorable thoughts are the following. Note that these are "slow thoughts", or "thoughts-observations":
- It is pleasant to bask in the sun
- I'm letting the sun shine through me and fill me with light and warmth, I do not resist
- Remember black dot
Tip #4: Breathe Right
Breathing deeply and watching the sensations produced by the air flowing through your throat and lungs is a great way to clear your mind of thoughts and occupy it with observation. Maybe that's the way how breathing works for better eyesight.
I find that it's much easier to open my eyes and begin looking at the sun without discomfort if I make a deep breath in the way how Bates describes it:
"MANY patients with imperfect sight are benefited by breathing. One of the best methods is to separate the teeth while keeping the lips closed, breathe deeply as though one were yawning. When done properly one can feel the air cold as it passes through the nose and down the throat. This method of breathing secures a great amount of relaxation of the nose, throat, the body generally including the eyes and ears.
A man aged sixty-five, had imperfect sight for distance and was unable to read fine print without the aid of strong glasses. After practicing deep breathing in the manner described he became able at once to, read diamond type quite perfectly, as close as six inches from the eyes. The benefit was temporary but by repetition the improvement became more permanent.
At one time I experimented with a number of patients, first having them hold their breath and test their vision, which was usually lower when they did not breathe. They became able to demonstrate that holding their breath was a strain and caused imperfect sight, double vision, dizziness and fatigue, while the deep breathing at once gave them relief.
There is a wrong way of breathing in which when the air is drawn into the lungs the nostrils contract. This is quite conspicuous among many cases of tuberculosis.
Some teachers of physical culture in their classes while encouraging deep breathing close their nostrils when drawing in a long breath. This is wrong because it produces a strain and imperfect sight. By consciously doing the wrong thing, breathing with a strain one becomes better able to practice the right way and obtain relaxation and better sight.
The habit of practicing frequently deep breathing one obtains a more permanent relaxation of the eyes with more constant good vision."
I also use Bates breathing not only during sun treatment, but in all my practice.
Tip #5: Watch the Perceived Color of the Sun
Whenever the perceived color of the sun changes from the perfect white, the brightest white in the world, to another color, such as yellow, it means I should make a break, because a scotoma began to build up.
Also, from time to time I look aside from the sun and notice the sun with my peripheral vision. If the sun seen with the peripheral vision is much or even intolerably brighter than the sun seen with my central vision, this is also a sign of scotoma, and I also need to make a break.
When after the break I open my eyes and look at the sun again, I may see some residuals of the previous scotoma. If these dismiss in a couple of seconds, then it's OK, otherwise it means that the break wasn't successful and I need to continue the break or quit the session.
Tip #5: Keep Your Face and Head Muscles Relaxed
Don't squint, don't frown, don't clench your teeth, don't use postures where your neck strains to support your head. It is only beneficial to do sun treatment when you don't have any discomfort, which otherwise makes your face mimics strain.
Sometimes after closing my eyes after looking at the sun, I notice that I involuntarily frowned and strained my forehead muscles. I close my eyes and relax, and the next time I open my eyes, I consciously let go of that strain.
Tip #6: Swing the Sun and Blink
If you wonder where exactly at the sun you should look at, the answer is that you should shift and swing the sun. Also look aside from the sun from time t time, as said in Tip #5.
At first, I wasn't successful and the sun didn't swing or even moved in the same direction with my eyes. Gradually I learned to swing the sun and when I'm capable of doing so, I've got much more relaxation and less scotomata. It is a very bad idea to keep looking at the same point on the sun, just like any staring.
Blink often. Your body will let you know when you need to blink, just listen to it and don't resist (see Tip #1).
Tip #7: Don't Overheat and Don't Burn Your Skin
When you feel it's too hot to stay in the sun any longer or you feel your skin begins to get burned, you are done, quit the session.
If you increase the duration of sun treatment slowly, your skin will adapt and develop the ability to resist sunburns. I started my sun treatment in winter and although my white skin is very prone to sunburns, I was surprised that even in the middle of the summer my skin doesn't get burned any more, though I am not even looking very tanned.

7 Tips for Sun-Gazing Learned in the Hard Way
In my early days, I used to think that sun treatment in Bates method was like vitamin pills - supposed to be good for you, but virtually imperceptible to your overall health unless you've got a deficiency.
Needless to say how wrong I was. Sun treatment appears to be a real strain killer. Its effect is so great that I would say I have never even started practicing Bates method until I began sun treatment. I am not alone in feeling like this, read what others from my favorite Bates community say.
(Note that I intentionally use the original term "sun treatment", not "solarization" or "sunning" that are misleading.)
In fact, the ability to look directly at the sun without discomfort is an equivalent indicator of relaxation, similar to the memory of black dot. In other words, when your eyesight is perfect, you can look at the sun without discomfort and afterimages for any period of time, and in reverse, if you are strained, you can't do this, or only can for a short period of time.
Unfortunately, people are frightened by the idea of looking directly at the sun. For this reason, "Bates disciples" reduced the role of sun treatment in their books, and invented abridged techniques, for they had no true faith in Dr. Bates discoveries and were superstitious that people could permanently damage their eyes. At the bottom line, very few in today Bates communities practice sun treatment. Look at the forums and you will hardly find many threads about sun treatment; in contrast, you will find loads of threads on things that don't matter at all. This needs to be changed.
It is also true however that sun treatment needs to be done properly and with discretion. Look what Bates said:
"One has to be very careful in recommending sun-gazing to persons with imperfect sight; because although no permanent harm can result from it, great temporary discomfort may be produced, with no permanent benefit. In some rare cases, however, complete cures have been effected by this means alone."
When I took my first sun treatment session, I was impatient and stupid enough to do it all wrong. In result, I suffered of afterimages (also known as scotoma, pl. scotomata) that lasted over two months. When that yellowish round spot in the center of my view field didn't go the next day, and after two days, and after a week, you bet it scared the shit out of me. It took me a while to fully demonstrate to myself that scotomata were only illusions caused by strain. Like floaters, I was myself supporting that damned illusion by permanently worrying about it. And paradoxically, the best way to get rid of the afterimage was to look at the sun again :). So looking back I realize that although I indeed haven't caused myself any permanent harm, this temporary discomfort could have been avoided too if I weren't such an idiot.
So I gradually elaborated a set of safety and efficiency tips for sun treatment for myself. By following these tips I no longer experience lasting afterimages. The worst I get is a couple of minutes watery yellowish field immediately after sun-gazing. The best I get is no afterimages at all, that is how it should be.
Please note that although these tips are good for me, you may need to adjust them to your own peculiarities, so begin cautiously and learn from your own experience.
Safety Tip #1: Never Force Yourself!
Whenever you look at the sun and feel an intolerable urge to close your eyes, do it immediately! This is how my body signals that I am not ready - it feels like if I were extremely sleepy or like dust fell into my eyes. Never force your eyes to stay open, don't hold your eyelids with your fingers, don't squint, don't frown, don't cover the eyes with your hand etc. Sun gazing is only beneficial when you look at the sun literally without any discomfort, like if you were looking at the screen of your computer. Otherwise it will only cause you afterimages.
For this reason, I find it better to look at the sun when it is high and bright, in contrast to what some may recommend. When the sun is around its peak, it is impossible to look at it without relaxation, whereas when the sun is low (especially when it seems yellow or red on the sunset) or clouded, one can look at it with the strain still there, which causes no benefit but scotomata very quickly.
Safety Tip#2: Be Patient and Moderate!
After learning how good sun treatment is, it is tempting to start right away and do it as often and as long as you can, but learn to be patient and moderate. Start with short sessions and then gradually increase their length, and begin each session slowly and smoothly.
Bright light is beneficial for the eyes. You'd agree that on sunny days you see better than on dim days, and the brighter is the light, the more is the relaxation. This is how sun treatment works. However, an abrupt change of illumination causes a temporary strike of strain (this is why even people with normal sight sometimes see afterimages), so the idea is to drive in (and out of) the bright light as smooth as possible.
Here is a grade of sun treatment methods, sorted by increasing intensity:
1. Look at the sun with closed eyes (few minutes)
2. Look at the sun with closed eyes and focus sun rays on the eyelids using a burning glass (few minutes) Note: Constantly move the burning glass around to avoid heating.
3. Open the eyes and look down while focusing rays on the white part of the eyeball (1-2 minutes)
4. Look at the sky or near the sun with open eyes (few minutes, while you don't feel discomfort)
5. Look directly at the sun with open eyes (1 - 30 seconds, while you don't feel discomfort )
6. Repeat from step 1 (5-10 times).
During each session, I start with a less intense method, then pass to a more intense method, then repeat. Usually I allocate about 30 min in total. If I'm in haste, I better don't do sun treatment at all, because it is not going to be efficient unless I take my time. After all, sun-gazing is a pleasure I would hate to miss or cut short :).
I may take 1-5 sessions per day. From day to day, I may increase the duration (in seconds) of direct sun gazing, and the number of sessions per day, but do it slowly and cautiously, because sometimes it happens that although I don't have an afterimage immediately after sun-gazing, I may have it in the evening of the same day when the strain returns with the twilight.
Here's what Bates wrote:
"Light is necessary to the health of the eye, and darkness is injurious to it. Eye shades, dark glasses, darkened rooms, weaken the sight and sooner or later produce inflammations. Persons with normal sight can look directly at the sun, or at the strongest artificial light, without injury or discomfort, and persons with imperfect sight are never permanently injured by such lights, though temporary ill effects, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours, days, weeks, months, or longer, may be produced. In all abnormal conditions of the eyes, light is beneficial. It is rarely sufficient to cure, but is a great help in gaining relaxation by other methods.
The quickest way to get results from the curative power of sunlight is to focus the rays with a burning glass on the white part of the eye when the patient looks far downward, moving the light from side to side to avoid heat. This may be done for part of a minute at frequent intervals.
Looking at the sun, while slower in its results, has often been sufficient to effect permanent cures, sometimes in a very short time. There is a right way and a wrong way to do this. Persons with imperfect sight should never took directly at the sun at first, because, while no permanent harm can come from it, great temporary inconvenience may result. Such persons should begin by looking to one side of the sun, and after becoming accustomed to the strong light, should look a little nearer to its source, and so on until they become able to look directly at the sun without discomfort."

The First Thing to Start with
The first and foremost thing you need to do is to read and understand the original Bates book, Perfect Sight without Glasses! This is so important, that I'd begin each and every my blog post with this urgent recommendation.
I can hear you thinking that you've already read it, and you may think you've understood it, but believe me you haven't. I'd bet you read another "Bates-like" book, and it was too much a while ago and most of things you have forgotten or confused with other wrong ideas.
The original book by Dr. Bates is a masterpiece. It's not a usual book that you give a cursory glance and move along. Although the text may look quite dry and old-fashioned at first glance, it is unbelievably carefully worded. There is no single word out of place, and each word is there for a reason. If some pieces seem unclear or unfeasible to you, or in reverse, you shrug shoulders why Dr. Bates writes about such obvious things, this is because you aren't yet experienced enough and haven't reached the state when you can understand it. Keep opening the book now and then, and you will be surprised to find the answers that you didn't previously realized were there. All missing pieces marvelously fit into place.
Like all things of genius, the Bates method is very simple, and the book by Dr. Bates sets forth the complete and pure essence of the method, without any redundancy. Some people call themselves "disciples" of Dr. Bates and write their own books, invent new techniques etc., but what they actually do is at best misinterpret and misplace the accents. I haven't seen not a single book that evolves and adds value to the Bates method, but I've seen a lot of unnecessary and wrong interpretations.
I like to quote one guy who is known to have his eyesight completely cured:
"My recovery has been too long and too slow. I think there are simple reasons for this. First and foremost, I initially had too little faith in the great Dr. Bates. My faith in some of his statements didn't come until I thoroughly had demonstrated the facts to myself, which in some cases took a very long time. Secondly, my mind was for a long time (and maybe still is) cluttered with ideas from Bates books written by people with defective sight and wrong ideas. One of these ideas, I think, is that the people that have the most success, are the people that go on and invent a lot of their own techniques. This I did for a long time. Actually I think I've made up enough of my own techniques to fill up close to a thousand pages in a book. My biggest dream some time ago, was to write all this down, and get my own book on the Bates method published. The techniques I mostly thought were revolutionary at the time I made them. Unfortunately, in the aftermath I've discovered that they're not. What I've discovered is that all of them were just complicated and inefficient ways of doing what the methods, as Bates explains them, do a lot better. That's why I wrote this: "If I hadn't taken all these precautions about posting (and if I weren't so lazy), I would have posted a lot more f.ex. on the use of the imagination, which I consider my strongest card. But I see that the way I use my imagination is changing so much, that I am too afraid to give people wrong ideas - which there is really WAY more than enough of on the other vision lists. I consider the only safe route to perfect vision is to follow the advice of those who have actually got there. Of course, I read other opinions too, but then I'm very careful to have the filters in my brain running." After this time, I've only realized this more and more, and I'm glad that I hesitated in writing up on some of my ideas, because I now know that they were not good ideas. So I doubt that you'll see a book published by me in a long, long time. Anyway, if I had to write down my own experience, I would have to use the same words as Dr. Bates did."
It is unbelievable how many months I have wasted doing totally wrong things while thinking I was practicing Bates. And when I finally got over my laziness and opened the original book, I was amazed to discover that I had never actually read THIS book! Don't repeat my mistake! Now I've made my habit to open the book now and then and it is always a tangible step forward.

This Blog May Be Misleading Too
The golden rule in Bates practice is that you should only trust the original texts by Dr. Bates and his direct associates (such as Emily), and listen only to those practitioners who have completely cured themselves, or are close to the complete cure.
You can find loads of misleading "Bates-like" books by so called "disciples" of Dr. Bates. The Bates community forums are full of nonsense too.
As a matter of fact, Bates method is about 80 years old. It is likely that every meaningful thing that could be said about the method, has already been said. There is no need to write new books and invent new techniques and "Bates programs". What people are really looking for is encouragement from other practitioners, now and then.
Ideally, I should have started this blog when I have myself completely cured. However at that time I will most likely forget a lot and lose my interest, while I'd like to warn the others about the mistakes I am making on my way.
I am not a Bates interpreter. My goal is to attract people to the original ideas of Dr. Bates by sharing my own experience.
