Master Mu Yuchun Explains: How to Improve Your Vision in Seconds

The Impact of Modern Life on Our Eyes: Why Is Our Vision Declining?

In today’s world, our eyes are under a constant barrage of information. Staring at screens of various sizes, intensive reading habits from childhood, and the artificial, bright light sources surrounding us… All these factors place significant pressure on our delicate eyesight. Master Mu Yuchun highlights the inevitable impact of this modern lifestyle on our eye health. Our eyes are continually exposed to new and often tiring stimuli. Over time, this can lead to weakened vision and various eye problems.

Vision problems are no longer just a sign of aging; they have become a fundamental health issue faced by people of all ages, including the young. But is it possible to slow down, or even reverse, this seemingly inevitable process? According to Master Mu Yuchun, the answer is yes – provided we listen to the wisdom of our bodies.

The Solution in Ancient Wisdom: Miraculous Points on the Face

Master Mu Yuchun states that the solution is actually very close, right on our own faces. There are special energy points on our face directly related to our eyes, which, when stimulated correctly, can enhance vision quality. Knowing these points and developing the skill to massage them regularly plays a key role in protecting and improving eye health.

“Actually, there are many more points for our eyes, and these points are located all over the body,” says Master Mu Yuchun. However, he emphasizes the importance of focusing initially on the basic points on the face. Learning these points and incorporating them into a daily routine is one of the most valuable investments one can make for their eyes.

How Often Should Eye Massage Be Done?

You don’t need to spend long hours to see the benefits of this simple yet effective massage. Master Mu Yuchun says that dedicating just a few minutes, a few times a day, is sufficient. The key is consistency and focusing on the right points.

Detailed Point Analysis: Which Points Should Be Massaged?

Master Mu Yuchun details some fundamental points crucial for eye health:

1. Point Above the Eyebrow: Located right in the middle of the eyebrow, just above the bone, this point is often quite sensitive, even painful. To find it, trace your eyebrow line with your finger and locate the slight indentation or the spot where you feel the most sensitivity right in the center. You can think of it as being vertically aligned with your pupil.
2. Point Below the Eye: Another important point located just below the bone where the eyeball rests, again in line with the pupil. Master Mu Yuchun notes that the exact location of this point can vary slightly from person to person. Instead of giving a precise spot, he suggests gently scanning the area with your fingers to find the most sensitive or differently feeling spot. He adds that while massaging this area, one might feel small structures under the skin, like tiny grains of cooked rice. These “seeds” can be a sign that vision has started to weaken and are generally not found in children.
3. Eyebrow Start and End Points: The points where the eyebrows begin near the bridge of the nose and where they end towards the temples are also important for eye health. Massaging sensitive spots in these areas can stimulate blood circulation around the eyes.
4. Inner Corner of the Eye Point: Also known as the tear duct area, this point at the innermost corner of the eye, closest to the nose, is extremely sensitive and requires careful massage. Master Mu Yuchun mentions that this point can be effective not only for eye health but also in addressing issues related to the sense of smell.
5. Nose Side Points: The points located slightly below the inner corner of the eye, on both sides of the nasal bone, are beneficial for both eye health and the sense of smell.

Recognizing these points and discovering their locations on your own face is the first step towards effective massage.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective: Eyes, Liver, and the “Fire” Element

Master Mu Yuchun explains the concept more deeply using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. According to TCM, the eyes are directly connected to the “Liver” organ system, and the Liver’s element is “Wood.” So, what does the Wood element fear? “Fire.”

He illustrates this analogy with a simple example: “If you take your glasses (think of them as a lens) and focus sunlight onto a dry tree branch, what happens? Fire starts.” Similarly, exposing our eyes directly to sunlight or very bright lights causes the “Fire” element to harm the eyes, which are the “Wood” element.

“If you look directly at the sun, fire enters and hurts your eyes. After a while, you want to look at something, but you can’t see anything; your vision worsens,” he warns. This is also why the intense light used in welding hurts the eyes; the welding is “fire,” and the eyes are “wood.” Fire burns the wood and damages it.

On Claims of Absorbing Energy by Looking at the Sun

Master Mu Yuchun emphasizes that claims by some Qigong practitioners about absorbing energy by looking at the sun are extremely wrong and dangerous. “I asked him, what are you doing? He said he was practicing Qigong, looking at the sun, and the sun entered through his eyes. I told him, ‘It enters today, it leaves tomorrow. When you die, they will carry you out of the house!’ You cannot do this; you cannot look at the sun. This is very wrong.”

The Impact of City vs. Village Life on Eye Health

Master Mu Yuchun relates this “Fire” principle to modern life with an interesting observation: Elderly people living in villages often have much better eyesight than those living in cities. Why? Because there is far less artificial lighting in villages. Streetlights are either non-existent or very few at night. Lamps used in homes are usually low-voltage and not bright. People mostly live by natural daylight. This means the eyes are exposed to less “Fire” element, preserving eye health. In cities, however, constant exposure to bright lights and screens tires the eyes and weakens vision over time.

Correct Massage Techniques: How to Apply?

So, how should we massage these valuable points? Master Mu Yuchun states that the technique is simple but requires attention:

• Does Sequence Matter? He says it doesn’t matter which point you start with initially. The important thing is to touch all the key points and stimulate blood circulation. “Imagine there is bread, meat, soup, butter, tomatoes, and cucumbers here. You can eat whatever you want. The order in which you eat is entirely up to you.” Similarly, no matter which point you start the massage with, the meridians will begin to work, and a good result will be achieved.
• Is There a Gender Difference? Beliefs like men should start from the left and women from the right are complete fabrications. “There’s feces on the ground, can you tell if it’s male or female? In most cases, there’s no difference.” He stresses not to confuse the mind with such distinctions.
• Not Just Pressing: Massage isn’t just about applying direct pressure to points or rubbing the eyes. Rubbing the eyes can have the opposite effect and worsen vision.
• Breathing and Blinking: Before starting the massage, calm your breathing and stop blinking too frequently. A calm mind and body enhance the effectiveness of the massage.
• The Right Movement: The massage should be a combination of gentle pressing and circular or back-and-forth rubbing movements. Try to find the spot that aches or is sensitive. This is where energy is blocked or needs stimulation.
• Coordination: Master Mu Yuchun suggests stimulating some points simultaneously. For example, you can place your thumbs in the hollows behind your ears while finding and massaging the points under the eye sockets with your other fingers at the same time.
• Upper and Lower Points: You can press and rub the upper points (above the eyebrow) with your thumbs, then move to the lower points (under the eye).
• Pain and Tears: Feeling slight pain or tearing during the massage is normal. This can be a sign that blockages are opening up and energy is starting to flow.

The Effects of Massage: How Is the “Dirty Window” Cleaned?

What should you expect after the massage? Master Mu Yuchun explains this experience with a wonderful analogy: “Imagine a window, for example. When rain falls on a window that hasn’t been washed for 10 years, or when it’s cleaned, how beautiful does it look? The rain washed everything away… So are the eyes. Clear!”

This massage relieves eye fatigue, stimulates blood circulation, and makes vision clearer and brighter, as if a dirty window has been wiped clean. After just a few minutes of massage, when you open your eyes, you might notice that colors appear more vibrant and details sharper. This is an indication that the body’s self-healing mechanisms have been activated.

Final Thoughts

These simple techniques taught by Master Mu Yuchun offer a powerful tool to cope with the eye fatigue and vision problems brought on by modern life. Without needing complex equipment or expensive treatments, we can protect and improve our eye health using just our own hands and the wisdom of our bodies. The important thing is to integrate this ancient knowledge into our daily lives and give our eyes the care they deserve through regular practice. Remember, health starts from within, and this simple massage could be your gateway to clearer vision.
