Sight Versus Vision | by Madisyn Taylor Sight is the ability to see the physical world while vision is the gift of seeing beyond it. Sight enables us to take the physical world in so we can participate in it with knowledge. It brings us pleasure through our eyes, which perceive the colors and shapes of all the myriad expressions of nature and human beings. It helps us feel in control, allowing us to see what is coming toward us, which way we are going, and exactly where we are standing at a given moment. We are able to read signs and books, navigate the interiors of buildings with ease, sense and perceive how a person is feeling by the expressions that cross her face. As anyone who has lost their eyesight can tell you, though, there are things that are clearer when you cannot see the world through your eyes. One of the reasons many meditation instructors advise sitting with the eyes closed is because we automatically become more in touch with our inner world when we are not distracted by the outer world. It is in this state that vision becomes our mode of seeing. Vision comes from within and shows us how to navigate the realms of thought, feeling, and emotion. It enables us to see things that aren't yet manifested in the world of form, and it also connects us to that part of ourselves that exists separately from the world of form. As we age, even those of us with perfect eyesight will generally lose some of our acuity, but this loss is usually replaced with inner vision. This is the time of life when we are meant to turn inside and take what are sometimes the very first steps of a journey that cannot be traced on a map. We call upon intuition and feel our way along a path that ultimately carries us beyond the realm we can see with our eyes and into the land of spirit. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Sarah Rector When was the last time you did a focused stretching session for your hip flexors and hamstrings? Never, maybe? The thing is, if you're someone who sits for 4 or more hours a day, the prolonged sitting is actually causing your hip flexors to tighten up--which can lead to lower back problems and ongoing pain. And, did you know that when your hamstrings are too tight, your muscles rotate your pelvis backward? The truth is, most people overlook the importance of stretching their hips and hamstrings regularly. And while it isn't necessary to fit in a full workout each week that only targets those areas, it's super easy and highly beneficial to add in a few exercises that strengthen these often neglected and underrated muscles.
