Schulte Table Free - Peripheral vision training and brain development

Author biography

Mirzakarim Sanakulovich Norbekov is one of the famous Uzbek and Russian alternative healers. His homeland is a mountain village near Samarkand. Born in 1957, he grew up in a large family.

He studied fine arts and began working on wall painting. He was drafted into the army into the construction troops. Here he was seriously injured. He achieved his cure with the help of his own willpower and constant exercise. He became a convinced activist and developer of physical exercises to combat various diseases.

Since the 90s, together with other devotees (L. Fotina, Yu. Khvan), he has created a number of organizations teaching people self-healing. Actively promotes a healthy lifestyle among the population and personal development.

In 1998, he opened the Institute of Human Self-Healing in Moscow and became its director. Classes using his method are held here. The first writing experience began with the publication of a book in 2001, then several more printed publications were published. Since 2010, he has been the President of his own.

M. Norbekov takes part in programs on various television channels and is published in magazines.

The Institute has representative offices in 28 countries and 14 branches in the USA. The methods proposed by M. Norbekov are very popular.

Experts draw attention to the “pseudoscience” of the author’s views. This is due to Norbekov's unclear role in attracting thousands of people. There is information about the use of hypnotic influence and subjugating techniques.

There is no reliable information about the author’s academic degrees, education, or sports awards. Verification attempts do not confirm Norbekov’s participation in karate competitions.

Nevertheless, such an odious fame for the author adds to his popularity.

Book “The Experience of a Fool or the Key to Insight”

It is better to read the book and form your own opinion. With a harsh title, the author criticizes himself and sick people for missed opportunities in restoring health. Has a negative attitude towards laziness and lack of desire to help oneself restore vision.

There are approximately equal numbers of supporters and opponents of the technique. This is greatly facilitated by M. Norbekov’s lack of a medical diploma.

The book offers the interested reader an introduction to the healing method. Instructions on physical exercises are provided, their expediency and practical significance are explained.

Some advice is intended to support a person’s self-affirmation and eliminate indecision and lack of will. Of course, the book is interesting for many readers, even for preventive purposes, and the author deserves gratitude for his work.

The essence of Norbekov’s technique

It is interesting that M. Norbekov himself considers his developed methodology not to be therapeutic, but to teach life. He considers

improvement of vision and freedom from glasses is a “side effect” of the patient gaining confidence in his mental and physical strength,

improving mental well-being, a new sense of being in nature.

The author skillfully combines in the healing system:

general physical exercises;
working with the eye muscles (based on the experience of American ophthalmologist William Bates);
oriental massage practice or, according to modern views, the effect on reflexogenic zones;
auto-training and self-hypnosis.

The author's attention to the restoration of posture and the correct position of the spine can be traced. This improves nutrition of all head organs and brain centers.

Description of exercises

The key to success is determined by the consistency and correctness of the exercises.

Exercise No. 1

Keep your head straight, without straining. Without moving your head, raise your gaze as high as possible, mentally passing through the eyebrow and forehead. Return to starting position.

Similarly, lower your eyeballs as far as possible and mentally “examine” your throat from the inside. Look forward.

Exercise No. 2

Without changing the position of the head, working only with your gaze, tilt your eyeballs as far as possible to the left, then to the right. At the same time, try to mentally penetrate inside the ear.

According to ancient Eastern medicine, these actions cleanse the energy channels of the head and liver and have a general healing effect.

Exercise No. 3 – “Butterfly”

Using one eye, “draw” a diagonal line from the lower right corner to the upper left, then go down and from the lower left to the upper right corner.

Repeat similar movements from the lower left corner to the upper right, go down to the right, then look up at the upper left corner.

After finishing the paired exercise, you should relax your eyes and blink your eyelids lightly. In recommendations

attention is paid to the formation of the largest possible figures, then the effect on the eye muscles will be soft and gentle.

Exercise No. 4 – “Figure Eight”

With your head motionless, make movements with your eyes along the line of a large “figure eight” figure, drawing it first in one direction, then in the other. To relax, you need to lightly blink your eyelids.

Exercise #5

Performed in a quiet room, in a calm state. The exercise is especially indicated for myopic people, since it strengthens the lateral muscles.

Try to concentrate the gaze of both eyes on the tip of the nose, then slowly move forward to the bridge of the nose and try to see what is on the sides on the right and left. At the same time, you are not allowed to move your eyes to the side.

You should do 8 slow, smooth repetitions.

Exercise #6

Place both index fingers on the tip of the nose. Fix your gaze on your fingers. Slowly spread your fingers horizontally to the sides, and try to follow them with your peripheral vision. The left eye should be concentrated on the left finger, the right eye, respectively, on the right.

Repeat three times and rest.

Exercise No. 7 – “Big Circle”

Imagine a clock dial before your eyes. Gradually, starting from the number 12, mentally move your eyes in a circle clockwise, then back. Movements should be smooth. The diameter of the circle gradually increases, but it is advisable to keep the circumference smooth and beautiful.

↑ Exercise with tables

Now do the exercise with two test tables: one, large, hangs on the wall, and the other, small, put in front of you. You can use the Sivtsev table purchased at Medtekhnika. “Visual acuity” tables are also suitable, only in this case they will need to be printed in enlarged form. You need to work in the same way as in the previous exercise.

Don't you forget, my dear comrade-in-arms, to do basic eye exercises? Are you strengthening your spine? Do you do other useful exercises?

From diaries

“When I came to class, I didn’t believe that my vision could be restored, but at the very first lesson I believed that I could see all objects clearly and clearly at any distance. I started eating separately, dousing myself with cold water, and became convinced that I was seeing much more clearly. I’ve become calmer, I don’t quarrel with anyone.”

“I found out about the health group by chance, at a parent meeting. I thought and thought and decided to go listen out of curiosity. I became interested and believed. And today is the last lesson.

I had hypertension, radiculitis, and often had headaches. I decided to end all my pains. I douse myself with cold water. It was scary the first time, but now I can’t do without it. I began to eat separately, rationally. Now you won't recognize me! I lost 5 kilograms, became slim and beautiful. I breathe easily, I don’t walk, but I fly, I feel that my youth has returned to me. I love everyone, and everyone loves me."

Massage after eye exercises

Massage of reflexogenic zones serves to consolidate the effect on the muscle groups of the eyes.

To do this, it’s easy to find the right points on your face:

in the center between the eyebrows there is an unpaired point;
on both sides on the wings of the nose there are paired dots;
in the middle of the pit under the lower lip above the chin there is an unpaired point;
on the temples in the pits there are paired dots;
above the forehead in the center in the area of the cape of hair - an unpaired point.

Alternately, make smooth pressing movements with your fingers, gradually intensifying them until slightly painful.

A significant addition to the technique of performing the technique is the author’s recommendation to perform the exercises in three stages:

the first - with open eyes;
second - close your eyes;
the third is to do everything mentally.

After each workout, Norbekov gives a relaxation exercise

1. Rub your hands, place in the solar plexus area. Raise them to your eyes without stopping rubbing.

2. Stack the rounded tassels on top of each other. The fingers should be aligned on the forehead. The angle formed by the palms is located on the bridge of the nose. The fingers are brought together so that they do not touch the eyelashes, and the sun does not penetrate the eyes. Close your eyelids.

3. Relax your facial muscles, shoulders, arms, torso. Look back.

4. Look at the darkness or at images and objects that arise in your imagination.

5. Move your thoughts to the navel area. Relax and feel love for your eyes, body and life.

6. Shift your attention and similar feelings to the liver area. Then to the kidneys. Feel how your body responds with gratitude.

7. Release your hands, relax all the muscles of your body. Imagine a pleasant morning landscape.

8. Open your eyes, maintaining a feeling of peace.

Principles of Norbekov’s technique

Norbekov's eye gymnastics are quick to learn and easy to perform. Fine motor skills of the fingers are added to the overall effect during massage movements, which allows for overall calm, relaxation, and the ability to concentrate. Patients note a positive effect on well-being and the development of speech function.

There are general rules that are not recommended to be violated during classes:

When performing exercises on the eye muscles, it is important not to move your head, only your gaze.
Physical stress on the eyes should not be accompanied by tension or squinting. When you feel tired, you should blink and relax.
To perform a massage, you should choose a comfortable finger pad.
The massage is carried out with soft movements without rubbing.
Based on the strength of the impact, the patient should feel pleasant pressure or mild pain.
It is necessary to follow the sequence of exercises; they are offered from less complex to more difficult for the muscles.
To achieve results, you should start doing eye gymnastics only with a positive emotional attitude.

Vision training using tables for Norbekov's eyes

Norbekov's vision correction table is used as an alternative treatment along with special eye gymnastics. The author is confident that a patient who decides to restore health to his eyes triggers a self-healing mechanism. Pursuing the set goal, the body strives for complete recovery. At the end of the course, a person can read every row of the Norbek table.

So, on the physical level, vision is restored with the help of exercises, and on the psychological level - by visual training.

Norbekov’s vision table should be printed on an A5 sheet and used as follows:

Patients with myopia must find a working line on the canvas: this is an inscription below which the words can no longer be made out, but above it they can be clearly seen. Practical classes will be conducted in this position;
For farsightedness, the table is placed twenty centimeters from the eyes;
People with astigmatism need to choose a comfortable eye position on their own, based on personal feelings;
If only one eye needs therapy, then a load is placed on it, and the healthy one is covered with a palm;
For glaucoma and cataracts, the emphasis should be on relaxing the eye muscles.

Before performing any eye exercises, you should consult an ophthalmologist. You can undergo a comprehensive examination and choose treatment at the Elite Plus clinic.

How to read a table correctly

Eye training according to Norbekov’s table is carried out according to the following algorithm:

You need to read not a single word, but the entire phrase;
The eyes should be relaxed;
The process should be easy and relaxed. Training should be fun, and not perceived as a duty;
A person must convince himself that each time his eyes see better and better;
You need to encourage yourself and praise;
You need to catch the state of flow and gain a foothold in it for the maximum possible period of time;
The greater the belief in success, the higher the likelihood of complete recovery.

When training your eyes using the Gorky table, it is important to monitor your facial expressions, do not squint, and your facial muscles should be in a relaxed state. The complex is first carried out with open eyes, and then the exercises are repeated mentally, closing the eyelids. Before training, you need to remove contact corrective devices (glasses, lenses).

Gymnastics for the eyes according to Norbekov - benefit or waste of time?

One can be skeptical about the system of exercises proposed by M. Norbekov, but there is no doubt that it will not cause harm and can be useful as an additional means in the general therapeutic complex of measures for the treatment of myopia, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Especially in the initial stages.

The author tries to prove the feasibility of the method for diseases such as optic nerve atrophy and macular degeneration. Such diseases have an organic basis of pathology, and therefore require a different therapeutic effect.

An important component of M. Norbekov’s methodology is lost in disputes about effectiveness.

After all, the author, unlike other gymnastics complexes for the eyes, offers another, no less important part - a psychological attitude towards healing and health. This cannot be missed in the book. The author recommends that patients perceive themselves not as sick, but as already recovered.

This is achieved by a positive emotional state of mind, an open attitude towards the world, cultivating a sense of friendship and love for nature and people.

M. Norbekov highly appreciates the importance of the health of the spine or the “muscular corset” of the body in the proper functioning of all systems, including the effect on vision.

Description of the method of vision restoration according to Norbekov

In ophthalmology, there are two main methods of testing and training vision: according to Sivtsev and Norbekov. The first method is familiar to every person who has visited a doctor at least once in his life. The technique was developed back in Soviet times, but even today it is used in every ophthalmologist’s office. The method is considered the simplest, most accessible and effective for determining visual acuity.

The table according to Sivtsev is a white canvas, on which there are twelve rows with letter designations of different sizes, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. Any of the series corresponds to a certain indicator. To the left of the table, before the beginning of each line, there is a designation in the form of the letter D, which represents the distance in meters.

The table for the eyes according to Norbekov is not so popular and is considered as a training for visual function. It resembles the table according to Sivtsev, but instead of a set of letters, normal text is written. It is also located first with a large font and then goes down.

The role of posture in improving vision

M. Norbekov calls correct posture a “muscle corset” for the spine. It is no secret that the roots extending from the spinal cord provide nutrition to all internal organs. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the general set of exercises the author included movements for the joints and lateral muscles of the back, strengthening the vertebral ligaments and preventing the development of osteochondrosis.

All exercises begin with a load on the arms, then on the legs. Consistency is a mandatory component of the system!

First, exercises are shown for the upper spine, then there is a transition to the underlying vertebrae. The load, according to the author, should be distributed evenly. The effect does not depend on the person’s physical fitness.

Each exercise is repeated up to 10 times. It is suggested to monitor your breathing: inhalation is performed against the background of a relaxed state of the muscles, and tension follows when exhaling. The speed of movement can be selected individually. Results appear with regular exercise in 2 – 3 weeks.

How vision is restored

The main tool of work is the creative spirit.

Norbekov describes the mechanism of the recovery process with the following diagram:

volitional effort - "muscle corset" - mood - faith - success.

When we straighten our backs and smile broadly, thoughts and emotions are also forced to change direction, since they are closely connected with the muscles of the body. A good emotional mood penetrates the brain through the blood and affects the general condition.

By directing our mental gaze to a specific area or diseased organ, we cause the activation of additional receptors. Every cell in the body responds to signals from the brain. By imagining ourselves energetic, healthy and strong, we start the process of restoring vision and the health of the body as a whole.

Stages of vision restoration according to the Norbekov system

1. Starting the process (2-3 days)

2. Restoration of vision (2 dpt or less – 8 days)

3. Adaptation to normal vision, the emergence of a conditioned reflex (20-40 days)

Focusing on sensations

Norbekov forbids practicing in a sad mood and is an ardent opponent of laziness. Great importance is attached to understanding the importance of exercise, listening to your feelings, connecting attention to the feeling of coldness, warming, numbness in different parts of the body.

Along with physical improvement, personal growth occurs. The author claims that after a course of gymnastics, a person’s spiritual mood changes, self-confidence appears, and many managed to achieve professional success.

Pros and cons of the technique

To talk about the effectiveness of the technique, it is not enough to read the author’s books. Even Norbekov’s admirers would like to know about the results of clinical trials. This requires time and a basic medical facility.

We can talk about effectiveness scientifically when there is a statistically confirmed improvement in vision in a group of people who used the Norbekov system, and the absence of such results in another similar group in which the recommendations were not used. Such information is not provided anywhere.

In addition, many people doubt the multimillion-dollar business structure built by Norbekov on the propaganda of his system. Doctors claim that people’s gullibility is being exploited and call the actions of the author of the system quackery.
