Edu-Kinesthetics Learning-Through-Movement Series, or better known as – Brain
Gym ®
Drawing the Lazy 8 – or
infinity symbol – enables the reader to cross the visual midline without
interruption, thus activating both right and left eyes and integrating the
right and left visual fields.
This exercise helps with:

and shoulders while focussing
improved depth perception

helpful in the following occupations where these skill are needed:

eyestrain, writing legibly, speed-reading, driving with comfort., developing
rapport and writing legibly, co-ordinating processes at the keyboard and
preventing eyestrain at the computer, expressing leadership skills, conducting

a figure of 8 with your thumb. Do 3 full

on both thumbs, repeat the process
2.
Point your right arm
out in front of you, at shoulder height.
Now turn your head towards that arm and connect your nose with you upper
