Led Zeppelin and their Stairway to Heaven


                Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven


When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for


Ooh, ooh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven


There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure

"Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings


In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all our songs are misgiven


Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ohh, makes me wonder


There's a feeling I get, when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving


In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of thosr who stand looking


Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, really makes me wonder


And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune

And the piper will lead us to reason


And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter


Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa


If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now

It's just a Spring clean for the May queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by,  but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you are on


And, it makes me wonder  ...


Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know

the piper's calling you to join him


Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?


And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows are taller than our souls

There walks a lagy we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one, and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll


And she's buing a stairway to heaven

Гімнастика для очей

 

Гімнастика для очей: 7 найкращих вправ          👀

Вправа 1  ШТОРКИ

Швидко і легко моргайте 2 хвилини. Сприяє покращенню кровообігу.

 

Вправа 2  ДИВИМОСЯ У ВІКНО

Робимо маленьку кульку з пластиліну і ліпимо на скло. Вибираємо за вікном  далекий обєкт, кілька секунд дивимося вдалину, потім переводимо погляд на кульку. Пізніше можна ускладнити навантаження – фокусуватися на чотирьох різноудалених обєктах.

 

Вправа 3   ВЕЛИКІ ОЧІ

Сидимо прямо. Міцно заплющуємо очі на 5 секунд, потім широко відкриваємо їх. Повторюємо 8-10 разів. Зміцнює м’язи повік, покращує кровообіг, сприяє розслабленню м’язів очей.

 

Вправа 4   МАСАЖ

Трьома пальцями кожної руки легко натисніть на верхні повіки, через 1-2 секунди зніміть пальці з повік. Повторіть 3 рази. Покращує циркуляцію внутрішньої рідини.

 

Вправа 5   КОНТРАСТ

Двічі в день, вранці й ввечері, обполіскувати очі. Вранці – спочатку досить теплою ( не обпечіться)  водою, потім – холодною. Перед сном все у зворотному порядку: промиваємо холодною водою, потім – теплою.

 

Вправа 6   КОРИСНА УЯВА

Закрийте очі на кілька хвилин і уявіть щось приємне. А якщо потерти долоні одна об одну і прикрити очі теплими долонями, схрестивши пальці на середині чола, то ефект буде помітнішим.

 

Вправа 7   СТРІЛЯЄМО ОЧИМА

Дивимося вгору-вниз з максимальною амплітудою.

Креслимо коло (очима) з годинниковою стрілкою і навпаки.

Малюємо очима діагоналі.

Малюємо поглядом прямокутники.

Погляд йде по дузі: опуклій і вигнутій.👀👀

Обводимо поглядом ромб.

Малюємо очима бантики.

Малюємо букву S – спочатку в горизонтальному положенні, потім у вертикальному.

Зводимо зіниці до перенісся, наблизивши палець до носа. Часто-часто моргаємо повіками – як метелик моргає крильцями.

ЯКЩО Є ЗНАЧНІ ПОРУШЕННЯ ЗОРУ, КРАЩЕ ПРОКОНСУЛЬТУВАТИСЯ З ЛІКАРЕМ, ЯКІ САМЕ ВПРАВИ МОЖНА ВИКОНУВАТИ.
