Healing Eyesight With Energy

[Donna]

Hi all,
About a year ago I decided "enough!". My vision is terrible and glasses and contacts are a pain.  So I began using Robert's NEW method to heal my vision.
About two months ago I had my eyes checked and for the first time in 45 years my vision has improved! I told the optomitrist what I had been doing, I was so excited,  and proclaimed that I was going to" keep it up".
I downloaded the "free" book too, thanks. And I'll try those exercises too. By the way when I am out of body (except for reading) my vision is perfect, and more. I do have a hard time trying to bring written materal into focus still when out of body, and at times have found myself totally in the "dark" for a while.
Anyway thanks for the above help.

Here's another technique from Instant Healing by Serge Kahili King, Ph. D.:

When engaged in the act of viewing, place and maintain awareness at the back of your head.

He gives no explanation; here is my analysis:

1. Vision is "passive," we allow ourselves to see. Keeping our focus off whatever we're seeing prevents us from grabbing the object/scene with our eyes and causing more eyestrain.

2. As we know, awareness leads to energy accumulation, enhanced blood flow, and nerve stimulation. Guess what's at the back of the head? The Occipital Cortex, "Primary Visual Center" http://www.uic.edu/com/eye/education/eyefacts/images/OpticNeuritisA.jpg
From other material, I learned that the retina and brain sharpen the image from our eyes approximately 6 times. This is biological image enhancement. In other words, what we see as crisp and clear is actually 6 times fuzzier before our brain gets ahold of it. Most people with visual problems likely are deficient in this area, not just focusing ability. Stress and corrective eyewear cause this processing to work less efficiently. I think that's from "Take Off Your Glasses and See" by Jacob Liberman

Two days ago, after an evening of raising energy, using techniques from instant healing, and praying I woke up with somewhere between 20/60 and 20/100 vision I'd guess. A far cry from my original 20/600, no? (It faded fast to whatever my baseline is now, maybe even lower, but I had it!)

I'm getting discouraged again, but I'm not gonna stop. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

All the best,

In the traditional chinese medicine (acupuncture, chi kung) vision is associated with the liver. At http://www.powerattunements.com/mandalas.html there is a mandala for the liver and they offer an empowerment for the mandala. Maybe that could help, too.

Hi,
I have also been trying to improve my eyesight. I was doing the circular motion all around my eyeballs, nerves, sockets, inside my eyeballs. Later that day, my vision went totally crap. I could see about 10 feet infront of me and behind that was a blur. I had tunnel vision, about 90 degrees, normally about 210 degrees. Past the tunnel vision blind spot, was loads of coloured blurs. Once I had eaten and had a drink, I felt a lot better. It wasnt dehydration as I had had my breakfast. A lot of breakfast.

Cya,
auraseer.

Working with energy to improve eyesight, one might always consider to also "open the doors (or windows) of perception".

In many instances one may find energetic distortions around the area of the eyes especially which make it difficult to see clearly. It is possible that the muscles referred to which are said to pull the eyeballs out of shape are trying to compensate as they are straining to "see reality" through a haze of energetic shields and blockages.

Hi, are you referring to "The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell"
by Aldous Huxley? I can't seem to find anything else.

Thanks!

Very interesting subject.
Has anyone ever added vitamins or minerals to the regime?
It is recommended that you add 70 mg. of zinc per day for your eyes.
Also, Bilberry 1000 mg. should be added, along with the vitamin A, etc.
I have been taking these supplements for a couple of years now, and I feel my vision has improved.  Hardly ever wear my glasses at home anymore, and have to be reminded to wear them when I leave the house.
What a wonderful, free feeling to see something without those darned glasses.

pray for peace.

This is the original quote:

If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
–William Blake

Clients in hypnotherapy find occasionally improvements in eyesight when they remember or come to terms with events "they did not want to see".

This makes sense energetically and would also account for the reason for eye muscles to distort the eyeball.

Also, improvement in eyesight can occur spontaneously with energy therapies treatments such as EFT (http://theamt.com">http://theamt.com) when clients release negative beliefs such as, "Without my glasses, I am blind as a bat."

I do believe (although I cannot prove this) that people can *see* more than they do both in the metaphorical as well as in the literal sense of the word.

As a person who is currently under going regular hypnotherapy I can say I "see" you point well.

There have been a few sessions where we seem to make a lot of progress, after which I have difficulty seeing.  I usually have to sight there for a bit untill things return to "normal".  

However after a recent session, after an extream jump in progress, my eye sight did not return to normal untill the next day.  It was not so much that I could not see or could not see clearly but my enviroment was in a state of constant flux.  I would lets say look at a chair, at first it did not register as being a chair, then my vision would go blurry really fast and clear right back up.  At that point I would realize what I was looking at, but after that it would then again change.  The object would look like it was moving or the area around it moved, or warped.  It was very difficult to try function like that.

David,

one the one hand it is perhaps heartening to think that something is working with the hypnotherapy and things are changing, I agree that it is difficult to function when the floor is becoming warped (I have experienced this and it is very disturbing apart from practically difficult to navigate).

Have you discussed this with your hypnotherapist? What is their explanation for this?

L.

[cainam_nazier]

Well she attributed the my visual difficulties to how long and how deep she had me under.  This being that I may have been expirencing side effects of what we were working on which was a removal of an energy.  The energy in question is creating memories and reliving some of them.  Some would say this was past life memories but it is not.  They are external.  

The bit we were working on at the time the person was being drugged a lot, and I mean a LOT.  She kind of thinks that the visual problems were because caused by the memory of being drugged.  The memories being so fresh and mentally impacting that the mind was creating the physical side effects of being doped up.

Throwing certain mental switches is one of my long term goals with this but we are currently working on cleaning up the mess in my brain.  

It would be interesting to me if certain things can be accomplished with the aid of meditation and hypnotherapy to get the body more intune with what the concious mind wants.  One being better eye sight.

Yeah that's the challenge - to get the right forms of communication between physicality, body mind and so forth. Hypnotherapy is ok I guess but I dislike passing over control to the operator to be truthful. I prefer the self help energy therapies because I like to know what's happening - at least for now.

Also, I am quite reluctant to make any great changes to any parts of my systems until I know a bit more about what is connected where. I have this notion that things are the way they are for a reason and find that interesting to attempt to figure out.

L.

[cainam_nazier]

I know what you mean about handing over the control part.  But I have found that what they say is true.  That being you can not be forced to do some thing under hypnosis that you would not normally do, or that your core beliefs do not allot for.  Now in extream cases this can be broken but there is a considerable amount of psychotherapy that needs to go with it.  

I have also found that for me that I have such clarity of thought when I am under.  I have full understanding of what is going on and I am totally aware of my enviroment.  We have found this to be kinda odd because me therapist said that every ones she treats tends no to hear anything outside of what she is telling them.  However the last time I was there I heard the guy in the office next door come in, go through his cabinet, and then leave.  My timing was off a little because it seemed like he was there a long time but it was only about 2 mins.

Kifyre said "When engaged in the act of viewing, place and maintain awareness at the back of your head."

This is also the technique that is used for PhotoReading by Pete Bissonette.  Go to www.photoreading.com for more info.  Photoreading is like speedreading.  You keep your awareness at the back of your head, and gulp in the information.  You digest the info later.

Anyhow, that is a bit off topic.  I just wanted to add that energy movment helped my eyesight.

First of all, my eyesight was never bad, but eventually I needed glasses to use the computer and for reading.

I tried several things:  I used energy movement and awareness on my eyes and head.  I reduced the amount of caffiene and sugar I was consuming.  I reduced my stress and got back into a physical exercise program.  I stopped using my glasses, even though it was uncomfortable.

Now I don't need glasses.  My eyes are still sensitive to bright sunlight, not sure why that is, but my vision problems went away.  I think all of those things helped.  The scientific mind in me would say the energy movement/awareness couldn't have possibly worked, but it helped several other things.

It helped a pinched nerve in my neck, a sprained ankle, shortened colds, warmed my feet when my shoes froze after running through streams in the winter, alleviated back pain, etc...

Even after all of this, I didn't think of using it to fix my chronic shoulder condition until a few days ago.  I dislocated it several times in my stupid teens/early twenties.  When I turned 29, I overused it playing computer games! (duh) and it wouldn't work properly since.  (Great pain, limited motion, the bone in the back sticks out at a funny angle.)  In order to raise my right arm over my head, I would have to grab it with my left hand.  This stayed like this for 2 years.

A couple days ago, I started to do energy awareness on the shoulder, and stretch it, do pushups, etc...  Today, I noticed that I can lift my right arm straight up without help from my left!  (first time in 2 years)  It still doesn't feel 100%, but it is a lot better than it was.

BTW, I tried exercises without the energy movement and awareness actions earlier on, and it had no effect, in fact, it made it worse.

Just a little story about what energy movment/awareness with some exercise and positive thinking can do!

Hey all, seeing this topic pop up again reminded me to update. My eyes are still improving. I'm going to get another objective measurement at the optometrist within two months. My latest acquisition:

www.mindandsight.com

Basically,

1) learning to blink correctly

2) learning how to relax, and maintain it when you're seeing so that you actually see what you're looking at without unconsciously straining or psychologically disengaging. This double wammy allows the eyes to actually heal on their own because you're using them correctly as best you can.

[kampersdream]

excellent topic, i too wear glasses and hate them. i have used energy to cure myself of colds, stuffy nose ect, but have never thought of trying to cure my eyesight. guess i just took it for granted that i would always need glasses. thanx for the idea [8D]. i'll be sure to let everyone know if it helps.

Kampersdream,
How do you use energy to clear blocked nose and cold? It's been a great problem for me especially when in air-con.
Thanks a zillion.

As part of my healing process I have had a complete healing of my eyesight - even my optometrist was surprised!  Actually I have had a healing of all my physical senses - including hearing and voice.

I think all illness is a reflection of what is happening with us as individuals and with society on a spiritual level.  Given that so many people wear eyeglasses there is likely a generally accepted cultural belief that we are holding that is not in harmony with the universe.  Personally I think we need to explore all of our societal beliefs and whether they are in harmony with the universe -- for instance, our concepts of love, freedom, peace, family, life, truth.  Here are some methods that I used that contributed to the healing of my eyesight:

1) Tell God/Universe that you want to "see" all, that you want to "see" clearly, God should not hold anything back, you are willing to challenge any belief no matter hold sacred it has been to you.  (Here is an example of one of my revelations - My mother wasn't a saint, she put a lot of shame on me as most mothers do, our whole system of raising children is one of conditional love not unconditional, much of what we call love is a "need" for another person and does not have much to do with anything that the universe would define as love)

After you ask this question, pay attention to what comes up for healing - relationship with mother, father, kids, spouse.  Where ever emotions of shame, fear, guilt, etc. have been put on us we must allow ourselves to "feel" those emotions in order to release them.

2) Stare at the ceiling - I spent many hours laying on the couch just staring at the ceiling.  I guess it was a type of meditation - this is often when emotional issues would come up for healing.  The first issue you will likely have to deal with is the guilt of "wasting time", "not being productive", being "lazy".  These are all ways we shame people in our society for not conforming to society's belief system.  Over a six month period I probably spent anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a night just laying there staring, resting, meditating, reflecting - whatever - just laying there, just "being"!

3) Stare at the ceiling without blinking - At first I could only keep my eyes open for a few seconds without blinking but then progressed to much longer periods.  Again this is symbolic, but it works.  What are we blinking out?  What do we not want to see?  Let the universe know that you wish to keep your eyes "wide open" and see all - not blink out all the stuff that you don't care to look at.

4) Try to focus on the space in between yourself and the ceiling.  It is surprising how much stuff there is to be seen in what we consider "empty space".  Again this is part of "seeing all" not just the stuff we have been trained to see.  

5) Quit watching tv - well this one is up to you, but I have not watched tv for about two years now and I think this has contributed tremendously to my healing process.  It's not so much that tv is directly bad for your eyes, but every moment we watch it it is telling us - this is how to be, how to act, this is what is important, these are the things you should pay attention to.  It doesn't leave much room for looking inside and challenging society's belief system.  

Hope some of this helps.  Lots of Luv - Linda.

ame- to clear a stuffy nose, when doing regular NEW energy raising i alternate between raising energy to the sub-navel storage center and raising energy to my heart, pausing a moment and moving the energy to the affected part. for example, on the in breadth i will raise the energy to the heart chakra, pause and with the out breath i'll push the energy to the affected area. this has worked well for simple ailments, curing my eyesight will be my first major test. after almost a week i am begging to feel a bit of change. let me know if my little method works for your colds []

20/20 Vision Quest
You can improve your eyesight by regularly performing this series of simple exercises.

By Cybèle Tomlinson

When you look at Meir Schneider, founder and director of the Center and School for Self-Healing in San Francisco, his striking eyes are what you see first. The left eye angles slightly inward and is somewhat murky; the right one is focused and alert.

The fact that Schneider is able to see is nothing short of extraordinary: He was born cross-eyed with microopthalmy (a small eyeball), glaucoma (excessive pressure on the eyes), astigmatism (an irregular curve of the cornea), nystagmus (involuntary shifting of the eyes), and cataracts (an opacity of the lens). At the age of 6, after enduring numerous painful and unsuccessful operations, he was pronounced legally blind.

Schneider credits his restored vision to his practice of yoga for the eyes. These techniques are based on the Bates Method of vision improvement, developed around the turn of the century by ophthalmologist William Bates, who believed that eyes which were capable of deteriorating were also capable of improving. Over the course of his controversial career, Bates developed an extensive training program for the eyes. He argued that the eyes must be relaxed in order to see well.

Schneider began the Bates Method at age 17. He practiced relaxing the eyes for up to 13 hours a day. "The results were so dramatic when I began to work on myself," he says. "Seeing light—when it happened—was such a dramatic thing that nothing could stand in my way." At the same time, he also discovered how to relax his body and move more freely. Eventually, Schneider gained enough vision to read, walk, run, and even drive.

Since that time, Schneider, who holds a Ph.D. in healing arts, has made helping others with vision limitations his life's work. He began by concentrating on the eyes and then moved to the whole body, aiding those living with muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and polio.

The Psychology of Seeing

Schneider's techniques are remarkably simple, but you have to be able to abandon your preconceived notions of what eyesight is and how it works.

Seeing involves not just the eyes but the brain. According to Schneider, "Seeing is largely a function of the mind, and only partly a function of the eyes. There are 80 to 110 million rods and 4 to 5 million cones with which the retina senses light. A billion images are produced in the retina every minute. But the brain can't assimilate all these images: It's selective, and determines how much of a picture you will or won't see. It also determines how clear or how fuzzy your vision will be." For instance, when you're bored, your mind tells your eyes not to look, and after awhile that's what happens: You stop looking.

However, there is a demand to see, and in order to do so, we often squint, strain, and stress the eyes. We further abuse our eyes by reading late into the night, watching television, working long hours on computers, and focusing for too long. "How you use your eyes determines their structure," says Schneider.

Yoga for the Eyes

Schneider begins his own eye program with palming, massage, blinking, and shifting—exercises which should be done in a relaxed, effortless way. If there is tension in the body, then the exercises will only encourage current habits. In all exercises, keep your breathing deep and full.

Palming.

Palming, which was originally invented by Tibetan yogis, is done in darkness with the palms cupping the eyes. Palming soothes the optic nerve, which is often irritated. Sit in a darkened room with your elbows leaning on a table. Relax your back and shoulders, rub your hands together vigorously to warm them, then place your palms over your eyes. Don't press the eye sockets and don't lean on the cheekbones. Visualize total blackness, the most relaxing color for the brain, and breathe deeply. Let the blackness permeate everything: your eyes, your whole body, the room you sit in, the city, the state, the continent, the planet, the stars, the universe.

You may see all kinds of lights, which is an indication of irritation in the optic nerve. In fact, you may not see total darkness until you have completed several palming sessions. Palm for as long as is comfortable.

Massage.

Rub your hands together to warm them and then rub the fingers up the bridge of the nose and across the eyebrows to the temples. Find the grooves in the eyebrows and massage them. Then rub the fingers from the nose to the cheekbones and to the ears. Finally, run your fingers across your forehead. Facial massage helps dissolve tension in the eyes, bringing them to a more relaxed state. Massage of the face, head, and body can facilitate this process.

Blinking.

Often our tendency is to fall into a kind of myopic stare, especially when under stress. This strains the eyes unnecessarily. Blinking helps keep the eyes moist and tension-free, and increases circulation in the eyes. Begin reprogramming yourself by opening and closing the eyes very softly and gently. Then visualize the eyes blinking. Imagine that it's the eyelashes which open and close the eyes. Breathe deeply. Apply this technique whenever you look at something, gazing in a soft way and blinking frequently. If the eyes are behaving in this way, then they can't be tense.

Shifting.

This involves flitting the eyes rapidly from detail to detail and encourages the eyes to engage with the world and pick up on more details. Normal eyes shift naturally, making many micromovements per second.

Shifting works by engaging the macula, the central part of the retina, which is responsible for clear, detailed vision. By moving the eyes frequently, more information comes through this part of the retina, thus providing the eyes with more in-focus visual information.

Practice by moving your eyes from point to point on whatever you're looking at. Forget the name of the thing you're seeing, and look at its individual parts. Never strain or force yourself; always look with "soft" eyes.

According to Schneider, there are many people who have healed their eyes using these exercises. One woman came to him after being blinded in one of her eyes by flying glass. After she did three long palming sessions—each lasting several hours—she could see light and shadow with her blind eye. In her other eye, her vision went from 20/16 to 20/6.

Another dramatic case is that of an elderly pharmacist who was referred to Schneider after surgery for macular degeneration. The surgery left him with damage to his central vision, thus causing him to see images in multiple. These images were fuzzy and had no depth; the pharmacist's vision measured 20/400. After working with Schneider for six months, his vision was 20/25.

Most of us, thinking these eye conditions are inevitable and unchangeable, simply opt for corrective lenses. But there is a danger in taking this route, because glasses encourage the shape of the eye to remain the same. "Yes, you put on glasses and you can see 20/20, but with time you come to depend on them," says Schneider. "People believe that vision can only deteriorate, not improve. But eyes can improve, and they do improve, given the right conditions."

Thanks a bunch Kampersdream. I guess I'll have to wait for a while before using your tech as I'm very new to NEW and I'm still trying to loosening up my secondary and not yet to do energy raising which I hope to be able to do soon. I'll let you know about the result.

[TheSeeker]

Also, there are books on seeing auras with exercises intended to workout your eyes. May help.  One thing I think western medicine has done to us is make us reliant on treatment (i.e. glasses/contacts).  Why? You make more money off of a treatment then you do a cure.

I havn't worn my contacts for 2 years and one of my eyes actually improved, why just 1? I don't know.

[hypnotist]

Hi everyone,

Hypnotist(Certified)

Everyone that gos into hypnosis is always in control of their actions mentally and physically.  The person only takes the suggestions that they want to take and use.

Alot of people still see hypnosis as a scary thing. All hypnosis is self hypnosis, the hypnotist is only a guide.

Most people see hypnosis on tv the movies and on stage and they thing they have the whole picture of what hypnosis is.  What you see on tv movies or stage shows is only 1/16 of what it really is and what it can do by you.

Before one puts it down do some reasearch or take a class.  Its the same with Astral Projection if you never experienced or studied it. It would be scary or its imposible to do.

Sincerely,
Hypotist

Hmm my eyesight was realy poor and i thought i needed better glasses but after doing a few exercises (from the free ebook mentioned earlier ). My sight recovered somewhat . Ive desided that im not gonna use glasses unless i need to see things far away.

Perhaps it realy can work ,time will tell. And ill post if i start seeing even better.

[Jon_88]

My Lord . I never thought it would work this fast !!!!!
Im halvway trough this bookhttp://i-see.org/perfect_sight/
and only today done any serius testing (lay the glasses on shelf yeasterday).  

My sight have improved atleast a full glass size the last quarter.
I test myself with a printed snellen test on the wall.
Just cant belive it ! sight truly is mostly in the mind.

Ohhh and im pretty furius at being conned into getting glasses , thought my optician may just had the best intencions for me . If i hadnt gotten stronger glasses about 8 months ago , i would be about normal vision with the improvement i just had.

But now i truly belive i can get normal vision without surgery . This is like NEW for the eyes , heck i think its better than new .
It is just as simple and gives better sight!

Anyone else seeing the light(better)?[]
