Whether it’s breaking out a new calendar or just the idea in our minds, the coming of the new year is a great marker for starting something new, or coming back to something old that needs revisiting in a new way. My goal is to get you to give a little of this year’s attention to your eyesight, that most precious of our senses.
It helps when we remember that 90% of the sensory information we live by comes in through our eyes. It’s motivating to think that we support this most vital of senses with ¼ of the body’s nutrition, and ⅓ of the body’s oxygen intake.
A few simple ways you can recharge your vision and body care this month include: more…
Whether you are a beginning vision improvement student or have been practicing for a while, maintaining the good body habits and skills that come with the basic vision activities is very important. Like a martial artist who practices all the forms from white belt to black, vision students benefit from reviewing the foundation activities to ensure they haven’t dropped off some of the important basic principles. more…
Below is a letter written by Patricia Carrington Ph.D. of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Piscataway, NJ. It lays out some interesting concepts about the way we have been taught to think about our eyes and eyesight.
In a book written many years ago, the then Director of the General Electric Company’s Lighting Research Laboratory, Dr. Matthew Luckiesh, asked his readers to imagine what would happen if “crippled” eyes “could be transformed into crippled legs.” His comments were: “If this (transformation) happened, what a heartrending parade we would witness on a busy street! Nearly every other person would go limping by. Many would be on crutches and some in wheelchairs.” He was at that time referring to the widespread use of eyeglasses (now we would add to this the even more widespread use of contact lenses) on a PERMANENT basis, as usually being the sole treatment for eyesight problems. Many years later, that is still, regrettably, the case. more…
In our last two articles I spoke about the importance of right-brain function for relaxation, and the power of our imagination to bring about physical and emotional changes. In this article we are going to learn a game that utilizes sensory input and these concepts to affect our feelings and physical state.
This activity is done while Palming, an ancient technique for promoting healing in the eyes. Palming combines sending healing energy through the palms of your hands into the eyes and visual system, and resting the retinal cells in the soothing darkness. While Palming you can use the power of your mind to achieve a variety of different effects on both your inner world and more…
When teaching vision improvement I have the intriguing job of impressing upon students the need for enjoyment in their endeavour. Myopes like to do things perfectly and correctly at all times, so they often take some convincing that doing their vision activities with strict adherence to a schedule and a rigid style of compliance is not the process we are looking for.
The same applies to parents teaching their own children Natural Vision Improvement, where the parents are there to do a job (which is important and often emotionally laden for them). This style of working can quickly become boring, stressful and creates resistance in the child.
In these logic and language oriented times we often leave behind the benefits and powers that our ‘right-brain’ and its ability to imagine can bring us. In recent times sports coaches have been using the power of imagination to increase the skills and abilities of athletes. These same techniques can benefit us in many ways in our lives.
The brain doesn’t know the difference between an event that is real and one that is vividly imagined. This can be used to train the brain and affect the body. In fact it is happening all the time without us really being aware of it. Let’s start to use this feature of our brain/body connection for our own good. more…
Vision improvement works well in group settings as the questions that other students ask are often important to all of us, even if we didn’t think to ask them ourselves. Also knowing the changes and improvements that others are experiencing can really help to put our own experience into perspective. Being able to teach vision improvement via home kit and the internet is wonderful of course, but we still need that element of support and encouragement from the experiences of others. I hope to bring you this kind of group feeling and inspiration with articles such as this one. more…

More detailed fusion activities are available in our book
One of those everyday astonishing things that we don’t much notice is the way that our brain merges the input from our two separate eyes into one indistinguishable image. This act is called fusion and for those who are doing it, it is as natural and unconscious as breathing. When we decide to give it some attention we can enhance and improve it and achieve some amazing effects on our visual system. more…
