What Do My Emotions Have To Do With My Vision?
This afternoon I participated in an EFT (“tapping”) webinar with my teacher Carol Look, where she talked about asking for and accepting guidance. Many people are afraid of the guidance which might come in, since it could say something … more...
Making Friends With Darkness
Several years ago, I participated in 2 intense week-long workshops with Peter Grunwald, who developed the Eyebody Method of vision improvement. Peter improved his own vision from -10 or so to 20/20. He claimed that one of the main practices … more...
Your Improvement Journey Is Unique!

Energy Medicine And Vision
In the years I’ve been studying and practicing energy medicine with my teacher Deborah King, I’m seeing over and over how much it has to do with supporting a healthy body and mind and spirit, and also with healthy … more...
Notice When You Stop Looking
Do you stop looking when you take off your glasses? When you have to look at something you don’t like? What makes you “tune out” visually? This can be important information if you’re wanting to improve your vision. If your … more...
I Want to See It All At Once!
If you have natural healthy vision, your eyes are constantly making tiny movements (called saccades) to scoop up many different light waves. Then these are converted to electrical signals and transferred to the brain, to paint a rich full picture … more...
Do Your Eyes Reflect Your Self-Care?
It’s a cliché that the eyes are the windows to the soul, a view to our inner being. What were my eyes showing about me when I was a child, trapped behind strong thick glasses? I was not happy, and … more...
Look At Something Different!
The mind likes novelty, which draws its attention. That’s how we learn. If you think “Been there, done that!”, you’ll pass the experience by, assuming it has nothing to give you that you don’t already have. Could some vision problems … more...
What Did You Make It Mean?
Let’s say you’re the only child. Then Mom has a new baby, and you think “I’m not enough — she’s trying to replace me!”. Maybe years later, with an adult viewpoint, you see this in a very different light. Mom … more...
Train Vision
Last week I took a couple of train rides to attend a workshop. The first was south along the Hudson River to NYC, and the second east along the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound. I was struck by how … more...

All my life I’ve had rich detailed dreams. When I started vision improvement, dream after dream came to me about seeing, or about glasses or contact lenses, or the eye chart, or other vision practices. It was as if the … more...
Don’t Just Look, Connect!
When I started vision improvement 15 years ago and thought about my visual habits, I was dismayed to find I wasn’t truly looking at anything. I’d take a big visual gulp of an entire scene, then examine that in my … more...
What Happened Before Your Vision Got Worse?
Most physical problems don’t happen “out of the blue”. Something in the person’s habits precedes them, whether it be a poor diet or lack of exercise or a negative angry attitude. The same is true of vision problems — the … more...
Are Your Eyes Having Fun?
Dr. Bates wrote about “optimums”, objects you enjoy looking at, so see more clearly than you’d expect. This could be a letter which seems clearer and darker than other letters of the same size on a row of the eye … more...
My Myopia, Or My Mother’s?
One of the limiting beliefs I like to challenge with clients is “This was a problem with all my family members, so of course I’ll have it too.” Maybe, and maybe not! Yes, you may have the same genetic material … more...
The Benefits of Blinking
Those new to vision improvement, eager to do everything right, may ask “How often should I blink?”. Well, it depends. If I asked you “How often should I take a breath?”, wouldn’t you want to know if I was resting … more...
Killing the Fight-or-Flight Response
Do you ever notice the “deer in the headlights” look is common in people with myopia? As if their glasses somehow freeze their eyes in place? And as if they can’t totally relax, and yet they can’t react appropriately to … more...
I’ve Tried Everything!
Many of us who have a tendency towards myopia are over-doers. If a little is good, a lot must be great! “Trying too hard” makes no sense to us — how can you get anything done if you don’t try?… more...
