Martin, in your book you wrote about nearsighted people:
"Nearsighted people often have an exceptional need for privacy and can be withdrawn from the world around them. They may feel intimidated by their environment, and have a sense of hiding inside."
I am farsighted and I also hide from outer world sometimes. I feel better when my space is protected and no one is entering in. Also I am often in future and I have fear of future. I can feel it in my root chakra. I can relate to what you wrote for farsighted people completely but I don't understand how come I can find myself in both perceptual filter.
And what if I feel better when I hide from others. Do I need to listen to it then or not? Should I hide until I feel safe when this happens or should I force to get courage? What would you recommend?

Farsighted people hold away a threatening world. Nearsighted people retreat inward away from a threatening world. Either way, both perceive a threatening world.
I am sure it does not feel good to hide, in any event - so consider just letting yourself be visible and release the tension that was in your consciousness about that.

I have an acquaintence who is farsighted and whenever I enter his space, or approach his space I sense the intrusion is not welcome. It's almost as though he is pushing others away. From what you and Martin say, could it be that my senses were correct all along?
I have no idea why I pick up on this, but it feels a very real perception to me...and one that I really do not like to be honest. I always find his essence to be rather cynical and judgemental, perhaps another mechanism to keep people away..

Sounds like your perceptions were accurate - and there could also be stuff with his crown chakra.

"whenever I enter his space, or approach his space I sense the intrusion is not welcome"
That is true, I also hate when someone come when I don't invite him or when someone force friendship. I feel my space is not safe then.
Martin, I have this problem that I don't know how to handle. When I do affirmations I try to be strong and I then my stomach becomes stiff because it seems that I push too much. Like I am attached to outcome. But how to feel strong and don't feel attached at the same time? Or should I just do affirmations and don't try to "energize" them? I feel that I need to be involved more somehow while repeating affirmations. What is the proper way to do it?

When you talk to yourself with affirmations, mentally agree with them inside as you are doing it. For example, when you say, "Every day in every way I am getting better and better," inside you can say to yourself, "Yes, that's true," and see what is better today than yesterday.
As you continue to do that, it will be easier and easier to agree inside, and you will see how the affirmations make more and more sense to you.

I tried to see only end result today of me being good and feeling good and just keep that in my mind and affirm that it is true and it helped but soon everything changed and it was shown to me how threatening world is. Suddenly everyone started to talk about money problem, on TV world crisis, my parents talked about money problems of other people and I felt so scared. I also remember it was always like that when someone is in danger either because of money, or their health and so on.. I fear for everyone! I don't feel safe at all. It is not me who is in danger but yet I feel the danger. It is same for the smallest thing and for the big thing. How can I change that? Should I see that I can help them or should I see that they are just fine and that world will be fine? I also fear for everyones life and so on.. It is very disabling feeling.

You are taking responsibility for them - but you are not responsible for them, and they are not responsible for you.
Take total responsibility for yourself, since you know that what happens in your life (and in your body) is the result of what you choose to think, do, and say - and when you have done that, you will also know that others are totally responsible for themselves, since it is whatever they choose to think, do, or say that creates what is happening in their life and in their body.

It helped but still I feel little guilt because I feel I could help. I hope it will end soon.
Is vision problem actually tension between yellow and brow chakra, soul and personality? They are not in alignment with each other?

If you can help, do it.
Yes, vision problems can be seen as non-alignment between personality and Spirit.

I have lots of tension in solar plexus and brow chakra and now I am having difficulty in recognizing what to do. I don't feel in the mood now for affirmation and when my mind tels me that I should do them, my brow chakra reacts strongly. So, is brow chakra telling me that I am keeping myself from doing affirmation or brow chakra is telling me that my mind is talking what I should do, instead of doing what is true for me from the soul level? I am unable to distinguish voice of insecurity from intuition. They are mixed up.

Just look at your everyday life, see what is going on and how you feel about it, and do what it takes for you to be happy.

Hi Martin Would you say that vision problems are then basically comprised of the following 2 components: fear of being judged, feeling threatened etc, and also not going for what makes us really happy (for fear of being judged)? Sometimes I get confused also about which issues relates to my myopia or to some other problem Thank you SG

Vision problems are basically issues of personal power - the person is not letting themselves be who they really are, and the kind of vision problem shows the way of being that the person adopted in response to a threatening world. See my article about this at www.healer.ch/visionarticle.html

HI Martin Thank you for this reminder! I tend to go in circles sometimes regarding this issue. With my other symptoms : I can see the difference in my way of being before and after the symptom and I can more easily resolve them and adjust accordingly. But with the myopia its harder for me to remember how I was "pre-myopia" since it happened at around age 12! I do remember that I never thought about other people's opinions or what fearful thing there was out there. I just concentrated on doing what I wanted to do. I will take the advice that you gave to Mario and Queen respectively - to let everyone be responsible for their own thoughts and feelings and also to "not" decide what others should do but decide what I want to do! Thank you again SG.
