Anatomic Narrow Angle in Right Eye

[britgirlny]

I have a genetic disorder that makes me pre-disposed to Glaucoma, as a result I am monitored every 6 months by my eye doctor. On my last visit he told me that I have something called Anatomic Narrow Angle in my right eye. Apparently if this condition doesn't improve I could possibly lose the sight in my eye.
For some reason I have a morbid fear of anything being done to my eyes. Even the simplest of things, like putting eye drops in the eye is torture for me. (I have an identical twin sister who is exactly the same.) If the problem doesn't clear up my eye doctor has told me that I will have to have a procedure called Eye Irradiation -- which involves using a laser to make a hole in the eye to let light in. This is not an option for me!
I am a survivor of many other things, and I am determined to reverse this condition.
Any suggestions?

With the map that we use, the right eye is the Male Eye, or the Will Eye.

If we look at it as the Male Eye, blindness in that eye could be described as "not seeing the male." I would then look at how this might make sense to you, in terms of what was happening in your life when the symptom began. I would also wonder about your relationship with your Dad, and whether or not that was clear and open. If it was not open, I would then consider the possibility that your crown chakra closed, creating as an effect a sense of isolation which would make any kind of relationship difficult.

Glaucoma is about pressure, and seeing the world in a pressured way - creating pressure for yourself in the way you see the world, perhaps in relationship to men.

If we describe your right eye as your Will Eye, it would be something about tunnel vision concerning what you want - keeping yourself from seeing what you want, or having a limited view of that, with associated pressure.

Does any of this talk to you?

Ummh. Yes, a lot of it does talk to me. My father died several years ago. I did not go to the funeral as I hadn't had a relationship with him for over 20 years. I had however confronted him in a letter about the issues concerning our estrangement, prior to his death. I have also been in and out of therapy dealing with the issues for many years, and always felt that I had got closure. Maybe not. What, if anything would you suggest I do related to the lack of relationship with him and any residual effects in my life?

Also -- I am currently going through a divorce, the reasons for which are in no way related to the above issues. Or maybe they are indirectly... I found out about my genetic eye problem after my father's death, but before the end of my marriage. The Anatomical Narrow Angle was diagnosed just 2 months ago. Six months prior to that was a very stressful time in my life. (Actually 2 years and 6 months were very stressful.) Six months before the diagnose I sold the marital home, moved into a new place, which involved also moving my business and I started a new relationship.

I have never considered that I have had problems in my relationships with men. However, clearly I do, or I wouldn't be getting divorced!

I just ordered your book on improving vision. I have also been to my own hypnotherapist for the eye problem, am using self-hypnosis and today I have a session for myofacial (spelling?)work . (Working with my Hypnotherapist I sucessfuly beat neuropathy a few years ago -- which had been chemically induced by chemo, not to mention beating breast cancer!) I have no doubt that I will also beat this. However I am nervous because I have to go back in 4 months and have the eye tested again. I want to know that the problem will be gone by then!

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Sounds like you have closed your crown chakra, creating a sense of isolation, and also extrapolated from your father to men in general. I would say the right eye problems are not genetic, but rather reflecting how you felt about having unresolved stuff with your father when he died. The ANA, I would say, reflected a decision about being happy with a male partner in your life.

Opening the crown chakra would effectively remove the shell that had been around you, and could therefore end your sense of isolation. One way to do that would be to let in your father's love - or use other techniques you have come to work with and trust. The important thing, I would say, is that you know what the issues are that need to be resolved - and then you can look forward to your next examination and a very surprised doctor!
