Dear Maria,
Just wanted to share something I thought of when reading your latest post.
Have you tried the pinhole glasses? I know there has been some controversy over whether they work long-term, but I do know (from experience) that they at least give support to people who are on an eye exercise programme.
You can't wear them whilst driving, as sun glasses, or when there isn't a lot of light around such as at home in the evening, but I find they are excellent when at the computer and watching TV! And I always wear them for several hours before an eye test - in fact, I never put on my ordinary glasses on the day of an eye test, even if that means I have to take the bus to get there!
Love, Suzanne

Hi there, I've just spent the last hour or so reading all the messages here, and I thought I'd add my bit. I started the vision programme nearly a year ago, thanks to a friend of mine who got all the way through. I'd never have believed it possible, but here I am, a year later, still working on it but getting results.
Now for something interesting: When you don't get the results you want, you feel that you're failing somewhere. Try turning this on its head: if you were deteriorating at the speed you're currently improving, would you be frightened? I certainly would! So you have to bend your perception in that direction.
I've done a bit of calculating. My speed of improvement seems to be constant - one month for each year deteriorating. I've just spent the past 7 months not changing much, and that corresponded to the main period of stability in my eyesight - when it was -2.5 which it is again now... I'm starting to improve again a bit, and I'm quite sure the pace will be slow but steady, just like the initial deterioration, but I reckon in a year or so I might reach 0. Has anyone else tried this kind of calculation? It's like going back in time and getting younger. We are all invincible! Gilly

Hmm.
Could be a bit discouraging for someone who has been wearing glasses for twenty years or so.
Anyway, progress is progress, and as you say, that's what should be the focus.

I have been wearing glasses for the past 20 years!
What I intended to contribute was the idea that we all have our own timescales. We're not all the same, and our eyesight problems stem from all kinds of sources (usually mixed, I would think). The 'two-month promise' in the book is something to work towards, but what happens if, after 2 months, you've not reached your goal? A lot of people would just give up, because they don't think they're capable of doing it, when in actual fact they simply need more time.
I'm sorry you found my observation discouraging, Martin. However, it's been the key element in keeping me going through the plateau phases, and I thought it might give hope to others in the same position Gilly

That's okay, Gilly.
You are right in saying that we work according to different time tables - and when the process is not complete after two months, the idea is to see the degree of improvement, and take it from there.

Hi Gilly,
I agree with your idea about the time healing could take. I am nearsighted (minus 4) and this began 26 years ago.
It is now 4-5 months that I decided to get rid of my glasses and recover a clear vision. I first wanted to put a dead line and do it in 3 months but then decided it would be better not to stress my mind with limits. I did palming, I am used to use the sun as a healer since many years (never had a single trouble in my eyes, despite what most people would tell about "burning" the eyes) did exercices and I feel very confortable with the Huxley's method of blinking and stopping on some word when reading and so on...
Now, I notice improvement, my lenses are too strong so that I wear glasses with less correction. I often take off my glasses (impossible with lenses) and I often get flashes of very clear vision. This last only a micro-second but this inform my mind that I am on the good way. I also know that in YX time, I will be able to see like this all the time. I do understand that time limit is a very good stimulator but it is also a bit descouraging when you to not reach the goal.
During the Intensive Healing w-end I did, I spoke with people who had recover a clear visision, most of them very quickly, some just during a 4 days healing or a week end healing. But... must of them told me that three months after, something happened and their vision was again in trouble.
For one of them it has been clearly linked with the separation with his girl-friend but for the other no clear point appear. I wonder why for these 4 different personns, it appear 3 months after the healing ?
To be honnest, I also meet people who healed and happily they still see clearly without any means.
Be tender with ourself and in the same time persevere.
I am looking forward for the day I shall write on that page that lenses and glasses are part of my previous life ; - )
Kind thoughts to all of you
Kim

When people go into the old way of thinking that was associated with the symptom, then they go back into the symptom.
Sometimes life presents a situation similar to that which the symptom was a response to - and then, the person needs to insist on a different response, in order to stay in the state of consciousness that represents clarity for them. They need to do something different, think something different, respond differently, in a way that does not leave them with tension.

Hello Everyone!
After my post last week, I've been mulling over the situation. I sincerely appreciate your replies, and thank you for your support. I feel so much love on this forum---its like the computer screen radiates love and positive energy every time I visit.
My focus has shifted from the mechanics to the feeling. Instead of making sure I do all the steps every day (yes, I made myself a schedule), I'm more relaxed now and can quietly sit back and observe myself and my vision. And yes, there has been improvement, though slight. I know I have turned a corner and am walking down "improving eyesight street" whereas before I was on "deteriorating eyesight street."
And since I am more relaxed about it, I am finding that I enjoy the journey a bit more too. It's exciting to be able to read a sign that I could not previously read, and now it feels more like a discovery or game than a test.
I'm getting excited again.....
Peace,
Maria

Yes - the background feeling of "I'm in a state of improvement" really helps the process.
You can also notice how far away you notice bricks in a building, and how that continues to get closer.

My glasses are hiding from me!
Though my vision isn't yet clear, my glasses seem to want to disappear all the time now. I usually keep them in my coat pocket, just in case I need them to drive. Three times over the last week they've somehow gotten out and I had to hunt them down.
Last Sunday I wanted to take them to the health expo so I could read the booth signs and recognize friends from a distance and I looked for 15 minutes and couldn't find them. So I left. When I came home later they were sitting right on the counter, in plain sight. And no one else was home.
Tonight I went to put them on when I left work because it was dark out. They weren't in my coat. I have to admit it was very scary driving home in the dark with no glasses and I'm sure I made a few people angry because I was going very slowly in spots but I made it. And where were the glasses? Right in the middle of the diningroom table.
So the glasses definitely want to go....just need to get the sight up to safe levels for driving.
Peace,
Maria

Hahahahahaha Oh Maria you made me laugh so much! Maybe you should fire your house elf It's not your glasses trying to tell you something, it's your eyes doing that selective vision thing. They don't want to see your glasses, so you don't see them. There's no point resisting. Maybe you sould try raking out all your old pairs of glasses and keeping a stash in the car, which sounds like the only place you really need them. Then you'll find out if you've got goblins (not very likely) or if it's just your superior inner self trying to get the message across. happy weekend to all gilly

Hi Maria, Or maybe if you chose too, you could realise that you have already driven home without them and if other people didn't like it so what, while driving slowly you were just being yourself, Maria, feeling cautious and a bit vunerable driving without any glasses, I reckon many of us feel like that the first time we drive, never mind the firat time we drive without glasses, it'll get easier and instead of worrying if you can do it, you've already done it so next time might be easier. Well done, I'm getting excited just reading these posts. Keep it up, I'm following, Alice

Doctors think that I have pneumonia/ COP. Bronchoscopy done today. I am a 45 year old female. Very healthy "normally". Chest xray reveals non-resolved pneumonia for 2 months. Multiple antibiotics. What do you think?

Oh and by the way "COP" stands for Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia

Should be on the Healing Message Board, rather than this one - but anyway, see if there is someone close to your heart that you have been angry at.
How has the area of relationships been for you?
You can answer on the other message board - start a new thread called, "Pneumonia."
