Hello everyone
I just wanted to share my vision "success story so far" with you all.
Since first attending a Body Mirror Intensive with Martin three years ago, I have been working on improving my vision. During that time I have been totally committed to only wearing my glasses when I absolutely have to, and to noticing the variations in my vision which are sometimes prolonged and sometimes momentary. For me, the liberation from glasses an contact lenses has been as important as the ultimate goal of improved vision.
Over these three years I have experienced at times great encouragement and at times huge frustration in the process of improving my vision. As much as I have had to think about working on my solar plexus and root chakras, I have had to realise the importance of having a positive sense of expectation, and of staying with the process as it unfolds, whilst also remaining emotionally unattached to an end goal. For me that means not thinking about wishing I could see clearly, but instead focussing being more and more myself, moment to moment, and learning to trust that the rest will all take care of itself .
So when I went for an eye test a few days ago, I hoped to hear news of some improvement. And I also felt that it would be okay if there were none, or if it were negligible. I wasn't experiencing the stress of wishing my consciouness were clearer as I had at times in the past.
So I was delighted when I heard that the improvement in both my eyes was significant.
In the left, my prescription has gone from -3.75 to -2.5, and in the right from -6.5 to -4.5. The relatively strong astigmatism in the left that was first detected when I was seven has healed entirely, as has the milder one in the right which had been around for a few years.
I am so pleased with this news. I am aware that progress for me has been slower than may be necessary, or than I may have wished along the way, but it's definite and moving in the direction of clarity. I am more and more accepting of taking my own time with the changes I need to make, and I have a renewed confidence in my ultimate picture of one day applying for a new "without glasses" driving license.
With love and hugs to all
Caroline
