Dear Martin, Last year I bought both your books and started to work on improving my vision. I found that every few days of doing eye exercises an event would take place which I couldn't cope with. I might deal with it at the time but I decided to allow my whole system to plunge into despair and to affect my work and personal life. Usually after a week I would have been for healing and started to move on with my life. But I started to avoid the eye exercises as I didn't want to have to deal with all the things this might throw up. This week I started them again as I know avoiding issues is causing a build up within my physical body and I am slowly or maybe more quickly killing myself. I did the exercises once felt good, 2 hours later I spoke out when someone was being criticised. I could see that this has never been acceptable and I could no longer accept that energy around me. I received in return a very strong verbal attack and although I could see others present were not happy about the situation they sat and sealed their lips shut. Later my partner vented their anger towards me saying that this was how that person was, I had always known that, they had a right to be where they were and I didn't. As I knew this person would alwys do this why did I go there. I know that I go there because I feel lonely. I know I need to work with loneliness as it has been a big issue for me and more so since this happened. How do I do this? I would love to go and do the vision class and now I can see how much money I have spent on other things all year in an effort to get myself into a financial situation where I could afford to go without feeling I was taking away from the family budget. It would have been much cheaper for me to just have done the course at the start of the year. I like to tell myself that it would be a safer environment in which to regain my eyesight but I am also afraid that if one little set of eye exercises bring up the kind of week I've had to deal with what worse stuff could a weekend of it bring up. I see I'll just have to plunge on in and find out instead of making up pros and cons lists. But what do I work on in the meantime to make that step easier, more appealing, etc?

HI RD, Thanks for starting this thread. I just got Martin's books and I'm making my way through "Anything Can be Healed" at the moment. Awesome book! I did take a sneak peak at "Improve Your Vision" though and I can't wait to get started! Just ironing some thing out in my life first so I can commit to the program. I know exactly what you mean about a few little exercises opening the flood gates. I have felt the same way at times. It's interesting that something you once "grinned and beared it" is now unacceptable. On one hand you're absolutely right. No one deserves to be critcized. But at the same time, everyone DOES have the right to live their own reality. So it was up to that person (not you) to speak up if this behavior was unacceptable. So if it were me I would refuse to be a participant in that type of behavior (walk away, take a break, etc.) but I'd leave it up to the people involved to work it out for themselves. Having said that, if someone treats me like that I say something like "this is not the kind of treatment I expect from my (coworkers, spouse, neighbor, etc.). I'll be happy to talk with you later when we've both had time to calm down and can discuss the issue reasonably." Then I walk away. It generally deflates them a bit and later we can and do have a nice discussion and get a whole lot more accomplished that we would have otherwise. It takes courage to stand up in this way, and if you've never done it before people will be a bit shocked at first but they'll get used to it. You owe it to yourself to stand tall and be proud of who you are Peace, Maria

RD, I know you are looking for a comment from Martin and even though I did not read the Vision book I know some ways you can release trauma using your eyes. As I said, I don't know what's in the book or if it mentions trauma release, but I use RET, Rapid Eye Technology, in my Energy Practice and once the trauma is accessed with eye movements, we use rapid blinking and eye patching to restore balance, along with an energy alignment with EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques. I would be happy to give you some info so you can continue your vision exercises without distress. My email is Carole@energyhealingzone.com. Namaste` Carole

Thanks Carole, Would you believe I had come across an article on EFT two days ago, rang a made an appointment for today! I am delighted to get your message as I don't usually follow my instinct this quickly and I have been looking forward to the appointment. I already believe in synchronicity but you are a soul mate! Will tell you how I get on. Thanks again.

Thanks also Maria for your comment, just accessed the last comment on this thread and went straight into the reply without checking for others. The person being criticised was not present and I see now that I could have said "perhaps you'd better take this issue up with them". But its good to get other people's perspective. Must go I've an appointment to get to.

Hi, Yesterday I had the appointment for EFT Emotional Freedom Technique. I don't feel lonely! I do feel as if my brain is thinking in a different way and am a bit uncomfortable with this. I really have been a "better the devil you know" person up until this. Since the session I have been doing the techniques and have been very aware that i no onger have to carry other people's stuff. I also feel this has released my need for co dependency and my first reaction was I want it back. It is strange to be able to clear so much stuff without a real hard slog. It has really made me aware of how much I put up with especialy in my relationship and I feel I am very near to letting it go as I deserve to be treated better and my partner deserves to know that he is capable of and has a duty to treat others and himself and his property with respect.

I haven't read Martins books yet so could any of you explain what "improve your vision" is about? I wear glasses and would love not to anymore. Is this the "vision" that the book explains about? Thanks.

As far as I know, and I haven't read the book, just about the book. it is about the physical sense of sight, which is a metaphor for our attitude/consciousness or vision, or outlook. So, to heal our sight we need to heal or outlook or vision. If you can't see things that are far away, it means you don't want to see in life what the future holds. The book deals with concepts similar to that whcih do improve sight. I think there are exercises for the eyes, also. I will get it eventually. Carole

RD, It would be helpful for you now to do the EFT tapping protocol saying something like,"I forgive myself on all levels eventhough I am attached to my co-dependency." Do 3 rounds of that and then 3 rounds of installing a new program to go by such as,"Thank you, God/Universe/Spirit that I choose freedom, I am free, I am loving every second of being me, depending on me and loving me." Say whatever is true for you while you are tapping. Remember that everything is perfect in a perfectly evolving universe. Everything that manifests can be looked at as a lesson for the advancement of our soul. So, you can look at this attachment to co-dependence as something you must learn from. When you do get the message and integrate it into your life, it will go. As they say, "Let go and let God." Namaste` Carole

Good morning (I'm in Canada), That is all great information and insight. I do not know what, "EFT tapping protocol" is but I think I understand what you are saying.
I have to find out more about my true beliefs to really work on myself and my vision.

Hi, RD,
Congratulations on speaking your mind, even though the aftermath was a bit difficult. You affirmed your right to say what you feel, and that's a good thing.
Consider what was going on in your life when the symptom began, and what it was that generated the fear in you, and the decision to hide inside. It is the sensitivities about that which created the resistance to progress with your eyesight.
Check out the affirmations in the book, and see which ones talk you on a particular day. Ask yourself what you need to affirm strongly that day. Read all the affirmations each day, and then pick the one for that day.
Keep a journal of your progress. It will be enlightening.

Ok folks,
I'm picking up the book "Improve Your Vision" right now...
Looking forward to some excellent reading and I'd love to have input from others who have read the book.
My intention is to read it once all the way through, then go back and start the 2 month program. I should be ready toward the end of November. If anyone else is ready to do the program too, it could be fun to have a "vision buddy." Kind of additional support and encouragement.
Can't wait to see the stars again....
Maria

I'm working at the techniques in the "Improve your Vision" book. I noticed the other day that when the phone rings I put on my glasses to answer it, at first I said it was in case I needed to look up anything or write something down and then I noticed that it made me feel safe and secure while I was in communication with the other person. My aim for today is to have a phone call without my glasses. I also picked out the affirmation Today I choose to see the love and suddenly I was able to see all my family, past and present with golden and white light love surrounding their hearts and I was able to let it into my heart, then I allowed the love to flow from my heart into theirs. I felt so loved and feel I had even closed down my heart a little with closing down on what I could see again for protection or security. I am contented with what I saw, yet still there is no change in my eyesight. I have to wear glasses for driving, shopping and doing housework, working on the computer or at paperwork. My eyesight is L-10.75 and R-10. I would like to keep working on my vision this time as I feel my life is improving, I have been finding it hard to keep at it but thought if I posted my results on here there would be more incentive for me and others to keep going.
