Sounds like you are doing great, Alice.
Getting your eyes examined is a normal part of the completion, and you will also have to get a new driver's license saying you do not need eyeglasses. A new identity as a person whose normal state of eyesight is "normal."
Resistance to do this is a sign of insecurity that the results will not be what you want. After all, when you are healed, you are healed on all levels, including the physical, so in fact there should be an eager attitude aobut getting the feedback on the physical level that shows that this is true.

What a great first week Alice! Isn't it wonderful to be able to do things without your glasses that you previously always did with them.
*raises glass* Here's to clarity!

Hi I've just completed week 2 and yesterday started on week 3. This week I had more commitments but managed the hathat yoga exercises every day as I do them first thing each day. I've added a new affirmation, "My vision improves when I take action" as I've noticed there are many things I want to change in my life but I let them build up and get frustrated when nothing has changed. I've started to express myself more as when I'm annoyed or stressed I now realise this isn't helping my eyesight and my eyesight won't improve if I'm stressed so I have to do something about it. It is challenging but also freeing. I've had contact with lots of nice people this week so I am seeing things and others differently. I have worn my glasses a lot so for week 3 my aim is to do without them as much as possible. I have done love you eyes a few times this week and although I hated it at the start I decided to allow myself to believe that I had a lovely soul even If I couldn't always see it, at the start I saw emptiness and I decided during the week to accept that maybe the emptiness was just an illusion as I can't yet see clearly and to try believing that even if I can't see it yet, I have an abundant plentiful soul and my life is full of wonderful things and people. It's working!

Thank you Martin, I have been able to do the visualisation of being at the optician's and her saying how my vision has improved and there must have been some mistake, she's puzzled though as my vision has been deteriorating for 28 years. Today is start of week 4. The writing on this website appears larger! I have been wearing my glasses far more than I need to yet this morning after the hatha yoga exercises I could make out the z on the eye chart from across my kitchen table about 2 1/2 feet. There appeared to be a thick black horizontal line through the middle of the z. When I started this program all the letters on the top line had a white line going horizontally through the middle of them, so I see the improvement. I find I am more relaxed and have a more flowing day if I do the relaxation and hatha yoga exercises in the morning so I'm sticking to that part really well. My world keeps changing and I'm becoming more organised and can see how it will really help. The finances are improving too.Thank you for all your support.

Thank you Martin. Today is day 6 of week 4. I'm almost halfway through the 8 week program. I've notice if I don't do the Hatha Yoga exercises until evening I am seriously stressed out to the point of breaking. So there is a lot of stress in my life at present or else I see everything as stress related. I used to wake up with my right hand clenched tight in the morning, and clench it alot during the day, with the exercises and relaxation I see I do this less often although I'm still aware of it being more tense than the left hand. My main problem is I see that I am sabotaging myself, ie my attitude seems to be "I have so much to do and I'll never get it done," then I get overwhelmed and don't do anything to make a start so the next day there's all this previous stuff to catch up on plus todays stuff. I see this is stopping myself from allowing things to get done and life to flow. I don't know what to do about it though. I have wanted to give up this program more this week than any other time so I keep telling myself that means I'm very close but I am finding it very tough. Today I think I'll try listening to healing vibrations and see what happens. I am also having a soreness on both sides of my head on the soft area which is probably at the back of my eyeballs, this is worse when I put on my glasses. Any suggestions?

Well done Alice, you're doing brilliantly Don't worry about wanting to give up - it's just late winter blues. As soon as the sun comes out again your get-up-and-go will come back to you. And here was me thinking I was the only one struggling... I also have soreness round the same bit of my R eye as you mentioned. At first I thought it was 'just' eye strain, as I've had it since before I started the program, when that eye was deteriorating again. But it's also where one of the sinus cavities is located, very near the optic nerve and eye muscles... I'm doing extra hatha yoga, to really stretch my eye muscles, and I've managed to unblock my sinuses (though that particular cavity is the most difficult one) but during the exercises I can feel the muscles moving around that bit of my head (I can feel and hear them creaking like machinery!) . What I don't know is if the pain is due to muscle strain or gunk in the sinuses, or a combination of both. Glasses definitely make it worse though. And when I've been clenching my jaw in my sleep, it's worse too. (I clench my jaw rather than my fist, and the right side of my face is always more tense than the left) love , Gilly BTW Any suggestions for unblocking "lockjaw" are very welcome

Hi Alice,
You are doing incredibly well! I admire your tenacity and am following your progress with interest and trying to be as diligent as you. Please don't give up now! I know that feeling of overwhelm only too well. It's really a question of making lists and prioritising, putting your needs first, of course - easier said than done!
Gilly, just a quick snippet in case it means anything. For many years my daughter used to suffer on and off with a jaw that would seize or 'lock', especially when she was stressed. She had a particularly painful episode of this at age 18 (during exams) so we consulted a cranial osteopath. After a brief examination (feel) of her head and spine he told her she had fallen down the stairs at the age of 6 and injured her coccyx, and that this was the cause of her painful jaw! We were a bit surprised, but then we both remembered the incident and where it had happened. She had finished up in a sitting position on the bottom step, having rolled all the way down! At the time she was a bit sore, but we thought nothing more of the incident, and never related the jaw problem to it. Anyway,the osteopath treated her injured coccyx, she was able to take her exams and has never suffered the 'locked' jaw since, even though she has given birth 3 times!
Love and laughter to all,
Suzanne
PS I'm a bit puzzled about this, because the jaw is related to the Solar Plexus rather than the Root Chakra. (However, I am just discovering the connection between these two chakras for myself, through the vision work! The penny is dropping, guys! More on this later.)

Thanks Gilly and Suzanne for your posts. Gilly I have a tense jaw all the time too, I just forgot about it until I saw your post. Yes I see the sinus connection too. Have tried in the past to work at it but it is still there although only bothering me occasionally. I listened to the healing vibrations cd on 22nd and later made an appointment for acupuncture. The pain at the sides of my head was intense and I was finding it hard to think. I had my acupuncture yesterday and feel less stressed, although I feel it building up again this evening. There is a lot going on in my life right now and I've realised even a superhuman would be stressed. I'm working tomorrow training a class and there's lots to do for next week. I see that I regularly live life saying it'll be ok when I get that over, yet that gets replaced with something else. I've been choosing to do this, so I see I can choose to do differently. Today is first day of week 5. I've been telling myself that for the second half I'll step up my efforts by leaving my glasses in the car so I don't have easy access to them. That has to be my biggest challenge, along with doing nothing. Suzanne, maybe the jaw is Solar plexus because through expressing our wants, needs and desires we are accessing our power. I seem to have lots of underlying conditions that I've ignored for years and now I'm looking at them they're all willing to come out and play. I had a chat with my husband last night about his always normal vision. I asked if he felt he was always real. He said no, many times he felt he has been false but the way he expressed it was although he knows and sees other people have their views and opinions he still always prefers to stick with his own as if his view is the right one. I realise that I change my opinion or view of a subject or issue depending on what others express. I have thought of it as seeing anothers point of view but now I see it's ok for others to have their view but I live with mine so it should be right for me. Confused yet?

The pain in the temples is what I associate with the sense of not feeling seen as who you are, but rather just for the role you are in - and the tense jaw is what I associate with anger about root chakra issues.
Relaxation techniques help. The vision improvement CD should help a lot.
And if you are angry about something, acknowledge what it is, and then do something about it.

Alice - glad to have been able to help. I understand the feeling of having too much to do and no time, and even if there was the time, there'd be something extra to fill it with. Italians are much better at dealing with this than we northern Europeans are. But I've been here 9 years and still haven't learned. People still say to me ''fregatene!'' (stop caring about it), but that's easier said than done. Suzanne - thanks for the indications. I've been wondering if its a posture thing, but as for what might have caused it, who knows? I fell off bikes and out of trees so often as a kid that it could have been anything - and I certainly had a clicky jaw during my school days, so it's been with me since then. I'm not very hot on chakra stuff, so you might have to be patient with me, but since I've lost my temper big time at work twice in 2 days , I feel a change coming about. i.e. stop caring particularly about being nice and not offending people who actually need to be told that their behaviour is NOT ok. And as a result I'm feeling soooooo much better. This is also because by getting it all out, I don't think about it afterwards. sorry if I've taken ages to reply. Hectic time of the year. love , Gilly

Hmm. Sounds like anger about root chakra issues - money, home, job....

Hi, Today is Day 1 of week 6. When starting I'd thought it would be a great achievement to get this far and probably doubted my ability to stick to the program. I have managed to do the hatha yoga exercises every day. I've read a chapter, done affirmations and talked positively. I still have problems with leaving the glasses off and doing nothing, but I am doing much more than I'd thought possible for me to stick to. This week has been the most difficult week I can register in my life to date filled with very trying and difficult circumstances. At present I fail to see how improving my eyesight will improve certain circumstances and although I am going to continue with the program I don't see much point in life at the minute. I mean that I don't feel wholehearted about it all at present, I trust that this will pass and I need to keep up the program. The darkest hour is supposed to be just before dawn. How do I keep myself motivated on this. Alice

It's not that improving your eyesight will improve the circumstances in your life - it's that changing your consciousness in a way that improves your eyesight will change the way you respond to the circumstances in your life.
