David, she is an energy medicine classmate of mine. Since she knows I’m interested in vision improvement, she volunteered one day that her eyesight had improved, and all she’d done was meditate. When I pressed for details, she really didn’t have any. In our healing work we do sense into what the body is doing, and some people see symbolic images, but I don’t know if this is a strong ability of hers or not. Her prescription was pretty low, -2 at most. Sorry I don’t have more to offer. She seemed to think it was no big deal, an incidental not worthy of a lot of attention, where I’d be turning cartwheels and wanting to know every single tiny thing I was doing right so I could keep doing it!

Those loud alarms are the worst. I used to wake up to one of those in college, and it jarred my nerves every time. I have a nice gentle one on my phone that I use now.
Well I’m not surprised that she did it just by meditating. Done right it’s effective for all kinds of stuff. But then some people who are really into meditation still wear glasses… Even the Dalai Lama for example. Did she do lots of work with visualization/hynpagogic imagery?

This is great and I’ll be sharing it on my own page. I know someone who improved her vision enough to get the eyeglasses restriction removed from her driver’s license just by meditating, doing no specific vision training. I agree relaxing the mind is essential, and meditation does that. If someone needs an alarm to pull them out of the meditative state, I recommend using something with a soft and gentle tone, like a chime. If you’re jarred out of meditation by a loud noise it can rattle you and ruin the relaxation. Thanks again — have I told you that you should write a book?
