Wow, Paul, what a story (about the bamboo pole)! That’s a trauma to the eye, and I don’t wonder it might not want to see much after that. You might consider some journalling or other energy work to release this, if you haven’t already done that.

My holistic eye doctor tells of treating a young girl years ago who wanted glasses to look like John Denver, though her sight was fine. After explaining the situation to her parents, he gave her glasses with no prescription, which she stopped “needing” in a few months.

In reply to Alvina. Hi Alvina, and thanks! The mild caring attitude in me bows to the mild caring attitude in you (big smile). Take care! :)

I was American by nationality, but foreign born. Things that were a challenge to most children my age, were a nightmare to me. I was also obese, which didn’t help. When I was given an opportunity to assist other schoolmates by placing and re-placing a high-jump bamboo pole, I thought, “That means they won’t bother me about jumping!” So, I relaxed! The next thing I knew, someone jumped and hurled the pole into my eye! I was rushed to the doctor’s office of the small town, who had to fish pieces of bamboo out of my eye. It was frightening! Sadly I relished everyone’s pity. Thankfully I started to protect my eyes more, but I still had another lesson to learn – believe it or not, I actually bought glasses in order to look more sophisticated! I had confused emotional self-pity with my gift of being able to see! My eyes were made to serve design, not preference.

In reply to Andrew. Yes, Andrew -- this was a big revelation to me. I thought I was defective, not merely full of tension. :) Like my holistic eye doctor said on my 1st visit years ago, tension can be released. I just had to learn how, which I am still doing to this day.

Thanks for another great article, Nancy. Couldn’t agree more. Our vision is influenced so much by our emotions and our attitude at any given moment. There are harmful behavioral patterns that we tend to fall into again and again. Bringing them into our conscious awareness lessens their power over us, and it’s the first step toward improving not only our sight but also so many other aspects of our life.
