Empowering Vision

CASE STUDY 1:

CASE STUDY 2:

Aldous Huxley's Story:
The case of writer Aldous Huxley - In 1939, at 45 had lost his sight rapidly and needed thick magnifying spectacles minus 28's in order to read. He found Bates Method, and within two years of starting lessons reported that he was able to read a newspaper without glasses free of strain and fatigue. Later he reported that the opacity in his corneas, which had not changed for 25 years, was beginning to clear.

Huxley continued, "My own case is in no way unique" thousands of other sufferers, from defects of vision have benefited which we owe to Bates and his followers; by following the simple rules found in his book "The Art of Seeing"

Christopher Lane's Story:
At 22 I had been wearing glasses for 9 years. I threw my glasses away in 1972 after only 5 weekly sessions with a vision educator. That's 31 years ago!

As my astigmatism reduced my short-sightedness melted away I remember the exercise blinking at the crescent moon the thrill I had as I could control the moon changing back into one clear image. Naively I thought everybody who wants to give up wearing glasses went to see a natural vision educator!

More tragically I did not pass the message on... You have thought out of the box to get thus far! So my message to everyone is: you ALL know someone who has worse eyesight than you! Let them know there is an alternative - its not necessarily a quick fix but you will be back in control.

My wife, a computer skills lecturer, also uses this as a teaching aid for the blind and near blind. She especially uses palming, a powerful restorative exercise.

TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIAL 1:

47 year-old Advertising Agency Director: ... After one session I have never worn glasses again:

I put off visiting a vision educator for two years after realising my arms were too short and had succumbed to glasses for near everything. After one session I have never worn glasses again. I had never known how to look after my eyes - the effect of the challenging exercises kicked out all my lazy vision habits. I was so excited that I introduced all my staff to the Bate Method Where they are under the usual computer visual stress/dead line creative procrastinator scenario. An office study group followed an introductory lecture.

TESTIMONIAL 2:

Professional female unmarried (age 28) :

I saved up and took the 3-phased program seriously, setting up my own daily and weekly goals for the various routines required to retrain my focusing perception. I no longer required specs after 7 weeks. I was advised where I most needed to turn my attentions as my eyesight strengthened. My eyes were very tired at first.

TESTIMONIAL 3:

42yr old Married woman:

I didn't like wearing glasses - and found difficulty to do my make up etc. I noticed as the routines steady progressed I could move back from the mirror.

TESTIMONIAL 4:

36yr old Dr in alternative medicine:

I'll never wear contact lenses again as they radically effect the direct source of colour empowering energy. I have maintained a drop in prescription of 1.5 diopters in a weekend workshop! I have always been suspicious of the effect of sunglasses.

TESTIMONIAL 5:

14yr old Learner male hi-achiever, Ballet dancer & Marshall arts with minus 7 diopters:

In the first session I saw the whole eyesight chart from top to bottom clearly without my glasses for a few seconds:

TESTIMONIAL 6:

29yr old Female divorcee: At my first workshop 2001

I went with a friend to a workshop I was sceptical we had so much fun everybody should learn about how to look after their eyes. Now I only wear glasses when and if I have too - like really lousy lighting checking street signs at night! My glasses now only stay in the car.
If the military and sports science specialists use it why keep improving vision a secret.

TESTIMONIAL 6:

Typical workshop student:

Since starting with glasses at school as I couldn't see the blackboard I had never spoken to any other glass wearer of what its like not to wear glasses. I felt sort of incomplete - inadequate - only those with serious eye problems will remain dependant on glasses after the workshop. I feel thrilled, awake and connected to the natural world for the first time.

TESTIMONIAL 7:

24yr old male computer programmer:

I was sceptical - it was scary 6 other workshop students had been offered laser treatment within ten days of the workshop - now I know how to look after my eyes. None of us had the operation - some of us experienced a vision improvement of more than 1.5 diopters confirmed by their optometrist.

TESTIMONIAL 8:

68yr old professional Male:

Its obvious as you get older you progressively lose your near sight because I don't use it like a child. The worst thing I could do was deny that my arms were not long enough. I needed to do warm up exercises balance the huge difference between my left & right eyes/ dominant and lazy eyes then get on patiently with near work exercises.

TESTIMONIAL 9:

38yr old single father one eye:

Synchro-destiny... there was a lady who had lost an eye 5 years back and we learnt such a lot together that weekend. I had only just lost the eye in an accident and was told to take extreme care of the other eye. I was a bundle of nerves. I can now do almost all the things as if nothing had happened.

TESTIMONIAL 10:

32yr old unmarried male Swedish commercial Pilot: International Correspondence course.

Having constant perfect vision is a must my acuity deficit is only small The correspondence course was an eye opener to dynamic and passive relaxed vision habits.
