July 2014 Dreamer Sight Newsletter
Hello, and joyous July!
Welcome back to my monthly newsletter if you are a "regular",
and a special welcome if you are new. You'll read about my
passions and my work here, helping folks with their vision (much
more than merely eyesight!),
their dreams, and coaching them toward more abundance in their
lives. Enjoy, and feel free to send me feedback. I'd love to
hear from you.
A dream about eyes
A recent dream showed me clearly how our energy and feelings
affect our eyes. You can read more about that
here.
Vision and light
In the Northern Hemispere where I live, this past month was the
time of most daylight. Even on a very busy work day, I made
a point to get outdoors for at least a short walk, letting my
eyes open wide, drinking in the colors and vivid views. I've
written before that Light is food for the visual
system, and I admit I sometimes feel like a glutton, wanting
more and more. Let there be Light!
This month's picture was taken in Arizona in early June,
at an energy medicine workshop. I graduated from the top level of
Deborah King's
LifeForce Coaching program then (hooray!), and also practiced some
advanced healing techniques. Yet the abundant bright sunlight
in that desert environment may have been my favorite part
of the trip. My eyes and spirit loved it -- I could feel my
energy lifting whenever I went outdoors.
So are you getting enough sunlight nourishment, to keep your
eyes and brain well-fed? Especially if you're in the Southern
Hemisphere where it's the time of least light now, this is very
important for your visual health, and will also help your mood.
Here
is a post I wrote last November when our light was waning,
with more on this.
EFT helps with my travel anxiety
In a session a few weeks ago with my EFT coach, we discussed
my being nervous about an upcoming train trip to NYC, where I'll
then have to change trains and continue on to my final destination in
Connecticut. I've had many dreams, for many years,
of missing a train or getting on a train going in
the wrong direction, so this future experience is really "pushing
my buttons". As the oldest child in my family, I often felt like
I had responsibilities far beyond my capabilties, and had to do my
many tasks
without much guidance, since my younger siblings needed the help
more. So this train trip is also bringing up that feeling of being
an overwhelmed confused child, in way over my head but having to
keep going anyway, filled with anxiety.
My coach and I tapped on "I didn't have much help back then, but I have
a lot of resources now" and "I'm the strong adult who can keep Little
Nancy safe". I could feel the energy moving in my body,
with some yawning
and a great feeling of relief. Afterward I was much less afraid
about the trip, just seeing it as one more task that needed to be
understood, planned, and accomplished.
In the workshops with my energy medicine teacher
Deborah King,
when interacting with a client on stage,
she sometimes performs what she calls an Inner Child Rescue.
Deborah does this when the
adult client is remembering a much-earlier trauma, a time when
as a child he or she did not feel safe. Deborah comforts the child,
and helps the adult client understand how to be the one to
keep the child safe
now. I always cry when watching these sessions, remembering
how it felt to be a frightened child myself. This EFT session
with my coach seemed like a similar sort of healing, about
much more than catching or missing a train! It was very powerful
for me and I am grateful.
If you're unfamiliar with EFT, you'll find a brief description
here,
so you can better understand its power.
Vision improvement for children
A parent contacted me last month concerned that her young
son might need eyeglasses. She wanted to know if my work would
help him avoid glasses, and how fast he would improve.
Following is some of what I wrote to her.
There is no formula for vision improvement, although the younger
the person, the quicker they usually progress. This is especialy
true if the child hasn't worn eyeglasses, which tend to lock in
the unconscious strain. And then the child may need even
stronger glasses a year or so later. Some people make fast
progress. For others it is slower.
Often children develop vision "problems" when they are just
overwhelmed, and literally don't want to see a situation they
can't figure out how to deal with. This could be a challenging
school environment or something at home. I'd encourage your son
to think about seeing as fun and play, focusing on colors and
interesting shapes and textures, rather than as work and straining and trying
to "get ahead" in school. Also spending time outside instead of
being intently
focused on a computer, or playing some simple game with a ball,
tossing it and catching it, is great for children's vision.
Vision is meant to be enjoyable, not work! Overall, make sure he
is calm and happy. Anxiety can make vision worse, leading a child
to pull away from the world in self-protection, including pulling
in his vision.
What's next for me?
It's summer here now in NY, students are out of school, and many
people are on vacation. I will also be taking a break from my
usual busy schedule and from travel. I am especially looking
forward to catching up on some leisure reading!
Early in August I'll be participating in an energy medicine
workshop not too far from here, where I'm looking forward
to seeing my teacher and my fellow student colleagues to
practice our
healing techniques. After this I'm hoping to spend most of August
relaxing, before the busy "back to school!" month of September
begins.
Fee increase coming very soon
With my new certifications as Abundance Coach (from
Carol Look),
and LifeForce Coach Level III (from
Deborah King),
my fees for client sessions and session packages will go up
slightly in the second week of July. If you've been thinking about
booking a coaching session with me, this would be a good time!
See the links near the top of the page, just below the one to my
website, to do so. I'd love to work with you and hear your story.
I welcome your comments and questions
Let me know what you're curious about regarding vision or
dreams or EFT, or if there is a specific topic you'd like me to
focus on next month. If you have a friend who'd benefit from this
newsletter, feel free to pass it along, and send me their email
so they'll be sure to get next month's issue.
I'd be delighted to hear from you. Enjoy your July!
