Mid-October 2014 Dreamer Sight Newsletter
Hello, and an ongoing outstanding October to you!
Welcome, or welcome back, to my newsletter.
The photo above is cropped from a group of close friends sitting with
me. I'm reasonably calm, and my eyes are open, which was not always
the case in pictures. I used to want to hide, not be seen!
In this colder weather, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, make
sure you spend some time with friends too. We all need community.
Today's issue has 2 articles, one about vision and the time it
takes to see improvement. The other is about over-focusing on
details, as it affects both thinking and vision.
Enjoy!
Vision Improvement: How long will it take?
|
As soon as I start talking to folks about improving their
eyesight or reducing the strength of their eyeglasses
or eliminating their eyestrain, this question arises. In our
quick-fix culture, people want immediate results, even though
they may have had restricted vision for many years.
|
Part of how to keep from obsessing about not being "there"
yet is to notice small improvements, perhaps fewer headaches or
a looser neck or that the room seems brighter than it used to
(because your eyes are letting in more light).

finish line, click

I've mentioned EFT before as one of the tools I've used to help
reduce my anxiety, whether it's about seeing clearly or something
else.
If you're unfamiliar with EFT, you'll find a brief description
here,
so you can better understand its power.
The Brain and Vision: Details or the big picture?
|
One simplistic explanation of common vision problems is that
nearsighted folks tend to over-focus on details at the
expense of a broader view, while far-sighted or hyperopic
folks miss the details and see only the big picture.
Clearly for good vision, we need both!
It's interesting to me to notice the related styles of
thinking and attention. Near-sighted thinking (which is
even called "myopic"!) can churn on the tiniest detail,
when sometimes a more panoramic view would be useful.

How are YOU?
If you've been a client of mine, and we haven't connected in a
while, I'd love to know how you're doing. How is it going with
your vision
improvement, or your dreaming, or whatever issues we've worked
on together in the past?
Or perhaps some new challenges have arisen for you, and you'd like to
tell me about those. As the saying goes, don't be a
stranger!
This is equally true if we haven't worked together yet. Let me know
what's happening with you, and how you think I can help.
I care about each one of you.
Please send me your questions and comments
Let me know what you're curious about concerning vision or
dreams or EFT. I may write a short article addressing that
very topic.
Enjoy the remainder of this abundant month of October.
I'll write again in a few weeks. Take care!
