I've also had a transformative experience working with a Doctor in New York who does similar exercises. He also uses "Syntonics" which is the use of colored light to affect vision health as well as nervous system stability. <br /><br />I agree with you completely that the lack of attention to this fundamental aspect of our well being is a blind spot (sorry, couldn't resist) in healthcare. Additionally, because the part of the brain that governs vision governs creativity, as artists we give ourselves a multi-dimensional gift when we expand what and how we can see.<br /><br />Thank you for the inspiration to re-visit this powerful form of healing!<br /><br />Here's the brilliant guy in NYC:<br /><br /><br />Dr. Joseph Shapiro<br />The Center for Unlimited Vision<br />128 West 13th Street New York, NY 10011 (212) 255-2240lauriemcleodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770711374668023010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-34485461019829858862010-01-23T19:30:54.032-05:002010-01-23T19:30:54.032-05:00Well notice he (I assume it's a he) is winking...Well notice he (I assume it's a he) is winking. I think of it as an emblem of how we often come from preconception rather than seeing what is really in front of us.Carol Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023589628710711343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-81753873294308818222010-01-23T19:16:38.991-05:002010-01-23T19:16:38.991-05:00By the way, you should also say something about th...By the way, you should also say something about that Jasper John's lead cast of the eyes, glasses and mouth. As an art critic, don't you think it is a piece that condemns the critic, as unable to see, because of thinking about what he / she is going to say.richard britellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665518522610158987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-37477140162090150462010-01-23T18:37:04.617-05:002010-01-23T18:37:04.617-05:00From Isaac Babel’s story, “Lines and Color: That c...From Isaac Babel’s story, “Lines and Color: That coin you want me to squander on a pair of spectacles is the one coin that will never leave my pocket. You can keep that line of yours, with its repulsive reality. You are living the sordid life of a trigonometry teacher, while i am enveloped by wonders, even in a hole like Klyazma. Why do I need the freckles on Froken Kristi’s face, when I , who can barely make her out, can imagine everything i want to Imagine about her? Why do I need lines, when i have colors? For me the whole world is a gigantic theater in which I am the only spectator without opera glasses. The orchestra plays the prelude to the third act, the stage is far away as in a dream, my heart swells with delight, I see Juliet’s crimson velvet, Romeo’s violet silk, and not a single false beard- and you want to blind me with a pair of half -ruble spectacles.?richard britellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665518522610158987noreply@blogger.com
