What is needed on this level is what I call psycho-visual alignment: This combines releasing inner barriers to seeing, healing of memories and alignment of inner consciousness and outer desire to see.
To understand how this works, divide your life into two distinct stages – first stage being time from when you were born to time you first noticed a problem with your vision. The second stage begins when you got your first pair of glasses and continues until now.
This second stage is all after fact and doesn't have anything to do with whatever may have caused problem in first place.
During first stage, whether it is consciously remembered or not, you had naturally clear vision. (Remember, poor vision is not genetic!)
The Transitional Period Holds Key
To understand inner causes of unclear vision it is necessary to look at what I call Transitional Period – that period of time – usually a year but it could have been longer – between seeing clearly with natural eyes to first noticing a problem.
This physical change in vision often follows changes in our own emotional and psychological responses to ourselves – or to world around us – that become ingrained during this Transitional Period:
Most people can identify a transition in at least one of these three major areas during Transitional Period.
Personal – changes in self image usually (but not always) accompanied by physical changes during adolescence, reaching puberty or with middle age.
Emotional – changes in significant relationships. (Parents divorce, another child is born or a loved one dies)
Situational – changes in environment. (Moving to another town and having to make new friends or staying in same town but switching careers, homes or schools)
Whatever specific outer changes may have been, what are important are significant inner changes of feelings, attitudes or perspective and establishing of limiting emotional patterns. The emotional and subconscious statement “I don't want to see this part of myself or this problem” is what affects visual system. Exactly how is not clear, but I've seen it happen over and over again in more than 200 vision improvement seminars that I've conducted.
During this Transitional Period a person usually doesn't want to admit to what is being seen, sensed or perhaps even feared. The message “I don't want to see what is going on” is sent to subconscious mind. Often delivered with emotion, this message becomes a command to mind to develop a more limited pattern of seeing and visual system responds accordingly. Not wanting to be seen or hiding and protecting oneself from others out of fear or shame can also contribute to closing and limiting of visual system.
