Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberene.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.
This is called the vision retreat day. And I love this, this is really, really important. I want you to find a day when you can completely unplug from electronics for the entire day. And you’re going to do this eye patch exercise, you might do the opposite lens prescription, I want you to spend time in nature. And I want you to do the somatic eye practice that we’re going to do next. So you’ll see that and I want you to consider doing a cleanse, or a fast during the vision retreat day, when you start doing things like the eye dialogue, wearing the opposite lens prescription, you are detoxing the energy coming out of your eye. Basically, a cataract is toxicity.
That’s what it is. And you need to do a cleanse, you need to do a release and reset so that you don’t have to go through this surgical process. And this is what I really like about doing retreats. And you know, not everybody likes this kind of contemplation or this level of responsibility when you’re on your own. Before COVID, every year, I used to do, I used to both take retreats where I would just be a participant. And during the retreat, it would be a seven or eight-day retreat, we would spend three days of that retreat in silence. And usually, the retreats tour in a very nature-based setting, we were the only people there. And it was so amazing to stop talking to stop communicating with electronics. And going into silence is pretty challenging. Because at the very beginning, your mind is going to be going very, very quickly.
And probably a lot and what you do with that is you can just write, write it down in the notebook, it’s a way to discharge how busy the mind gets. Like the busier the mind, the more chaotic the mind, the busier and more chaotic the body and the eyes. So mind and eyes are very related. So in doing a retreat, it’s a way for you to start to see some of the influences that maybe are taking you away from your health and wellness. And it’s very difficult today to do self-care. Because when we do self-care, others may perceive it. As we’re being selfish. We’re not thinking about other people. I mean, there’s a variety of things that come up. But what I noticed about people who are healthy is that they are able to take some retreat time so that they can harvest their own energy and replenish and rejuvenate from all this fast-paced living that we’re all doing.

And I don’t know about you but I think things are going faster today than they were five years ago. And speed is one of the Things that creates compression in the body, the faster we go, the more compressed we become. The more we grip, the more we tighten, tighten up. So this affects our circulation, our oxygenation our immune system, what gives us more inflammation, speed is related to inflammation. So taking a pause, taking a retreat, you know, maybe you live in a family, you’ve got children, you’ve got animals, you’ve got a spouse, maybe you need to get some help to come in so that you can go have a retreat for yourself. I think everybody could benefit from it. You know, you may get some heat from it, you may get some, some resistance from family and friends. But, again, self-care is the way out of this. And the more we practice self-care, we become role models for others, to also practice self-care. And I think that’s a way we’re going to raise the health quotient in our society. Somebody is asking both my eyes are near farsighted, and astigmatic. Could I get a prescription for eye dialogue?
Opposite prescription? So there it’s getting kind of complicated. I think what I would say in that is that, let’s say, for example, your right eye is nearsighted. And you’re right is farsighted, just I don’t know. But let’s say there’s a difference going on. Or there’s a near-sighted problem, a distance and a fork farsighted problem near, I would tend to start more with the distance prescription and work with the opposite lens that way. And all we’re trying to induce in the opposite lens prescription is for you to react to blur. Because we don’t like a blur. It’s the signal that the eye doctor has said, something is wrong. Well, not necessarily, that if we learn to embrace and go into our blur, we actually can get more clarity. It’s part of that alchemical process that I keep talking about, that we want to offer things to our bodies, that may be in our consciousness, were weak in that area, maybe we’re deficient in that area. So you need to feed that so that you can get a better balance. It’s hard.
Nobody wants to go into the uncomfortable, because uncomfortable was like, Whoa, I can’t, I can’t deal with this. But the more you go into the uncomfortable, that is going to expand your comfort zone. You know, another thing that I used to do is I would pick one or two subjects things out there, and I would go take a seminar, I didn’t know anybody, it might be in a place I never had been before. And the idea is that by going into something new, that is a neuroplasticity practice, that’s going to create new pathways.
When you’re nearsighted and you go to the doctor and he gives you a nearsighted lens, which clears up the eye chart, what I’m asking you to do in a therapeutic setting is to use an opposite lens, which is going to create a blurred and you do this locked in your bedroom. And if you don’t know what I mean by this, what I would say is go to my website, and type in the plus lens, the blur or minus lens to blur, and start watching my video blogs. And then you will start understanding the beauty and the technique of using an opposite lens to create clear eyesight. The very powerful tool of challenging the status quo. So here it is, I’m going to give it to you.

You can stay on the same track over and over again, that’s called a closed system. Or you can challenge your status quo and that becomes an open system and when you live in an open system There’s more creativity. There’s more vitality. There’s more innovation. And we’re not just buying into the company line, the party line. I’m a certain age x, I need to get cataract surgery Why? That’s a closed system. And what I propose is an open system so that you can play in your growing edge. What is your growing edge?
