Here is a session I had with a patient who was suffering from double vision. In the first session, I recommended some physical therapy exercises and yoked prisms, but she was struggling with the program. So, we had another session where I laid out some important principles for her and anyone else suffering from double vision on the road to recovery. Enjoy the show.

Now to the latest I clarity Episode
00:44
Hey, everybody, welcome to the show today. So you’re gonna get a peek into a session I did recently with a patient who’s suffering double vision. And in session one, I gave her some physical therapy exercises, I also recommended some prism glasses, my famous yoked prisms, and she was struggling with the program. So she sent me some emails and had some questions. They said, Hey, let’s just do another session. So in the second session, I start off by asking her to check in with me. And then I lay out some principles that I feel are very important only for her but also anybody who’s suffering double vision, what the road is to recovery. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in. So
01:39
let’s let’s get a check in on sounds like you’re having some struggles and your formula on gets getting some positive spin here. So
01:54
lay it all out for me.
01:57
So I noticed, first, let’s start with like the brach string. I noticed with that, that my right eye is stable, but my left eye is like moving when I moved the string in and out. Like it’s moving back and forth. But my right eye seems to be staying still. Or maybe my right eye is just more linear. And my left eye is doing like a curve around sort of thing. I think, from the exercises that I’ve been doing, it seems like my left dies the problem.
02:35
When I now that my I think I’ve been suppressing the left eye for a long time. And so now that I’ve been doing the exercise, it seems to be coming back, which is making the double worse. But that’s like you said it’s an intermediary step. And I agree with you completely, I have to have that one to see for them to work together.
02:54
And so now,
02:57
since the left is showing up, I’ve been trying to like, look at what the left eye sees, instead of what the right eye sees. Does that make sense.
03:06
And when I look at what the left eye sees, it moves closer to the right eye, so it’s getting more in line with my right eye.
03:16
But I can only see what the left is, I always see double. But if I focus on a single thing that left I will show up, then I can see both pictures very clearly if I if I focus on one thing
03:35
the dot chart when I was trying to do that I was getting them kind of to line up but then I noticed I have two pen points.
03:44
And I’m not I think what is supposed to happen is they’re supposed to be a convergence in the middle of those two dots, isn’t it?
03:53
That’s one way you can do it. There are there are a variety of ways you can
03:58
Okay, what was happening to me is I was creating a.to, the left and the other like my right dot was moving on top of one of the dots that was already there. I don’t know if that’s crazy, or if it’s trying to do what it’s supposed to do.
04:21
And then I kind of now that my left eye is showing up and I can see what it’s doing. I did kind of a evaluation of what my eyes doing. So
04:35
if I’m looking straight forward, I have
04:39
I guess it’s called vertical diplopia. My right eye seems to be on top, the left is on the bottom. But if I lift my chin up, the left dips down and then it goes
04:54
it goes to the left and then it goes kind of back right up. So it’s doing
05:00
sort of like that. When I move my chin down, the left moves up, and it kind of meets the right and like I told you before, that’s kind of when I see my best. It’s not perfect, but it’s as close as it gets.
05:18
When I turn my head to the right, the left goes flat, the left eye goes left and up.
05:27
Yeah. And when I turn my head to the left, it goes left and down. Okay, so it’s like the right ice doing what it’s supposed to do in the left eye is just kind of go in wherever it wants to go. So I really think that’s, that’s the eye that has the biggest problem.
05:46
I don’t know, though.
05:48
Okay.
05:50
And so what are you noticing about the prisms?
05:54
The prisoners, when I put them on, I’m still seeing double, it’s just a little bit different double, I don’t know that it’s better.
06:07
There’s, it’s still a vertical diplopia up ones higher ones lower, is just a little bit different.
06:18
It seemed like I was doing the brach string with the
06:22
prisms. And, you know, I was doing those exercises and doing the bug walk. And then when I took them off,
06:31
my eyes did better without them than with them. They were getting the dots closer, or the beads closer without them after I took them off.
06:44
So I don’t know. If I hear you correctly, you You did it with the prisms and then use when you took the prisms off, you’re able to do a little better with the brach string, is that correct? Yeah, with the prisms. I couldn’t get the beads as close as I could get the beads close when I took them off, because I just kind of wanted to see what the difference was what they were doing.
07:14
They didn’t
07:16
try to try this concept on
07:19
the prisons are making you work differently.
07:25
And harder maybe.
07:29
And the purpose of the prisms in that is to make you work differently and harder. So that when you take them off, now your eyes have a chance to maybe work better together. I agree. Yes. I was kind of thinking the same thing. There’s nothing wrong
07:53
with that picture. That’s actually a very positive thing.
08:00
I agree. Yes, it’s making them do something different. Yes.
08:06
Okay. So I just want to make sure we’re on the same page on that.
08:12
So my first statement is
08:16
that
08:18
in order for you to get rid of double vision,
08:23
this is not going to be
08:29
direct.
08:31
Okay, in other words, you may do something.
08:35
And the expectation is, it’s going to make it better. Or it’s going to get rid of the double.
08:42
And
08:45
this process a year you’re in
08:50
is not going to do that for you.
08:54
Okay, if a person wants direct, then they go get eye muscle surgery or they just go get a prism over the left eye.
09:06
Gaze. That’s it.
09:09
And so, your mindset
09:14
has to be that you are in a laboratory right now.
09:20
Exploring
09:25
a reeducation.
09:31
And part of that reeducation is learning a new way
09:39
to align both eyes at the same time
09:46
by you’re going to go through lots of
09:51
different scenarios.
09:54
And there’s nothing wrong there’s nothing
09:59
bad
10:00
about it.
10:01
It’s just gonna be a little chaotic.
10:06
Okay, that’s what you signed up for. Yeah. I mean, I’m not looking for a quick fix. And I knew this wasn’t a quick fix. I understand completely if I want a quick fix, go get surgery. And then that quick fixes, hopefully works, you know, or like you said, the glasses. But yeah, I’m not looking for a quick fix. I, the reason I wanted to email you about what was happening is because I just needed feedback to let me know if I’m on the right track, or if I need to do something different or that sort of thing. Yeah, good. Yeah. I appreciate the feedback. But it was hard to convey all of this in an email. I agree. It’s kind of impossible.
10:53
So
10:55
I want to do a couple things right now. And then maybe kind of refined some of the stuff you’re doing with the intention and the hope to get you the result that you’re looking for. But I can’t guarantee it. Okay, so let’s start here.
11:20
The prism glasses. Do you have them nearby? Yes, I can grab them. Please.
11:33
Okay, I want you to stand up. I want you to stand up.
11:38
And I want you to take a look across the room or somewhere out there somewhere. Okay, and I want you to pick something that’s horizontal.
11:51
I can there’s a baseline and I want you to put the glasses on and I want you to tell me what happens to that horizontal line. Okay, the other vignette, does it go up or to go down?
12:07
Let me put the glasses on. Yeah, it goes down. It goes down. Okay. So these are called these are called base up prisms. And so what it’s doing is it’s bringing your horizon line down. Now hold on, I were gonna be more surprised stand.
12:25
All right. Now, this is a hard question I’m going to ask you. So
12:31
do your best to, to answer it for yourself.
12:37
What’s one thing that you notice in your awareness?
12:42
Either in your body posture,
12:46
your energy, your muscles, something you have to come up with something?
12:54
Taking the glasses off and putting them on? What? What do those glasses change?
13:05
You have to come up with something.
13:08
Could be posture could be movement, it could be
13:13
emotions, it could be you got a million things you can focus on
13:30
it brings everything down, but I don’t.
13:33
So I’m interested in your body awareness. Okay.
13:39
Your body awareness. If you’re still not sure, then I want you to take a walk without the glasses and then put the glasses on and take another walk. Okay
13:52
Okay.
14:27
It seems like everything is more reachable are manageable.
14:33
closer to my
14:36
ability to deal with maybe
14:40
closer to my height. I don’t I don’t know.
14:44
I’m really out of touch with my body. So some more some more manageable closer. Are you saying with the prisms on? Yes, it’s
14:58
closer to my level. So
15:00
are smaller. So I guess it’s bringing stuff down to my level.
15:04
To your level. So when you take the glasses off, where’s the world? It’s up, I feel short and down. And I felt like, oh, and how was that a disadvantage?
15:24
I guess is more effort? Is it less effort of is more effort using more effort effort? Yes. Where do you? Where do you feel the effort? Where are you efforting to do this?
15:39
In your eyes and your nervous system and your hands? In other words, both
15:47
my eyes are having to look up more, my body’s having to do things higher, yes. Higher, and so then put the prisms on.
15:58
And I feel like there’s more above the world.
16:03
Does does this bring any more relaxation or ease to you?
16:08
It does a little bit. Yeah.
16:12
Wow. Do you think positive thing? Or do you want to be in effort all the time? No, I think that’s a positive thing. Yes. And doing the exercises and having your comments about body awareness and stuff. I’ve noticed how tight My shoulders are. They’re always like this. And I’m always like, tightening my muscles I have I’m always in like, sympathetic fight or flight.
16:41
Yeah.
16:43
So I don’t know if you’ll remember this. But the way you get rid of double vision is by being more in your parasympathetic, the more you’re in your sympathetic, the more the double is going to hang around.
16:57
And if nothing else, when you wear these prisms, I want you to get in touch with the relaxation.
17:08
And the less effort because these prisms are beginning to awaken your parasympathetic nervous system.
17:22
I should really say that in our last session, because that’s a like what? Yeah, I had to have you have a direct experience with the prisms. And even then I had to really prompt you to force you into Come on. Yeah.
17:43
That’s, that’s what you’re looking for. That’s it’s all if this is a game of awareness,
17:53
slowing down
17:56
and going more into the parasympathetic receiving state.
18:03
That is like, so important for you.
18:08
That’s like essential. If you don’t get that, then the double vision has no chance to go away.
18:16
You get what I’m saying? Yeah.
18:21
Absolutely. Yeah. And I had some great news psychotherapy work. And I had a chiropractor. So I have two craniosacral therapists that I’m working with once a chiropractor and cranial sacral and then once a cranial sacral. And then
18:38
yeah, I’ve also just been kind of noticing that
18:43
my right brain is kind of turned off. And that’s what controls that left eye. That’s my parasympathetic and I have been in fight or flight for a very, very long time. So it’s all it’s a lot of internal stuff. I agree with you completely.
19:01
Yep. And so when you made the call,
19:05
yeah, that’s what you’re fixing in this office. And
19:11
then we needed to talk in person because the emails not going to cut it. Okay, good. Good, very good. So what I want you to do, is I want you to say take 10 or 15 minutes a day. And I want you to get in touch with that level of awareness on the value of those prisms and forget about it, trying to fix the double vision. Forget it. It’s not going to do that. That’s not the point of the prisons.
19:47
We can do some other things. But this is really important that it’s opening up for you. That’s why the what this prism is doing is it’s grounding you it’s bringing more
20:00
underground and in
20:07
double vision occurs when you’re up and out.
20:11
And yes, it’s going to be emotional. That’s, that’s part of the energetic release around this. I mean, I’ve had people that have had emotional releases and their double vision is gone, you basically are in double vision you’ve shattered, there’s a shattering that you’ve had, where you fragged, you’ve had to fragment yourself into two things.
20:37
And then the suppression is a deeper fragmentation, because now you’ve just ignored it. So you’ve got to regulate
20:49
how quickly you want to come out of that suppression.
20:54
Because the intermediary step is going to be Oh, now I’ve got double.
21:02
It’s worse. What? No, it’s not worse. It’s just you’re aware of how deeply you’ve suppressed?
21:12
Yes, it’s beautiful when you’re owning that creative feminine side of you.
21:19
Like, if it were me, you know, in your situation, I would say how do I get in touch with my divine feminine?
21:30
How do I get in touch with the mother in me, the creativity in me the receptivity.
21:38
And suppression takes an incredible amount of energy to suppress yourself. So you want you want the left eye to come in. And so a way to explore that, and you’re doing this quite well is
21:57
like I would, I would get like
22:00
a ball or an object, it could be a your phone, it could be something. And I would put it on the table, maybe four feet or three feet, two feet away from me. And I would get the double vision.
22:14
And I would play with the head posture like you’re doing, which is very good. And I would also play with looking more out of the left eye
22:27
and noticing what happens to the right.
22:31
Guy that sees the right object. That’s all really good stuff to do. That’s what we do. In vision therapy. When people start seeing the double, we have them look more out of that eye that’s been suppressing.
22:48
And
22:50
go into the double more.
22:52
Like don’t judge it, like oh, no, or am I getting better and that you have to put aside
23:04
because here’s what’s going to happen.
23:07
The results are going to occur through the back door, like one day, you’re going to wake up and both of your eyes are going to be working together.
23:20
You can’t chase it.
23:23
Yeah, Tracy say that because because that’s what I’ve been telling myself. I believe that’s what’s gonna happen,
23:31
I believe.
23:37
So the prisms are there to ground you in and really parasympathetic. So 15 minutes a day, if you want to wear it a little longer, that’s fine.
23:51
For the string and the beads, there’s a couple things I’d like you to do. Okay, I want you to do a variety of stuff. One is do the exercise with the prisms and then do the exercise without the prisms. And notice how much easier it is for you notice that things are better. Think of it this way. Like let’s say you were going to run a running run marathon race, and you had to get your legs stronger. So there’s a hill behind your house. And we gave you ankle weights so we say you got to run up that hill five times.
24:30
And then on the sixth time you take the ankle weights off. Now you’re going to run up the hill twice as fast. That’s what those prisms are doing to your eyes. They’re like the ankle weights. They’re making you do something different and work in a different way. And then when you take them off,
24:52
I want you to embrace the improvement. And maybe what you need to do is just work with one bead
25:01
Okay, and start with the place where you get the x. So maybe you do lower, get one bead, put it at the distance where you get by an ocular vision.
25:19
Okay. And then
25:23
two things, you can either push the bead, maybe an inch or two away from you and see if you can continue to see the axe. If so, push it a little further away, and play with the edge of where you get by an ocular vision with the angle of your head, that’s good for your brain to see that. And then you’ve got to play with the edge of, okay, can I lift my head, or whatever it is lower my head, an inch, two inches, like Where’s the place where it falls apart?
25:59
Well, the too far, let me come back
26:02
and work with one bead. And just
26:07
get into the situation where you do get by an ocular vision and play with the edge.
26:18
Okay, that might be that might give you a little better morale around like I can actually get some getting what I’m supposed to see in this position. Okay, that’s a start. It’s the same with those two cert black circles. Find the place where you do the best at it, and just hanging out in that.
26:47
And don’t try to go too far too fast.
26:52
The other thing with the string in the beads is I’d like you to patch your right eye. Spread the beads out. And I want you just to practice focusing your left eye at each bead, you’re another see one string. Let’s see if you can develop better aiming skill
27:14
just with the left eye.
27:18
And then the other thing to do with the left eye is this exercise called the thumb gain. Were you Well no, no, this is a different one because you’re just
27:30
you’re just using the left eye. So right now I’m looking at my thumb. Okay, I’ve got one thumb, this is what you’re going to do. And then there’s a window sill out there. And I’m going to trace the thumb around the windows cell. But I’m going to look at my thumb. So I’m going to work with the eye movements.
27:54
But I’m focusing on my thumb, and my thumb is tracing something out in the distance.
28:01
I can do a circle. So in other words, I want you to practice getting better with aiming and controlling your left eye.
28:10
We’re going to take the right eye out of the equation, because that’s messing you up. And I beg to differ. I don’t think it’s the problem with the left eye. I think it’s a relationship problem. I think the right eye is involved in this too. Yeah. Never. Yeah, it’s never just one person.
28:33
You know, oh, it’s my wife. She’s there. Yeah, well, what’s your where’s your accountability, buddy? It’s both. Yeah. Okay. So we want to have you develop better accountability. So maybe you do that with the right eye.
28:50
And in everything you’re doing, I want you to ask yourself, what do I feel? What am I noticing?
29:00
In other words, bring it internal, so that you’re just not mechanically doing it.
29:08
That’s going to help you make the lasting change you need to make by asking that question, what do I feel
29:17
if I gave you an ice cream cone right now, they said I want you to eat the ice cream cone. Can you describe your experience? You’d say well, the ice cream is cold. It’s mushy, it’s sweet. You’re internalizing?
29:33
That’s what I want you to do with your vision that’s hard to do.
29:38
Like you say you’re not in touch. Well, I’ll tell you what you have given birth, have you not? Twice you have natural
29:48
your your view of have much more internal awareness
29:54
when you go through that, so I beg to differ. I think you’ve got good
30:00
awareness, maybe you’re not acknowledging it. But find something you’re not allowed to say. There’s no change. And I don’t feel any I know notice, you’re not allowed to say you’ve got. I mean, you can say it. But you’re going to be spinning your wheels like a hamster, and you’re not going to make any changes.
30:21
Maybe this cranial work, or whatever, I don’t know about the chiropractor, but the cranial can sometimes help you get in touch internally. I mean, you’ve got the DNA to do it. It’s harder for the male, because we don’t give birth. We don’t know what that’s like. We don’t know what members like.
30:46
My wife didn’t tell me what that I’m just standing there. You know? I don’t know. Yeah. So I want you to bring that awareness into this vision. And if the double is really bothering you, that just patch an eye
31:04
and bring mindful awareness
31:09
to what comes up for you, when you just use one eye.
31:15
Mindful mindfulness,
31:19
what am I feeling? What am I seeing? What am I noticing?
31:25
Like, that was a great awareness you had about the prisms, oh, and of the reaches far, I’m taller. That was so great. And, you know, I threw you into the deep end of the poll, because I, you know, I knew that intuitively, those prisons were the right thing for you. But, you know, you get these glasses, it’s like, whoa, what’s going on here? You know, now, I think you’re starting to understand these prisms are therapeutically really helpful on an energetic level, on a physiological level. And the last thing that’s going to change is the double, you need to do some other work first, to allow the alignment to occur.
32:14
So I’d like your feedback. I’d love your questions.
32:19
No.
32:21
Yeah.
32:24
First, I asked you about the exercises that I was doing. So you said about the brach string, you want me to just work on one bead, work on trying to get that fine ocular vision hanging out there and just move it easily, gently until I can get by an ocular with closer up. So I’ll do that.
32:46
And put your head in the posture where you get it and then start playing edge? What do you mean out in in close up and far up? Or far away, we’re pushing the pushing the bead farther away, got it, oh, I can get out to heat and then start bringing it in. Because you need to develop both of those skills in the alignment of being able to coordinate at different distances. Okay.
33:13
Okay, so I’ll do that with the Brock string. And then do you still want me to try to do the bug walk? Or no,
33:23
no, I don’t want you to do the bug walk, you’re not you’re not ready for that.
33:30
I think you’d be better served to spend your time just on the one bead. And you’re doing kind of up above walk by you to get the beads, slide it out a little bit. And then see if you can get it again, slide it out. But you’re, you’re you’re kind of
33:51
you know, getting taking smaller bites. Okay. And then the other thing that was on the list here was eye patch and look at the one bead focusing, we just want me to do that with just the left eye.
34:06
Just the left eye.
34:08
You can use your intuition here. Okay, and if you wouldn’t really,
34:15
you want to do the right I do the right eye. I think I need to spend some time with each eye separately in doing these activities. And, you know, when I when I do my workshops, and at the end, the people that have made the most improvements are the ones that are most intuitive with the exercises. Okay.
34:37
How’s your intuition?
34:42
Okay, I wouldn’t say so. No.
34:45
But I’m working on it. I I have become a different person over the past month even.
34:53
Because all this is coming up from inside and you’re absolutely right. It’s all inner work. And so I’m seeing
35:00
did all that come up? And like you said last time, it’s it’s a huge opportunity to find that and become that better person to know myself more. And I agree with that completely. So I’m seeing that, that I think I agree with you completely that it’s going that’s where this is going to come from because it’s the brain
35:21
freeze. Yeah.
35:23
So, you know, with intuition, it’s a tricky thing, because, you know, it can be your impulse, like, Oh,
35:33
what, what’s the what’s the thing in your life? Where it’s like working the best that you made a choice? And it’s like, oh, wow, this worked out. What’s one thing? Is it you’re like deciding to have kids? Is it your partner? Is it your job? Is it where you live? What What’s one thing? What’s one decision you made? That you go? Wow, that that’s turned out? Well, do you have an answer for that? Nico? I don’t, that’s a tough one. Because I can always find fault and everything.
36:12
Well, just just as a first hit, I mean, usually with kids, that’s like,
36:19
their wonder you made a decision? Somewhere like, I want kids. Yep. That’s the kind of impulse you’re looking for. Yeah, you can always find things does these kids
36:36
deserve? And you know, yeah, I’d have a lot of money.
36:41
Right, having kids, like, I’ve like in our situation, my wife says, I want to get a dog. All right. So we get a we get this. We didn’t want to get a dog that was highly vaccinated. So we’re looking we find this puppy in Amarillo, Texas four hours away.
37:02
All right. So we drive there, we get this. And it’s a it’s a very active dog. Very, very active, very smart. We got to hike this dog every day.
37:14
And I mean, like, that’s, that’s my anyway. So intuitively, even I said, this is right, even though it’s kind of hard sometimes. Right? At our stage, we need a puppy, really. But anyway, that’s, that’s kind of, for me, that’s kind of what I’m saying is like, with your kids, it’s like they’re incredible. And they’re probably really challenging, right? Yes. But that’s that’s the, that’s the intuitive. And yeah, so you know, you’re you’re cultivating that it’s sometimes it’s cloudy. And the intuition is not there. But
37:55
in any event, what I’m my point I’m trying to make is that in the I work, if you get a hit like, well, let me try my right eye. Oh, let me wear my prisms when I’m gardening. Let’s see what that’s like. You know, you have licensed to do that. Okay, you don’t have to stay in the, in the box with it. Okay, we’ll
38:20
go ahead.
38:23
Thought about wearing the eyepatch while I’m running. So I could focus because I run outside and wearing on my right eye so that I could use my left eye to focus on the different things outside and the different distances. I haven’t done it yet, but or even desert skiing. Here’s what I would say. Take the patch with you. Okay, make sure it’s an even
38:51
area. So I know you’re
38:54
doing a lot of like rocks and whatever.
38:59
And walk and spend part of the time with both eyes, and part of the time walking just with patching your right eye.
39:10
And notice, how do I feel differently? In other words, I want you to bring internal awareness like you did with the prisms
39:21
and alternated. I don’t think I would do it running. I think I would I would rather you I need you to be more internally
39:30
focused.
39:32
And
39:34
so that’s, I would pare it down a little bit. I learned about you running just with your lifestyle left eye because you’re not going to have depth.
39:47
And so So I think those explorations are good but don’t make the outer activity too strenuous. Okay, something
40:00
gentle calm.
40:02
Yeah, you want to, you want to be in a situation where you can go internally. Okay, like I have people that say, Oh, I was driving on the expressway without my glasses.
40:16
That’s not really, you don’t want to, you need to be in a safe environment where you don’t have some big external demand on you. So you can go internal and go, what’s that like, without my, you know, my regular thing, you’ll get much more out of it. And
40:37
so, anyway, that’s, that’s what I was.
40:41
Like, you can even take a walk with the prisms, okay, but do move it on some of it off. Because I want the comparison. That’s the most important.
40:53
Because that’s that, oh, awaken your awareness in your system to change. Otherwise, you’ve just flatlined and go, Well, it’s mechanical. Like I had a father come recently said, My son is not changing, blah, blah, blah, we’re doing all these exercises. So then I said, Look, you’ve got to make him internalize it. And you too, have to, and then all of a sudden, he’s reading now.
41:21
So at first it was external, mechanical. Now it’s internal. Okay, I get it.
41:29
And slowing down. And being mindful inside is, is the left eye is the right brain to
41:40
slow down and receive.
41:44
And if nothing comes, just wait
41:47
and see what happened.
41:49
Like the uncertainty is okay.
41:52
Okay.
41:54
Let it let it come to you.
42:00
So what else? Yeah, I’ve been, I’ve been taking that I’ve been surrendering and letting that happen, which is what brought that suppression back to. So that’s been huge. So I will continue with that and try to push even further.
42:19
The balance work to I’ll continue with that, because she wanted me to balance on both legs and do both eyes and then one eye at a time and then fine. Are both eyes closed? Right? Yep. So question on that? Are you getting any data? Are you getting any, like, awareness or information from that? Oh, yeah, when I first started it, I was like, falling all over the place, like way off, especially with the eyes closed. And then I was able to breathe slower and try to relax. And it was like, easy. It was amazing. So I can definitely tell that it’s a, it when I relax and calm down, I am much more balanced. And so
43:08
yeah, yeah, that’s the kind of stuff you’re looking for, that’s going to feed your brain to eventually,
43:17
you see, with with a double vision, like you have, the best way to work with us, in my opinion, is to do some of the experience visually with each eye separately.
43:33
And if the double is really bothering you, because the suppression is now less than just alternate the patch
43:44
and do some things or just take a break with it. That’s okay, you know, because it is disconcerting to have this double and play with moving it. Like go into the double as a playful exploration. Yeah, I have been I have been I’ve been looking at her the left ICs and then tried to move it kind of and
44:08
so yes, but it is actually less exhausting to see the double than it was when I was suppressing and squinting and tilting my head. So
44:21
yes, the tub was worse, but it’s actually my brain is less tired.
44:28
Do you want me to continue with my reading glasses, going back into the
44:35
what was it? Blurry blurriness, going back to what I was like before Lasix, continue doing that for five to 10 minutes a day with the reading glasses. If you’re getting in, you’re getting some
44:48
Yeah, if you’re getting, it’s helping me relax. Yeah. It’s helping me. Let go. Anyway, anyway, you can get in touch with relaxation.
45:00
Throw your vision.
45:02
Go for it. Okay
45:14
I’m still buddy. Yep, for just a couple more minutes.
45:21
When I blink, my left eye, like moves the picture, I guess that’s probably normal, since it’s not really working like it’s supposed to
45:34
say that say that again. I’ll repeat that for me. So if I’m looking at something and I’m seeing double, and I blink, the left eye picture moves up and then goes back down. When I blink, the right eye stays in the same spot. Okay, so again, there probably needs to be more muscular control that you need to attain with the left eye. That’s why we’re going to have you do the thumb with the tracing. And you know, play with up and down, play with diagonal. And then again, just using the left eye with the bead, and you can do it on your nose, your chin, and your forehead. So just focusing on each bead. You need more we call it visual tracking. With that left eye, left eye.
46:27
Okay. Probably because of all that suppression, don’t you think? For all that time that I was depressing it No, I mean, MORRIS Yes, the suppression is, you know, that’s a big deal as I say, the suppression
46:44
you know, it takes three times the energy. Okay.
46:53
I think the only last thing that I had
46:57
was
46:59
what do you think about neurofeedback?
47:04
Well,
47:06
and in what context? Are you wanting feedback on? Well, I’m thinking it’ll help bring my right brains back online and kind of stabilize the right and left because of some trauma and stuff that I’ve been through which may be causing that left. I’m not to work, right. I don’t know.
47:29
I mean, I think it depends on the practitioner. And can they actually really, you know, pinpoint
47:40
where to put help you put your awareness.
47:46
So I don’t know. I mean, I actually think the neuro biofeedback is what you’re doing. Okay.
47:56
And to kind of throw something else on top of that.
48:03
I mean, I guess if they could get you to
48:09
activate your right brain more
48:22
maybe you could do that. I
48:30
think that’s all I had
48:36
about the cranial sacral Do you feel value in that?
48:42
I do. Um, this past time that I went. So I’ve been twice I saw a lady named Megan Scott.
48:56
For an hour, a week and a half ago. I see her this Friday again.
49:02
It was I cried in the first 10 minutes.
49:07
felt a lot of internal stuff coming up.
49:12
I can feel things moving like she would press on things and I would feel like movement like open space opening up I guess. And then I saw
49:24
the other lady this Monday, so two days ago. And she did she wasn’t as gentle but I I liked it better. I felt
49:36
I do feel value in it. I feel like it’s bringing up some internal stuff. And I feel
49:44
like I need that nurturing I guess it’s a time for me to get away from here and just relax even.
49:57
So,
49:58
good. Good day.
50:00
You know, I think you know, where you get value is where you need to put your energy. Okay? And if you’re not getting value from it, then
50:12
then don’t do it. And it’s better. Again, it’s better for you to
50:19
do
50:23
underwhelmed there’s wisdom versus overwhelm your system
50:28
and have space so that you can metabolize and integrate and digest.
50:38
Now would be the strategy.
50:42
And I think this this vision piece is huge for you.
50:46
I think it’s,
50:48
and so you just need to attend to it every day. And then maybe let’s, let’s talk in a you know, in a few weeks, again, when you’re feeling you’ve got questions, and you’re not sure, that might be the signal to say, Okay, time to talk again. Okay.
51:08
So like, do you feel confident and, like, Now I know my direction, I understand my responses. I know what to do. I know what the next steps are. Is there any place where you’re still feeling like uncertain, or you need more clarification? Now’s the time.
51:30
Yeah, no, I think it’s just a slow moving target. And from what I got from you, is mostly just go internal, and feel my body. And notice when I’m feeling internalized at all, figure out when I’m feeling when I’m doing the exercises, so yeah, no, I think that’s a better I have a better understanding now that I’ve gone through the exercises, and I kind of stressed myself out trying to do them every, you know, every couple hours, and I have to do this and leave me alone. And it was I made it a stressful thing. Of course.
52:10
You have no don’t want to make it. That’s yeah.
52:20
So yeah.
52:26
Think I think I got a path now.
52:31
Yeah. Okay. Again, if the double gets overwhelming, just work each eye separately. And find the places where you are able to get the string in the beads, work the eyes with the prism and then without and notice how the prism is impacting you.
52:53
And,
52:55
yeah, just just keep doing that. And then when you start feeling like okay, I need more, I need input. I need feedback. That’s the signal. We’ll talk again. Okay, that sounds good. How’s that sound? Okay, so and I’ll send you a copy of the
53:14
of the recording, and say, you’ve got a record of it. And you can do it you wake up one day and you go, Oh, my God, I got 3d vision. Yeah, I just feel like that’s what’s gonna happen. I really do. I believe it
53:32
would be such a major healing of unification. You know, we’re, we’re unified anyway, we just forget. And then we start fragmenting because of stress, trauma, you know, and all that. So, yeah.
53:49
All right. Well, keep in touch and feel free to email me if you feel the Okay. And I’ll do my best
53:57
to help clarify stuff. He was so many questions at once. I’m sorry.
54:06
That’s fine. If it gets to be too many questions, then it’s better off we just talk. Yeah. Okay.
54:14
Because then, because there are things that we can convey face to face it in an email, it’s, you know, yeah. Impersonal just Yeah. And I just think like, even that, that example of the prism, and wearing it and kind of prompting you to look at it a different way. I think that was a great breakthrough for you. Yeah, hard to do.
54:39
Yes, it is. Right. Yeah.
54:43
Okay, I wish you the best keep in touch. Good luck. Thank you.
54:49
Means you need me. Okay. Thank you. Bye.
