info_outlineIn this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld explores how natural vision is a survival skill that can help in dire times, like we are seeing right now with the global Coronavirus pandemic.
The Bates Method of natural vision improvement teaches you how to improve the overall health of your eyes holistically, which can lead to clearer vision naturally and thus decreased dependency on artificial lenses, glasses, and contacts.
Countries around the world are shutting down, and closing "non-essential" businesses. In some places, that includes eye doctors.
What are you going to do if your glasses break while in quarantine?
What if you're not able to reorder more contact lenses and you run out?
How will you function in your everyday life?
That's where the Bates Method comes in.
By learning simple relaxation techniques and implementing vision enhancing practices, you can learn how to see clearly with just your naked eyes and no longer worry about depending on visual crutches anymore.
Nathan also points out the synchronicity of Dr. Bates publishing an article in the March 1920 Better Eyesight Magazine called "Influenza - A Quick Cure". Listen to The Better Eyesight Podcast to hear the full article!
Also, just last month Nathan released Episode 37 of The Naked Eye Podcast called "How Your Worldview & Self Image Can Influence Your Eyesight". Little did he know that a few weeks later the entire human population on the planet would be going through a major worldview shift in a very short amount of time. Listen to The Naked Eye Podcast to learn more.
Finally, Nathan also invites you to practice seeing beyond this current health crisis and clarify your vision of your future. There are so many unknowns right now that can be quite unsettling. If your future looks fuzzy, spend some time palming your eyes and visualizing a clearer version of what you'd like to see in the coming months and years ahead.
