Through a Different Lens

Yikes!!!!
Age has set in and I am deteriorating on the spot. I have been having some eye problems (a suggestion imprinted for my mum’s eye problems back in January?) and apparently my sight has changed significantly from last year. I thought it would be a simple get-new-lens-for-the-glasses, but it seems more complicated. My sight has changed so much so that with the new lens, I have perspective issues and headaches. I have been back to the optometrist twice and they told me to hang in there until next Monday. I asked why and the response is that it will take my brain a little while to catch up with the change. Apparently my mind is trying to compensate for the changes as compared to my old lens and it will take a little time for the mind to adjust to the new lens.
Soooooo…if it is a mind thing, then I can influence the change through hypnotism. I can nudge my mind into accepting the change a little sooner. However, as the headache looms large, I am having trouble focusing. Hypnotist out there, any suggestions for creating that change?

Not a hypnotic suggestion, but it sounds to me like your prescription is not right. Just a thought. Happened to David once - they put the wrong lenses in his frames. Same thing, bad headaches.

Hi,
I have had similar years ago when I changed prescription but it did ease within 24 hours… If you and the optician is sure that it is the correct prescription then you could try some timeline work. I like this technique which has an amazingly long name ‘ Advanced Pseudo Regressive Therapy’… or APRT in short….
1. Go forward in time to when the problem has been resolved…
2. Bring back the ‘future you’ to the present and then take the present you and the future
you back to before you got the glasses you need to adapt to
3. The future you can chat with the past you - discuss the problems, work through them, knowing they will be resolved
4. Go through the transition phase together, with a new perspective, knowing that the problem will be resolved
5. At the end of the transition phase, thank all the ‘you’s’ for their work and let them go back to their relevant time
Hope this helps,
Kate.

Hi,
I’ve been playing with this recently too.
If this is still happening. Ask yourself, when did you decide that you had eye problems? Go back to before the event. What do you need to learn from this event, the learnings of which, would allow you to clear up or improve your eyesight?
Have some fun, what happens if you DTI with a person who has perfect eyesight?
Happy Days

Hi!
I am currently working with a 26 year-old client who has been experiencing very annoying visual floaters and flashes. He has had extensive medical work-ups and the doctors tell him that they can do nothing, but over time he may get used to it. He reported they get much worse with stress, and he has had panic attacks. I could find no clinical research on using hypnosis for this, but some anecdotal discussion that hypnosis could be helpful.
I also found out that some opthamologists recommend going out at night to roll up your eyes to stare up at the moon for 5 minutes! They don’t know why it works but it seems to help. Haha - sounds like a hypnotic induction, doesn’t it?
So we proceeded with my client on the basis that hypnosis could definitely help with the stress, and since the brain can often learn to ignore floaters, hypnosis might accelerate that selective attention process. He is highly suggestible and at his 2nd session last night, he reported that floaters are now barely noticeable. Yeah!!!
