038: Natural Vision as a Survival Skill & Seeing Beyond the Pandemic

038: Natural Vision as a Survival Skill & Seeing Beyond the Pandemic

Author: Nathan Oxenfeld: Certified Teacher of the Bates Method, Yoga, Meditation, a March 22, 2020 Duration: 22:31

In 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.

What if the strain you feel in your eyes isn't a life sentence, but a habit you can change? The Naked Eye Podcast: Exploring Natural Alternatives to Glasses, Contacts, and Surgeries moves beyond conventional eyecare to investigate a holistic path. Hosted by Nathan Oxenfeld, a certified teacher of the Bates Method, yoga, and meditation, this podcast delves into the often-overlooked connection between how we use our eyes and our overall mental and physical state. Each conversation is a deep dive into practical, natural vision improvement. You’ll hear detailed discussions on techniques like breathwork and specific visual relaxation practices, all framed within the understanding that eyesight is not a static condition but a dynamic sense intertwined with stress, posture, and attention. The goal here isn't just to see a clearer chart, but to cultivate healthier eyes and a more insightful relationship with your own vision. Nathan guides listeners through principles that challenge the assumption that blur is permanent, offering a thoughtful exploration of how alternative methods can lead to tangible changes in daily life. Tune in for a nuanced perspective that redefines what it means to care for your eyes, focusing on the innate capacity for clarity that exists without external aids. This is a space for anyone curious about the potential of their own vision, eager to learn from a teacher who approaches seeing as an integral part of well-being.
