083: My First Two Teacher Training Graduates with June Milich and Nalini Ramji

Author: Nathan Oxenfeld: Certified Teacher of the Bates Method, Yoga, Meditation, a April 13, 2025 Duration: 1:11:12

In this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld talks to his first two graduates of his Natural Vision Teacher Training Program, June Milich and Nalini Ramji, about a couple of key concepts that have helped them personally improve their own vision naturally and have started to help others as well.

First, Nathan explains a little bit about the teacher training process and how it came about in 2020 and 2021, which led to the launch of the Beta version of his teacher training program in 2022.

Then you'll hear from June about the best way to approach your vision improvement practices, and how important it is to tune into your feelings throughout the process. She even guides you through an experiential practice with swinging and feeling the results of the relaxation.

To finish, you'll hear from Nalini about the concept of "kind eyes", and how to benefit from both imagining being looked at with kind eyes, and to practice looking at the world with kind eyes.

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.
