Frankly, to keep your eye balls in peak condition, learn & practise the natural vision improvement

NATURAL VISION IMPROVEMENT by Janet Goodrich I have owned this wonderful book since the late eighties, when I started to have an ardent desire to learn more about the eye-brain connection. I have deliberately bought it despite its new agey connotations. I have learned that, whatever we learn in a lifetime, as much as 90% will enter us through our eyes. Our brains are stimulated more by visual cues than any other senses. Our eyes also form a very significant part of our brains, some two-thirds of which are fully dedicated to vision & associated processing. Jokes aside, sexual attraction relies greatly on vision! Despite its comparative size, each eye ball has more significant moving parts than the Columbia space shuttle! I love to read & I am an avid as well as a voracious reader. (From early '92 to mid-2004, I actually owned a small bookstore. It fueled & bankrolled my reading pursuits.) Naturally, I want to keep my eye balls in peak condition. I was introduced to the book by chance. I did not buy the book on the grounds that I had wanted to get rid of my glasses. Today, I still wear my glasses, only when I drive or watch action movies on TV. When I read or work on my laptop, I don't need my glasses at all. This is inspite of the fact that my laptop screen display has been configured with small font size, especially my Internet Explorer, which allows me to read large chunks of information at one glance. The most productive learning experiences I got out of this book are the 'natural vision improvement' exercises introduced by the author. They are: - Palming exercise; - Sunning exercise; - Near/Far Focus exercise; - Peripheral Vision exercise; I have done these exercises for more than fifteen years. Oftentimes, I could amaze myself - & my friends - particularly when I could read relatively small prints on distant sign-boards or posters. I have also combined the vision exercises with some of the 'Brain Gym' exercises, namely, The Owl, Neck Roll, Cross Crawl & Brain Buttons. Additionally, I do a lot of diaphragmatic breathing exercises. I find all these exercises very useful in maintaining my active physiological frame of mind as well as my sharp mental focus when I read. I have also taught these exercises to professional adults in my creativity classes, as well as to students in the schools. I have also shared them with my own friends. The feedback from them has always been positive. Of course, from the book, I have also achieved a much better understanding of the eye-brain connection. If you are interested in this book, my suggestion is to read it with an open mind! Frankly, if you want to keep your eye balls in peak condition, learn & practise the natural vision improvement exercises in this wonderful book! They have been field tested by me for more than fifteen years!

New approach to medicine

This well conceived and instructive volume combines empirical data and wholistic methods for just about every kind of eye condition short of blindness. I met Janet Goodrich at a vision improvement course at Crystal Waters. She is one of the most interesting and eccentric ( in a pleasant way) people I have ever met. At the course I not only improved my vision, albeit marginally, but also lost weight. I don't know if she still lives in Australia. These natural methods are intense and so a lot of people probably won't have time to use them but I can testify that they work, although very gradually. Few people have the patience these days to stick to these routines unfortunately. If you ever read these reviews, Janet, best wishes. Regards, Mike.

I don't have to wear glasses because of this book!

An excellent book! When I first started looking into alternatives to contacts and glasses I was lucky enough to have a friend refer this book to me. I started reading it and immediately began to apply some of the simple vision exercises. My eyesight improved radically! - About an immediate 75% improvement (towards what I remember from youth). This book had lots of simple eye exercises I could do during short 2 - 5 minute breaks during my workday. It was also really helpful in showing me how to deal with the other mind/body issues related to my deteriorated vision as well as simply helpful instruction on how to avoid eyestrain and the blurriness that comes with it now and in future. Due to these methods, one of my friends who has worn glasses for half their life has totally repaired their eyesight to the point they feel confident enough to have thrown out all their glasses et al! I was lucky enough to find this book early and I've only just begun! Five stars for the lady that keeps me from having to wear glasses!!! Thank you my friend and thank you Janet!

This is a very valuable book. Thank you, Ms. Goodrich!!

This is a great book. It not only allowed me to put away my glasses, it also gave me a strong understanding of just how powerful our minds are. About half the book is focused on physical things such as how to relax the muscles in and around our eyes, how to strengthen these muscles, etc. The other half is filled with mental exercises and games that teach our brains to fully process whatever information comes through the eyes. Not only was this book successful in helping me see better, it also gave me a framework for other learining that has really come in handy with other parts of my life.

This vision improvement method works.

A great book full of detailed instructions. I have used Janet Goodrich's method in conjuction with the Cambridge Institute Vision Program and have had very good results. My vision has gone from 20/400 to about 20/200 so far and I plan on saying goodbye to my glasses someday. A life enhancing book that is easy and fun to read.
