What's causes eye health issues?

In the UK, millions of people have eye health issues and wear glasses or contact lenses. Many people believe it's just one of those unfortunate facts of life. But did you know that there’s an emotional connection to all eye health issues (even short- and long-sightedness?), and that we can do something about it?

Our vision is a crucial part of our sensory system: it is estimated that 40% of our perception comes through seeing. 40% comes through feeling, and the remaining 20% comes through hearing. So what we feel when we see creates 80% of our perception!

 

META-Vision offers an advanced integrative approach to eye health

META-Medicine is a new and advanced system that explains why we get health issues, from watering eyes, spots and skin rashes to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. META-Medicine shows:

• How our symptoms are always meaningful
• How and why illness begins - exactly why people get dry eyes, conjunctivitis, cataracts and other eye problems
• How our eyesight is intimately linked to our emotions, behaviour and social environment
• How all dis-eases are actually a process, not a fixed state. This goes for short- and long-sightedness too

How does this new approach work? The goal of META-Medicine is to find out the cause of the problem, whether it’s a vision issue or any other health challenge, and treat the cause, rather than simply ameliorating the symptoms.

 

Step  1: uncovering and understanding the meaning behind your eye symptoms

Do you think that illness is the body making a mistake – or a highly meaningful response to a specific stimulus?

Modern medicine sees symptoms as the body’s mistake, and therefore seeks to suppress or counteract them. If we develop short-sightedness, we wear corrective lenses. It seems to make sense. Even many complementary and alternative therapies seek solutions without understanding the cause of the problem first.

META-Medicine demonstrates that the body never makes mistakes – instead, its reactions are always highly meaningful. Our symptoms arise in response to life events, with the goal of overcoming challenges, restoring balance, and ultimately, ensuring survival.

For example, consider the function of tears: they are an expression of emotion. So if we have dry eyes, this is not the body making a mistake. Dry eyes show our inability to grieve, the inability to cry about a shocking, sad event, like losing a loved one or facing a pain we just don't want to face.

We've all heard the usual explanations - spending too long in front of a computer screen, using inadequate lighting, not eating our carrots, or being victims of genetics (in reality, our genes are not fixed in stone - see The Biology of Belief by Dr Bruce Lipton).

META-Medicine goes beyond these current ideas about risk factors. They are only part of the picture – they may predispose us to developing certain health issues. What actually begins a dis-ease process is a shock, a significant emotional event: a negative experience that is unexpected, emotional and dramatic. If we don’t know what to do in the moment of shock, we freeze, and the body’s emergency programmes take over.

The emotion felt the time of the shock will determine which organ reacts and the severity of the symptoms. Eye problems are caused by different types of visual shocks.

Step 2: Finding the root cause

Why do we get eye problems? Common explanations include spending too long in front of a computer screen, using inadequate lighting, or -as we heard as children - not eating our carrots!We often develop the same eye issues as our parents, which is usually taken as a sign that we're victims of our genes. Interestingly, it's more likely that we've unintentionally taken on their beliefs and emotional patterns - for moreinformation on this, see The Biology of Belief by

Dr Bruce Lipton.

META-Medicine goes beyond the current ideas about risk factors. They are only part of the picture - they may predispose us to developing certain health issues. What actually begins a disease process is a shock, a significant emotional event: a negative experience that is unexpected, emotional and dramatic. If we don't know what to do, we respond by freezing rather than immediatefight or flight, and the body's emergency programmes take over.The emotion felt at the time of shock will determine which organ responds. The emotions that cause eye problems are visual shocks (the body responds logically and intelligently)!

Examples of common eye health issues and their corresponding meanning :

• Visual separation: losing sight of somebody -different types of separation are related to eczema around the eyes, eyelid problems, conjunctivitis and cataracts;
• Visual self-devaluation - inferiority about not being able to see something leads to eye muscle problems;
• Visual disgust conflict - causes styes;
• Fear of the future, or of seeing a distant danger, and wanting to see it better - causes hyperopia, or long-sightedness. Many people in their 40s and 50s get long sightedness becausethey want to see what's going to happen in their future;
• Fear of the future or an event in the distance,and wanting to see what's close and safe - causes myopia, or short-sightedness. For example, teenagers who fear impending exams.

These are just a few very basic emotional themes - each area of the eye has a very specific meaning and emotional connection. During a META-Medicine diagnosis, we piece together the meaning of the particular organ with the shocking event that happened to the client, often even uncovering when the shock happened and who it was with!

 

Step 3: Uncovering where the client is in the dis-ease process

There are two phases to all illnesses: the stress phase and the regeneration phase. During the stress phase, we often notice:

• Mind: compulsive thinking about the shocking event - in this case, the thing we saw or couldn't see - and how it made us feel;
• Body: sympathetic nervous system, with cold hands and feet, sleeplessness and suppressed appetite;
• Social environment: avoiding the place or person the shock involved, and behaving differently with others.

When we overcome the shock, we move into the regeneration phase, where the body repairs and rebalances. We observe:

• Mind: quieter and more peaceful mind, no longer obsessing;
• Body: parasympathetic nervous system, with raised peripheral temperature, increased appetite and greater need for rest and sleep;
• Social environment: normalisation of behaviour, although usually less energetic and more introverted, as all our energy goes into healing.

Although the second phase is the healing phase, this is often when we experience most symptoms. For example, conjunctivitis and cataracts are second phase symptoms.During a session, we use all the indicators above, as well as an understanding of the biology of the organ involved, to work out which phase a client is in. If they are still in stress, we need to help them get out of first phase and into second phase. If they are already in regeneration, we can
put in place supportive measures to make healing faster and less painful or problematic.

Step 4: Ascertaining the underlying emotion of the dis-ease process

The emotion felt at the time of the significant emotional event will determine which organ responds. Uncovering the emotions is therefore critical to understanding the mind-body reaction and for the healing process. The significant emotional event may have occurred a long time ago and the emotion felt at the time of the shock is still present. This explains why a process becomes chronic.

 

Step 5: Creating a META-Health therapy plan

for overcoming the eye or any other health issue. Because we understand through META-Medicine, that dis-ease is a process - not a fixed state - we
see the possibility for overcoming the issue and resolving all aspects, mind, body, socially and environmentally, rather than simply addressing
the symptoms. Once we understand the client's situation, wework together to create a plan for healing:

• Mind - resolving the emotions and negative thoughts about the shocking situation. Effective techniques for release include hypnosis, NLP and EFT. This is the most important area for healing, because it's emotion that starts the dis-ease process in the first place;
• Body - this is where many complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, nutritional support, homoeopathy and vision training, are extremely valuable;
• Spirit - gaining the lessons from the issue and evolving consciously. For example, learning to see life and your future more clearly;
• Social environment - actively changing your interactions with others, behaviour and life. Coaching can be useful here.
