The Book
Out of Focus
Being one with the Tao is to be at peace,
and to be in conflict with it,
leads to chaos and dysfunction
Perhaps the richest comedy presented by the evolutionary process is that creatures nature designed to have perfect posture and vision should today represent a picture of bespectacled decrepitude.
Restoring Your Eyesight addresses the problem head-on. Fewer than three percent of children in North America are born with visual defects, yet as they become adults nearly two thirds will become reliant on prescription lenses to see clearly. Virtually nonexistent in pre-industrialized cultures, this epidemic of blurred vision can be traced to mental, physical, and spiritual imbalances in modern society. The traditional “quick fixes” of eyeglasses and contact lenses only serve to cover the true cause of blurred vision while increasing eye-strain, and often progressively worsen eyesight as the eyes become trained to work within the confines of the corrective lenses. The advent of refractive surgery carries even more serious risks.
Amid this "chaos and dysfunction" in our technological society lies a natural alternative…
The secret waits for the insight
Of eyes unclouded by longing
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.
Restoring Your Eyesight educates readers how to gradually improve their blurred eyesight by taking conscious control of their vision health. Proven methods pioneered a century ago by eye doctor William Bates are combined with the ancient Chinese wisdom of Taoism. Vision goes deeper than the eyes and optic nerves, extending well into the layers of the mind, emotions, and spirit. Eyesight difficulties are often connected to behavioral and stress-related syndromes, such as dyslexia, ADHD, stuttering, TMJ, and anxiety disorders. Core values of the Bates Method and Taoism – rhythm, softness, return, balance, and wholeness – are unified to provide guidelines for a holistic healing of outer and inner vision.
