This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. So I actually want to start off with a little bit of a warm-up. And this is going to prepare us for the learning and the healing that we're going to experience as we move through today. So this is a practice that involves using sound. And it's going to open up the bones around the face, the head. And this particular practice is something I've been using quite a long time as a way to clear up myopia. So it's kind of perfect. We have done a flavor of this before in an earlier session together. And this, I'll just give you a little backstory on this just for a minute. About 15 years ago, I was invited to give a workshop in California, Santa Monica. And it was at a studio that was run by a woman some of you may know have known her, her name is Emily Conrad, and Emily was the founder of a somatic practice called continuum movement. And after the workshop, she was very taken by what I was teaching, and we became friends and I actually studied her work. And then she became a patient of mine, and continue a movement, which you could actually look up continuummovement.com, is a fabulous healing modality that involves using different sounds, different movements, and different breathing sequences. Emily wrote a book before she died called life on land. And it is a groundbreaking book that you'll read it was written on and Oh 2013, you'll read it and you go, Oh, my goodness, this is what's happening today. And she really draws a connection between our cultural and social challenges. And what's happened to the body, what's happened to the lack of movement, the robot, and the mechanistic ways that we well we are exposed to. And if you go back to the Industrial Revolution, that was a place where we began to really Institute the repetitive mechanical movements, which, you know, created all this consumerism that we are now dealing with on so many levels, and how that's impacted the environment and our health. And what Emily discovered in the Continuum movement is that the more we step outside of the repetitive robotic movements, we have the opportunity to regain our vitality. And as she would call it, our biological intelligence. In other words, on a cellular level, we have the intelligence to heal if we're giving given the proper prescription and what I mean by proper prescription. I'm talking about the holistic mind-body experiences, some of which I've been teaching. And there's something called a closed system and an open system and a closed system means we kind of stay in the same bandwidth, which is a pretty narrow bandwidth. That's called a closed system. And you may have noticed that since you've been introduced to me that I live in quite a broad bandwidth. And this broad bandwidth is called an open system. And when you live in an open system, the organisms that live in an open system thrive. There is a certain level of neuroplasticity that can occur when you live in an open system.
