Restoring Your Eyesight : A Taoist Approach

Fewer than three percent of children in the industrial world 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-industrialised 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 worsening 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.

This book offers natural methods for improvement of poor eyesight and stress-related difficulties, including dyslexia and ADHD and combines the core values of the Bates method of natural vision improvement and Taoism.

In "Restoring Your Eyesight", Doug Marsh offers a natural alternative that shows readers how to improve their eyesight by taking conscious control of their vision health. He combines proven methods pioneered a century ago by eye doctor, William Bates, with the ancient Chinese wisdom of Taoism.

Marsh describes how 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 behavioural and stress-related syndromes, such as dyslexia, ADHD, stuttering, TMJ and anxiety disorders.

He draws upon the core values of the Bates method and Taoism - rhythm, softness, return, balance and wholeness - to provide guidelines for a holistic healing of outer and inner vision.
