The Naked Eye Podcast: Exploring Natural Alternatives to Glasses, Contacts, and Surgeries

The Naked Eye Podcast is a show designed to help people learn how to see clearly with the naked eye. No glasses, no contacts, no laser eye surgeries… just natural vision improvement. Together we’ll explore the holistic side of eyecare and how natural alternatives like the Bates Method, Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork and more can give you healthier eyes, which leads to better eyesight and insight. Nathan Oxenfeld will be teaching you natural vision tips and vision enhancement practices, covering advances in vision training, vision science, and neuroplasticity, challenging orthodox views and belief systems, debunking vision myths, and conducting interviews with the world’s leading natural vision educators and other alternative practitioners that offer modalities that also enhance eyesight & insight. He'll also be answering listener questions and creating a forum for people who are in the process of improving their own vision holistically to share their experiences, challenges, and successes. This podcast will also document Nathan's ongoing travels, events, classes, workshops, and retreats to raise awareness of natural alternatives to glasses, contacts, and surgery.

In this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld announces his relocation to Burlington, Vermont and reflects on the Asheville chapter of Integral Eyesight Improvement's origin story.

This tale spans a decade from 2011 to 2021, and includes stops at spiritual ashrams, Central American crater lakes, various North Carolinian cities, down under in New Zealand and Australia, and now continues on in Vermont, USA.

After about 10 years in North Carolina, Integral Eyesight Improvement will now be based in Vermont. The cross-country move caused a slight pause in Nathan's involvement with the vision practice, and for that he apologizes to anyone who has reached out and has yet to receive a response. He appreciates your patience during this time of transition.

Stay tuned for more exciting episodes in the second half of the year. Please email info@integraleyesight.com with any questions, feedback, or suggestions for future episodes of The Naked Eye Podcast.

In this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld, speaks about the importance of a morning routine and invites you to follow along with his guided routine consisting of chanting, breathing, and meditating.

The actual follow-along morning meditation routine begins at 16:00 if you want to skip ahead to that experience. The first 16 minutes are spent explaining the mechanics and the purposes of the chants and pranayamas.

1) Opening Chants and Centering

2) Pranayamas - Kapalabhati (Breath of Fire) & Nadi Suddhi (Alternate Nostril Breath)

3) Silent Meditation

4) Closing Chants and Gratitude

If you spend 1 minute in each steps, this morning routine only takes 4 minutes. If you extend the pranayamas and the silent meditation time, you can go for longer. Or, you can follow this with more Yoga practices or more Bates Method practices.

Check out the Insight Timer app for more help with learning meditation or structuring your own daily routine at home.
