In this episode, Certified Bates Method Teacher, Nathan Oxenfeld answers the simple question - What Is The Bates Method? and proceeds to explain exactly how it is possible that you can retrain your eyes, brain, and mind to see clearly again without using glasses or contacts or getting a laser eye surgery. This idea was suggested to Nathan by a woman he met in one of his free natural vision improvement walks he hosted throughout Europe in October. She requested an episode where I explain the Bates concepts in simple and easy to understand terms so she can share it with her friends and family who want to learn more about what it is and how it works. Nathan also briefly explains what he does as a Bates Method teacher and coach and overviews some of the ways he teaches people how to see clearly again naturally.

In this episode of the Naked Eye Podcast, Nathan interviews Marybetts Sinclair, who is a massage therapist and natural vision improvement teacher from Corvallis, Oregon. Marybetts has been a massage therapist since 1975 and loves exploring the connection between chronic upper body tension and vision problems. Her interest in this began when she noticed that the relaxation she provided people through her bodywork and massage would almost immediately vanish the moment they stood up and put their glasses back on. To facilitate the most comprehensive solution, she started referring her clients to see other practitioners of the Feldenkrais Method, the Alexander Technique, and the Bates Method. After significantly improving her own vision using the Bates Method, she also became certified to teach it and incorporate it with her preexisting massage practice. Marybetts is also an avid juggler and talks about how juggling can grow your brain and improve your vision.

In this episode, Nathan invites you to think about your vision in terms of the past, the present, and the future. Your past vision refers to your vision history. To clarify your past vision you need to explore your own unique underlying root causes to your vision problem, whether it was physical, mental, or emotional in nature. Your present vision refers to your vision right now. To clarify your present vision you need to create and maintain a daily holistic vision routine. You also need to make sure you are staying present during your practices, which is referred to as your Eye-Mind connection. Your future vision refers to your vision of your future and the future of the world. To clarify your future vision you need to set goals and work toward achieving those goals by creating vision boards and visualizing your future self. Reflect on your 2016, look toward your 2017, and enjoy the right here and right now. Email nathan@integraleyesight.com to share your vision goals or ask questions.
