39 - Natural Vision Correction without Glasses with Lizzie May
In this episode, I spoke with the amazing Lizzie May who helps people improve their eye sight without glasses, contact lenses or eye surgery. In fact, she helps improve people's vison by getting to the root cause, through their mind and not their eyes. I have referred clients to Lizzie over the last 20 or so years, when a client has presented with eye-sight problems. In my line of work, eye sight problems can potentially lead to chronic pain in muscles and joints and even disease of organs and glands due to the eyes intimate connection to The Atlas in the Upper Cervical Spine and The Atlas's direct connection to the spinal cord, therefore having the potential to alter the body's posture and biomechanics as well as nerve supply to organs and glands.We discussed:4:30Lizzie's Journey & Vision Problems As a Child20:20William Bates and The Bates Method36:40Common Eye Conditions 48:08The problems with corrective glasses, contact lenses and eye surgery59:40Modern Technology and their detrimental effects on vision.1:08:35Bates Method Techniques and Guided MediationYou can find Lizzie @:www.seeing.org/lmBates Method books:https://seeing.org/shop/usa/books.html Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/
