================

Yesterday I finished Phase 5 of autogenics.  I only have one more
phase left!  I am started to feel the benefits of autogenics very
quickly now and I have also been able to use it anytime (I don’t have
to be laying down).  My legs finally got very heavy and now I can slow
down my heartbeat and my breathing and relax my whole body.  It has
been a great tool and I’m really looking forward to the last phase.  I
start today and it lasts for two weeks.  After that I will have a
simple set of phrases to use for relaxation and I can add my own
phrases to help with my eyesight.  I’m going to incorporate ideas from
Bates and Grunwald in developing some self-hypnotic phrases for
helping my vision; we’ll see how it works!

This week I have also been taking 25 minute walks almost everyday
without my glasses on.  I still get clear flashes and when I’m outside
my vision sometimes remains clearer for long periods.  On some of my
walks I even forget I’m not wearing my glasses!  I’m really getting
used to how I see without my glasses and am happier without them than
with.

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned something at the very end that I
wanted to reiterate.  I am wearing glasses that are OD -5D and OS
-4.25D (these are glasses I purchased in January, not quite the right
fit for both eyes), but I can now see my vision clear to 20/20 when I
wear these glasses.  I’m going to order a new pair that are -5 D in
both eyes, and possibly a pair that are -4.25 in both eyes as well.
When I started I was wearing OD -8D and OS -7.25D!  So even though my
vision with these reduced glasses isn’t perfectly sharp all the time
if I practice my good vision habits with my glasses on, my vision will
become very sharp.   I’m excited as I had never before been able to
see such improvement while wearing glasses, only when I wasn’t wearing
them.  I still try to go without glasses at all times unless I need
them, but I imagine I wear glasses approximately 8 hours per day.
Hopefully this means I’m spending the other 8 waking hours without
glasses!

I have been doing some swings, but no palming.  I also shift my vision
whenever I can.  Sometimes I forget but it’s becoming more of a
habit.  I can tell much more strongly now when I’m not practicing my
shift, breathe, and blink because my eyes immediately become painfully
dry and if I don’t rest them it’s unbearable.

I’m working on another graph that I can update more frequently and
post it on its own page so it’s easier to track my progress.  I also
plan to diligently plot my Snellen chart reading results for every day
and have two charts; one for bright mid-day daylight conditions and
the other for dim light conditions.
