A recent Testimonial by Kari Hamele

Hi Geoff.

I have been reflecting on what a beautiful day it was Sunday at the workshop. I am now armed with the link I need to improve my eyesight, and also the warmth of your spirit. It truly was an honour to learn from you.

I woke up Monday morning and went straight into "eye" exercises, walked to the loo, stopped to say my affirmation and open up my proprioreceptors. It was a lovely way to start the day. Tuesday was much the same...only a 7 and a 4 year old joined me!! I have been doing the exercises I remember. And have done them in the car and walking down the street. And to be quite honest my vision is more SHARP, and the colour seems more vivid! Thank you so much for teaching me the techniques and reminding me that the simple little techniques are well worth doing. Daily!

Also, I meant to ask you Sunday to repeat slowly the intention that you recite before asking your body for answers. Starts something like " I clear my mind, body, spirit..." It was such a nice statement that covered many boundaries. I would love it if you could write it for me. And with your permission, I would like to add some of it to my own.

I also want to thank you for preparing a useful manual. There are times when I have received notes from a course and they have been copied and bound so many times that I wonder what I am reading. I appreciate the clarity, professionalism and the poetry/lyrics. Thanks again.

Client Testimonials:

1. "G'day Geoff. You may recall that, with my daughter Sarah, we attended an eyesight improvement course early in the year. Surprisingly enough, when we got our eyes checked a couple of months later, both optometrists declared we had improve by about half a dioptre." Terry Roberts, Project Manager, Richmond Victoria. Thanks Terry, good news.

2. "Hi Geoff. Just wanted to send you an email and let you know that my eyes are improving. I have been doing the eye exercises every day since I saw you and I have definitely noticed an improvement.
So just wanted to say thanks and I will probably like to catch up for another session when I am next in Sydney. I hope you are travelling well. Take care, love Elaine" Thank you, Elaine Toogood, Darwin.

3. "Dear Geoff, I am happy to repeat the course as I experienced a very noticeable improvement in a short period of time - whilst I regularly followed your routine. However, I gradually "slacked off" on doing the exercises and my vision has responded accordingly, so I look forward to being re-enthused by your dedicated and positive approach." Judy Sandri of Kirrawee. Thank you, Judy.

4. "Hi Geoff, I thoroughly enjoyed your course and so did my friend. I am still taking the remedies and doing some of the exercises. My friend and her mum do them religiously and have seen a great improvement in their eyesight." Sharon F Sunshine Coast. Thank you, Sharon.

Eyesight Improvement Courses

1. Developing the Eyesight Courses

After my Teaching Career of 34 years, I retrained as a Naturopath and Natural Therapist and began developing courses in eyesight improvement drawing from my University study and experience in Human Movement Science, Sports Medicine, Exercise Physiology and Programming Skills as well as my training in many different natural modalities.

2. Designing the Activities

I designed specific, progressive, challenging activities including proprioceptor movements into the eyesight program which activate many regions, neural pathways and receptors of the brain which link directly or indirectly with the visual cortex. When these activities and movements are performed with specific eye exercises and focusing skills, the resulting accumulative eyesight memory is greatly accelerated and enhanced. Each participant is taken through these activities at their own pace, gaining personal satisfaction and confidence along the way.

What is the end result? PUT SIMPLY, YOU WILL SEE BETTER.

3. Using A Successful Theme

My eyesight improvement theme of "Breathe / Blink / Relax / Focus" has proven highly successful and forms the basis of a delicate focusing skills program.

4. Adopting Medical Research

4a. Recent scientific and medical research has proven that we can turn our memory back and allow the affected part of the brain (the brain controls vision) to re-build.

By using this research information, I designed a program in which the brain needs to re-learn how to see. This program has been incorporated into my eyesight improvement with selected clients.

We learn what is not working, we must now re-learn how to see. Using proven Kinesiology Practice, a client recognises (1) a time of their best eyesight or (2) a time before deterioration of their eyesight; determine any emotional blockages which need to be cleared (both directions in time); recall memory of that period; bring that memory back to the present time. It's not quite as simple as that, but that is the basic concept. This program is not for everyone but works for those who are open to new ways of learning and healing. Come and see for yourself.

4b. More recent research, University of Oxford, (Oct 12th 2009 The Australian), has shown that the brain is mobile and adaptable and that it is possible for the brain to condition its own wiring system to operate more efficiently, to cause changes in white matter, the nerve strands which help different parts of the brain communicate with each other. This process involves a moderately easy hand-eye coordination activity progressing to a more difficult hand-eye coordination activity using one's concentration and focusing skills. It will only be considered for those who have the patience to practise over a 6 week period for 30 minutes a day.

5. The Master Hing Eyesight Improvement Plan

This Plan is a series of 4 programs containing 48 activities, which I designed to correct a range of eyesight problems when I was commissioned to present my Plan to Ophthalmologists in 4 major cities in China.

You will watch, learn and practise the very latest in eyesight research.

GENERAL INFORMATION

VISION PROBLEMS:

Near-Sightedness (or myopia) occurs when images are focused in front of the retina instead of on it as in normal vision. Consequently, objects in the distance appear blurred. You may find that you have to sit very close to the front of a classroom or theatre in order to see what is going on.

Far-Sightedness (or hyperopia) is the opposite of near-sightedness. With this disorder, the lens of the eye focuses images behind the retina, making nearby objects appear blurry. You may find that you need to hold the newspaper at arms length to be able to read it clearly.

Astigmatism happens when the eye lacks a single point of focus. This can be the result of an abnormality within the lens. Some objects may appear blurry while others clear.

Night Vision Difficulties i.e. difficulty seeing properly at night, may indicate a deficiency in vitamin A or perhaps a disease of the retina.

Oxidation The process of oxidation is thought to contribute to degenerative eye disorders. Antioxidant herbs and nutrients may reduce the risk of cell damage from oxidation. Anthocyanidins, in the herb BILBERRY , have been clinically proven to improve the blood flow to the vessels of the eye and is particularly indicated for people with night blindness, near-sightedness and eye fatigue associated with over-use (as occurs, for example, with computer operators and professional drivers).

Poor Eyesight: Poor eyesight can be improved and sometimes completely corrected, however, in order to see clearly we need to let go of the "effort to see". When we are able to do this, (which may take considerable training in concentration and relaxation), we allow our eyes to see for us, without stressful or mental eyestrain.

Vision Problems: Pioneer in vision correction, Dr. William Bates states, "over 90% of vision problems are caused by mental eye strain, and almost all vision problems can be corrected by relearning proper habits". Supporting the Bates' method, I use a constant theme and successful formula of "breathe / blink / relax / focus" with my clients in a Personal Eyesight Improvement Course. It Works!

COURSE:

Eye Program: This eye program is designed to relax and strengthen your eyes just as you would any other weak part of your body. It is excellent for people with near or distance problems including astigmatism, failing eyesight, blurred vision, reading at arm's length, suffering from eye strain, computer strain, headaches or moving to stronger glasses.

Course Times: Unless otherwise stated, the course commences at 9.30am, (gather at 9.15am), and concludes at 4.45pm.

Payment: For administrative purposes and to finalise numbers, payment is due no later than 2 weeks prior to the course. Payment is by cheque, cash or electronic.

Enroll: In order to secure your place in the course, please enrol by email geoff@naturaltherapist.com.au or by phone on 02 9522 9595 or 0418 988 083.

Refreshments: Teas are available.

What to Wear and Bring: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and perhaps a sun-hat. Bring a water bottle, your healthy lunch and paper / pen.

Emotional Blocks: I work on the practical applications for improving vision and sensory awareness, the return to a state of receptivity for your eyes, very grounded, the nuts and bolts, however, often a person's progress towards better vision and clearer eyesight is hindered because of emotional blockages, (and we all have them). If these blockages are determined to be causing a problem, they may be able to be "dealt with" in order to gain better eyesight.

One Day Courses: My One-Day Professional Course is ATMS Accredited granting therapists 5-CPE Points. I can also present a Two Day Course if a particular group request and is worth 10-CPE Points.

Carpe Diem Clinic: "Carpe Diem", is situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac within the beautiful Sydney suburb of Sylvania Waters. Carpe Diem, (pronounced car -- pay d -- m), is Latin for "Seize the Day" and was phrased by Robin Williams in the popular movie "Dead Poets Society".

Garden Retreat: Carpe Diem welcomes you to a beautiful garden retreat where you are greeted with fresh herbs. "The Herb of the Day" may be is selected from Basil, Chamomile, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Common Mint, Peppermint, Nasturtium, Rosemary, Sage and Violet.

WHOLISTIC:

Philosophy: Carpe Diem has a wholistic philosophy and provides for those people who seek a more caring, personal and individual approach to their health and treatment. In a safe and calming environment, you are given positive ways to increase your energy levels and improve your health.

Your Children may be at Risk. Did you Know: The proportion of Australian children aged 3 - 12 who have a vision problem is 25% and the proportion of these that go undetected is 67%. (Reference: John S. Croucher, Professor of Statistics, Macquarie University). For your children's sake, parents can attend a personal course or vision improvement day and put into practice the activities and skills learned at this professional course.

HERBS:

Herbs at Carpe Diem – when in season, these herbs are grown at Carpe Diem, many of which contribute to eyesight improvement.

Aloe Vera - Aloe arborescens / Basil - Ocimum basilicum / Bay Leaves - Laurus nobilis / Crabapple - Malus sylvestris / Chamomile - Chamomilla recutita / Kale – Curly - Brassica oleracea / Echinacea - Echinacea angustifolia / Eucalyptus - Eucalyptus cinerea, argyle apple / Garlic - Allium sativum / Ginger - Zingiber officinale / Ginkgo - Ginkgo Biloba / Gymea Lily - Doryanthes excelsa / Lavender - Lavandula dentate, Lavandula pinnata / Lemon Balm - Melissa officinalis / Lemongrass – Cymbopogon ambiguus / Marjoram - Origanum majorana / Mints – Common-mint, Eau-de Cologne, Moroccan, Peppermint, Spearmint / Nasturtium - Tropaeolum majus / Olive Tree - Olea europea / Oregano - Origanum vulgare / Rosemary - Rosmarinus officinalis / Sage - Salvia officinalis / Thyme - Thymus vulgaris / Wollemi - Wollemia nobilis

MEDITATION:

Meditate with Aromatherapy Eye Pads: I encourage the use of Aromatherapy Eye Pads during your private relaxation and meditation. This activity is emotionally uplifting by reducing stress, anxiety and depression. The flowering tops of the lavender plant have been used for centuries to help relieve migraines and headaches. Aromatherapy eye pads are also helpful in the treatment for insomnia by reducing puffiness around the eyes when used with cold water. I also recommend a number of teas which are helpful to our well-being.

The Ten Carpe Diem Healing Remedies

Using flowers and minerals, the Carpe Diem Healing Remedies have been made by applying the same principles of vibration, frequency and energy as in the making of Bach Remedies, Australian Bush Flower Essences, Alaskan, Deva, Findhorn, Universal Energies, Rose Essences and others.

What can you expect from these Carpe Diem Healing Remedies?

The Carpe Diem Healing Remedies were made initially as a supporting modality for my successful Eyesight Improvement Programs for short and long distance vision problems. The finding and making of my first remedy, Nuummit, was truly a small miracle as I will explain during my course. Other remedies followed which help self-healing, clear blockages, promote a positive outlook and enhance one's well-being.

What makes these Carpe Diem Healing Remedies so powerful?

The distinctive and unique difference in the making of these Carpe Diem Healing Remedies, from all other remedies and essences, is the inclusion of Miraculous Lourdes Water from France which has the potential for Miracles.

How do I use these Healing Remedies?

There are many ways to take these remedies, but, firstly shake the bottle to activate the respective energies. You will be taught an affirmation in order to access the maximum energy and the potential of these healing remedies. Use 3 drops from these examples:

1. in your glass of fresh juice

2. in your bath

3. in a spray bottle and spray-mist your living area

4. with your moisturizing cream

5. in a freshener on the back of your neck

6. with your hair rinse

7. or directly by placing 3 drops under your tongue

I went outside and did the sun thingy and tapping on the head and bingo it all came back and needless to say, I have been doing some exercise every day.

Thank You, Everyone

O.K. NOW LET'S GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR EYESIGHT

After your course or personal program, you will need to show some degree of self-motivation, self-discipline and a regular routine for your eyesight to continue their improvement. Set some time aside each day to practise your Take-Home Routine, your individually selected eye exercises, palming, switches, meridians, relaxation, lock-in memory and stress-release techniques and your personal positive affirmation. It stands to reason, the more you practise, the better you will see.

A change of diet and lifestyle may be what you need so don't forget the vitamins, minerals and herbs best for your health and therefore best for your vision.

If you need to go over anything, do what others are doing and book a consultation or repeat a day's course. You are most welcome.
