******************
Research and Development
1. With my strong background in Human Movement Science, Exercise
Physiology and Programming Skills, I have incorporated (a) rhythmical
(with and without music), (b) proprioceptor movements (i.e. bending and
straightening at a joint); (c) balance activities; (c) coordination
movements; and (d) much more, into the eyesight program. These
activities and movements 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, the resulting accumulative eyesight memory is greatly
accelerated and enhanced. As a basis to many of the activities and
movements, my clients are asked to concentrate on my eyesight
improvement theme of "Breathe / Blink / Relax / Focus" which is highly
successful.
2. I have also 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. 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.
We learn what is not working, we must now re-learn how to see. I take a
client back to (a) a time of their best eyesight or (b) 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 try.
3. Using the latest research, I have developed a series of 4 programs
and 48 activities designed specifically to instruct the Chinese
Vision Leaders and Ophthalmologists who have indicated their
interest in my Eyesight Improvement Plan. I have names this program "The
Master Hing - Eyesight Improvement Plan".
Program 1
is excellent and called "The Advanced Eyesight Improvement Program" and
attempts to improve an estimated 75%-80% of the selected group.
Program 2
is "The Advanced Acupoint Tapping Program" and attempts to improve a
further estimated 10%-15%.
Program 2 is applied
when, after completing Program 1, a client shows an initial eyesight
improvement but the improvement does not continue.
Program 3
is "The Meridian Blockage-Clearance Program" and attempts to improve a
further estimated 7%.
Program 3 is applied
when, after completing Programs 1 & 2, a client shows little or no
change due to a blockage in the meridian system generally caused by
anxiety and stress.
Program 4
is "The Reverse Chi Energy Flow Program" and attempts to improve a
further estimated 3%.
Program 4 is applied
when a client shows no change and displays self-defeating & negative
behaviour, a sign of a reversal in Chi Energy Flow.

Teas
are available.
What to Wear and Bring
Wear
comfortable clothes and shoes and perhaps a sun-hat. Bring a water
bottle, your lunch and notebook.
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 AND TWO DAY COURSES
My
One-Day and Two-Day Professional Courses are ATMS Accredited granting
therapists 10-CPE and 20-CPE Points respectively.
Carpe Diem Clinic
Carpe Diem Clinic
My 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.
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.
*****************
Poor Eyesight
Corrected
breathe / blink /
relax / focus
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.
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
successful formula of
"breathe / blink / relax / focus"
with my clients in a Personal Eyesight
Improvement Course.
******************
The Challenge is
Clearer Eyesight
MY EYESIGHT
IS PRECIOUS
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 a vision improvement day and put into
practice the activities and skills learned at this professional course.
How It Came About
1. After a rewarding career as a Health
and Physical Education Teacher, I changed my career pathway and
re-trained as a Naturopath. Prior to this, my specialty was with Exercise
Physiology and Sports Medicine, "Fitness Testing of Elite
Athletes". Please visit: http://www.naturaltherapist.com.au/fitnesstesting.htm
2. I had an ambition to improve our
quality of life. I chose Vision Improvement or perhaps Vision Improvement
chose me.
3. I would like to recognise the works
of vision pioneers William Bates, Janet Goodrich, Jacob Liberman, Peter
Mansfield and Jonathon Barnes.

*****************
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.
My Eyes are my Most
Precious Asset
*****************
Eye
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).
Iridology is
available to check your level of health.

TESTIMONIALS
1. "Hi Geoff, I thought I would
drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the day. I got so much
out of it and loved the way in which you presented the day and the
materials ..............". Thank you Kerrie, much appreciated
2. "Hi Geoff, thank you for your
comprehensive manual. It will be very useful. I like the way you have
drawn from many different disciplines. I suspect each one has grown from
proven techniques. The combination therefore, should address all causes of
eyesight diminution. The depictions of the acupoints are especially
useful. I have been doing the exercises 3-5 mornings a week and palming
10-30 minutes a day. My previously deteriorating eyesight has generally
stabilised and my short sight is improving." Thank you Steve Rose of
Engadine
3. "Thanks, Geoff, I enjoyed the
course and went through my notes yesterday and was surprised at how much
you got into eight hours!" Thanks Melanie E
4. "Unbelievable improvement -
Thank you." Thank you, Robyn, I promised you a surprising

Geoff, a
very useful day's course. The exercises were well thought out to induce a
therapeutic feelings of peace and tranquillity. The hands over eyes
colour vision skills were really stimulating. The switches and drills
were simple and easy to follow, to learn and to remember. They will help
us a lot as we practise throughout the year. Delicious cake, cheese and
fruit were much appreciated. David and Ann Wynne-Jones (England). Thank
you David and Ann, my pleasure.
5. "Hi Geoff and Cheryl, thanks for
the info on the Carpe Diem Remedies as I am finding them very useful.
Interestingly, a few days after the course, I had been a bit slack in not
continuing the daily exercises and went to work and couldn't see well
enough to do my job. 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. I must say I enjoyed the course and all
that transpired on the day. Thanks a lot and many blessings to you and
your family." Les Flint from Moree.

Thank You
O.K. NOW LET'S GET SERIOUS
ABOUT YOUR EYESIGHT
After the course, 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, wake-up acupoints, your "Lock-In"
activities, relaxation 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.
