Cheri is a 55 year old woman who participated in the 8
week EFT Eyesight Experiment I conducted this Fall. I had
an opportunity to interview her about the details of her
results. Below is the summary.
Cheri followed the exact instructions and tapped once a
day on the suggested assignments for all 8 weeks.
What she found was that her ability to notice
improvement in one of the categories, "Brightness"
improved in the range of 50-75% (categorized as a level
"4" in the experiment, a "definite improvement.") Her
"Color Perception" improved at the level
of a "3" (25-50%) and"Color Contrast"
improved also by a "4" or somewhere between 50-75% on the
rating scale. Cheri's reported improvement in her
farsighted vision was also rated as "definite improvement"
at a "4."She noticed this particularly when
walking outdoors with her walking partner who "got an
earful" about the beautiful scenery. She is also now able
to watch television from afar. On the final questionnaire,
Cheri wrote, "It has been many years since I've been
able to see clearly the trees and their foliage or to
determine if the rattle was a squirrel or a bird. My
emotions are deeply buried and will take more work. My
eyesight is something I can truly enjoy daily as I
continue to work on my emotions."
Cheri reported slight improvements in dryness of her
eyes and eye fatigue.
Regarding the category of "Clarity--Near"
her reported improvement was a dramatic 50-75%. She had
been reading with bifocals nearly 95% of the time, but now
notices she DOES NOT NEED GLASSES to read anymore.
In general, Cheri said it is all still a puzzle for
her, how clearly she can see everything!!
The emotional issues she tapped for in the protocols
helped her speak her mind more clearly with her mother.
This was very freeing. In Cheri's words, "Dealing with
some of these gave me nasty headaches and stomach pains,
but they all cleared so far as I could tell at the time.
On the plus side, I became empowered to speak clearly on
topics of concern to my mother as they arose as opposed to
sublimating them." She has also been able to set more
boundaries now within the family and feels much more
confident about this.
The Downside of improving her
vision (a question participants were to answer on the
final questionnaire) was "If I see too clearly, I have
to deal with things as they appear..."
In a follow up email after Cheri visited her eye doctor
in December '05, she gave me the following report:
Fabulous time with my eye doctor. My "uncorrected"
vision has improved two full lines and is thus now 20/80.
HOORAY. He said it is better than Dec 2003!!!
He also found nothing OTHER than my nearsightedness and
astigmatism. (Cheri had been diagnosed with "vertical
muscle imbalance" and "mild map dot dystrophy.")
The map dot dystrophy (sp?) is when the cornea separates.
He uses the illustration of a rug on the floor that isn't
lying flat but is rather bunched up, breaking contact with
the floor. Well. He does see cases where the "rug"
smoothes out again, which mine has,but cannot
explain it.
He said that the pulling that the muscle was
doing ("vertical muscle imbalance") no longer
shows, so there is truly no other sign of
anything !! Hooray.
He asked me what exactly I did. I showed him very
briefly with a setup phrase and tapped all through while
giving a sum-up of EFT. He commended
me for my effort and urged me to continue on this path and
urged me to do so in a consistent, daily manner, and to
get "creative" with it!! He said thatemotions
play a strong part in the flow of blood to the retina, as
well as to different parts of the brain, so increased
blood flow to both the retina and the brain would be
reflected in the sharpened clarity. Though
he warned me not to throw away my glasses just yet, he
also encouraged me to continue activities without them
when I didn't require them.
Thank you once again for not only the excellent experiment
from which I personally benefited but also for the superb
and timely newsletters.
With true appreciation for your talents and generosity,
Cheri
Two months later, Cheri writes "my vision shifts
with my emotion but for the most part holds
nicely. My communication skills within my family
continue to improve.Clarity from afar continues to
hold strong..."
