Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hi: This brings up another question for me; I have heard of eye movement therapy, but I am not sure what it is about or why it is supposed to work. I understand it is somehow loosely affiliated with the other forms of " clue " therapy like body language, NLP and muscle testing. Anybody know more about it, experienced a session or practice this therapy?

Some proponents (as I recall) even claimed to reduce dyslexia symptoms. Eye tissue is an extrusion of the cerebrum and therefore sensitive to forebrain activity-- some types of reactions are reversed--and since eye movements are sensitive to certain thought and action, observation and then altering exercises can be done in this manner. I remember the concept was a popular workshop topic in the early 1990s and then kinda died out. Seems to me it might work well in conjunction with biofeedback--but as always the question is: would it work any better than the more straight forward types of conditioning.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hi Caroline and All, I had a couple of sessions of Rapid Eye Therapy while I was doing my certification for Healing Touch a few years ago. The premise of the therapy, as it was explained to me, is that our brains are like computers and we access it by certain eye movements. For instance, often times when we're trying to remember a fact we usually look up, when we remember an emotion we (at least _I_ ) look down and to the left. Through a process of blinking and eye movements, one can repattern old thought processes. Please bear in mind that this is a VERY simplified version of what was explained to me. All in all, I found it to be an effective therapy for someone who has patterns that they are ready to release, but just can't get over the habit that they've built up.
