It was more a side effect, which when i became aware of it i started investigating and pursuing it. Definitely worth the time and effort. Effort is a little misleading, since the whole goal of yoga is relaxation. I have to say if interested try and find someone that's been given the ok to teach by sri. k. pattabhi jois. He only gives the ok when they've gotten control over all their muscles, it's a delight to watch them in action. THere is extreme lightness and grace to their movements. Iyengar also focus on becoming aware of restrictions and that might be a good route to follow but i have not looked into it.
For those interested only in healing their eyes, look up William H. Bates an the bates method. Freely available on the internet. Not totally correct, but the relaxation practices will help. Unfortunately, this was written in a time when population was largely structurally aligned, before it became fashionable to be out of alignment. If a protruding head keeps on adding tension to the delicate muscles of the face and eye then you'll have little luck until you learn to actually stand properly.
Actually, you're wrong there.If you do buy all the ingredients in the long run it'll be cheaper.
The biggest bonus of course, is that your's will actually taste like a hamburger! And you wont have to depend on chemical additives for taste, your's can actually taste good because of fresh organic ingredients.
Believe me, anybody who has put any amount of effort into making a real hamburger won't want to touch a mcdonalds hamburger with a ten foot pole.
Sure it's fixable. Maybe just not with surgery.
I never used to use my right eye. Playing sports was not easy!
Now i get to marvel at the world in 3d, i still can't believe this is the way most people see all the time, i had no clue what i was missing.
Anyways, long story short, yoga is the answer. Yoga is the instruction manual for what the body is capable of, which is way more than western medicine thinks. Once i started to learn how my eyes work, everything just started to come together. Can't wait to try baseball again and actually be able to tell where in 3d space the ball is BEFORE it hits me in the head:)
ah, i see there's a time period for authenticity for the books the church decides not to include, but not for the ones that they did include?
Everything that says you're a worthless piece of shit gets put in, and everything that shows you the way to the kingdom of god inside of you gets thrown out?
Go read them, study them. Even if you aren't christian, knowing yourself should be your first goal in life.
Yes but how many biblical scholars have attained christhood/enlightenment? The church seems to be more like the blind leading the blind. You would think that if the church had the correct interpretation of Jesus' words that there would be a hell of a lot more enlightened people around. But face it, the bible in it's current state is a means to propagate the church and not to teach the message that Jesus had. That we are ALL god, and all of us are capable of all the deeds that jesus did. It's funny that it's still included in the few gospels that the church decided to include in the bible, but everybody comes away with the church message of being a sinner and Jesus something unattainable.
Sophia anyone?
HAha,ok, so you are a brainwashed american. That's too funny. hahaha, as proven a threat as saddam??? ahhahaa lol rofl!!!
You're an insignificant collection of cells on a tiny world in a huge universe and yet you think you're the most important thing ever.
Once you look past your toes, maybe you'll realize there's a whole world out there, populated by other-selves.
sheesh, when will people realize quantum mechanic theory is NOT correct. If it was we'd have a unified theory.
So you're saying it can't be correct because it goes against an incorrect theory(although good enough to produce some predictable results)?
Remember, science does NOT deal with truth, it deals with approximations.
incorrect. It's not possible with the current physics model of the universe, which we know is incorrect. It may be possible with our level of technologdy, we just don't know how.
Your inferences are faulty. I have a degree in psychology, i know what psychosomatic is, what relevance does that have to what i have stated? Medicine considers scoliosis a structural defect of the spine. Which, unfortunately for all the people who've undergone surgery, really has nothing to do with the spine, but with the muscles and ligaments. Quite treatable through this new medical breathrough MTR, or just call it accupressure. However, the most common recommendation for joint problems is immobility, this is only starting to change recently.
I don't know if you notice, but lots of 'new' scientific/medical discoveries aren't released to the public right away. Most of them are corrections to previous scientific discoveries as well! Did you know that recent medical studies show that the eye can deform, and that millions of people don't have to be wearing glasses? Why doesn't that get out to the public? It would destroy a billion dollar industry. It was a ridiculous claim they had in the beginning anyways. The eye can't change shape, myopia is due to a structural defect, that cannot be changed. Oh, btw, your eyesight can get worse! If the eye can change shape it can change shape, period. I'm happy i don't have to buy glasses anymore, i'm happy that i now have 3d vision, all i did was yoga and stop wearing glasses.:) I'm sure EVERYBODY that wears glasses has had at least one experience where they've had a taste of normal vision even for a split second when they didn't have their glasses on. I know i did. At first i thought it must have been tears in my eyes forming a film in just the right way to help focus the light properly. Then it kept happening, over and over again the more relaxed i became from yoga.
I did not mean scientificly proven, if you haven't guessed, that was my whole point! Believe me, if you do yoga for a year, everyday, you won't need a doctor to tell you it's benefits. Feel free to try it or not. That's what free will is all about.
I don't know if you noticed, but not once did i mention religion, so i have no idea why you're bringing it into the discussion. I'll stick by what i said. Science is young. The educated person would know that. We're talking about rigourous testing here, with proper methodology. There are thousands of beliefs in science with erroneous proofs. It's only in the 20th century that science became less politics and more science.
Did you learn about gravity in school? Heard of newton's law? Do they tell school children that it's incorrect but we really have no idea how gravity works and that's why we haven't moved past newton? Who cares though, it gives us results so what's the point of moving forward. And there you see the crux of the problem with science. Once we have a method to control/predict our environment within a certain margin of error we move onto other things. Science doesn't find truth, it finds reasonable approximations, because that's all the money cares about.
Don't get me wrong, there's pure science going on, but not much of it. How the hell could we not be trying to find out how gravity really works when it's part of our everyday existence?
About prometheus, i've never met him so i can't say. Science never met him either.
Don't be a slave to the religion of science. If YOU knew anything about science, you would know that we don't know very much at all about the world around us and why it works the way it does.
Most religions/belief systems posit a creator. In pantheistic religions the gods are seen as different aspects of the creator. I have considered them. Do i believe? Not quite. I'm a skeptic at heart, no matter how many spiritual experiences i have had, i still hold back till there is tangible proof.
Atheism is just silly, the logical choice is agnosticism.
It is illogical to believe that something doesn't exist because there is no proof. It would be logical to believe that something didn't exist if there was proof it didn't exist. How else shall i say it?
that could possible make you miss the mark.
Everything in the bible if followed will let you live a quite healthy life. But just because pigs were a cesspool of disease in the past doesn't mean that it is the case today.
then again, who follows those rules anyways? I don't see people killing homosexuals all the time. Though some idiots keep trying.
HOw naive are you? Why cure somebody when you can sell them medication for the rest of their life???
A corporation exists to make money for it's shareholders. I hope you don't believe drug companies exist for the good of the people. If they did, they wouldn't charge americans more than they do canadians.

hemophilia. Why waste resources on someone who will easily die if they start bleeding.
Complete but lacking other gospels? how can that be complete? Thomas? Mary? Story of sophia? Philip? etc...

wow, you certainly sound piqued.
um, they shot at planes that were flying where they weren't supposed to be. And those planes were dropping bombs.
and americans think that fast food, pesticides and preservatives are good, so we can't trust anything they say!
Nobody goes to heaven. It doesn't say that anywhere in the bible, that's something parents tell their kids.
HAha,ok, so you are a brainwashed american. That's too funny. hahaha, as proven a threat as saddam??? ahhahaa lol rofl!!!

Wow, you're american aren't you?
Yes, but then how will american politicians make any money?
Hey, that's funny. Using someone elses post from Oct. 06 over here. Couldn't think of something original?
sheesh, when will people realize quantum mechanic theory is NOT correct. If it was we'd have a unified theory.

incorrect. It's not possible with the current physics model of the universe, which we know is incorrect. It may be possible with our level of technologdy, we just don't know how.
Maybe in western history. Western civ isn't the be all and end all of everything you know?
Only those who have no compassion for others such as those who think they deserve to be put to death.

Your choice, but an illogical one. Open to debate if there is no proof either way.
