PETER GRUNWALD
The Eyebody Method
New Zealand / Germany / United States
Integrating Eyes, Brain, Body and Consciousness
Peter Grunwald, author of best-selling book ‘Eyebody – the art of integrating eye, brain and body – and letting go of glasses forever’ developed a world-wide learning and teaching method simultaneously improving eyesight, body posture and transforming emotional attachments into spiritual attributes associated with visual dysfunctions and the organ of the eyes.
For the past 30 years he has explored the relationships between body posture, movement and visual dysfunction. Unique to his method is the discovery that every single area of the visual system corresponds with an associated area in the body and the brain. Specific vision malfunctions such as short and farsightedness, astigmatism, middle aged vision (presbyopia), squints and lack of binocular vision, as well as glaucoma or cataracts are linked to specific tensions and contractions in the body and have an emotional, mental and spiritual association.
The Eyebody Method unravels and allows deep insights into our visual system while applying the principles in daily activities such as reading, computing, driving and more. His introductory courses are online, and his retreats
of practices and teachings are available in 10 countries and multiple
languages. He resides in New Zealand, teaches in North and soon South
America, Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand. His writings and online courses are published in English, German, Japanese and soon in Spanish and Italian.

Natural Vision Teacher

Seeing Things As They Are: How Thoughts Affect Perception
Lizzie May has been a full-time Bates Instructor for more than 20 years, working with clients of all ages – from 3 to 94! – in London and internationally. She was drawn to Dr. Bates’ work because she hated wearing glasses and was aware of a family history of three generations of glaucoma and cataract on the maternal side. She also had had a divergent squint and at the age of six, and was unable to learn to read i.e. she could see the letters but they made no sense. She was so impressed and impassioned by the Method that after she had dispensed with lenses, she decided to embrace that profession for life!
Today she works with children with squint (strabismus) and other eye conditions and in her long diverse experience, she has found that cultural and environmental factors can also influence eyesight as much as visual habits and lifestyle.
