Vision Exercises in the Portuguese

The new CD “ Movimento é Vida” (Movement is Life) is ready and being used with great success by all those who want to improve their vision. For about one hour it is now possible to follow, in Portuguese, the basic vision exercises as sunning, swinging, shifting, patching and palming. A very helpful instrument for those who want to train the eyes and can’t get used to a good routine.

If you have vision dysfunctions such as Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism, Presbyopia, Dry Eyes, Photophobia, or vision problems such as, amongst others, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, it is always important to practise and keep your eyes healthy and relaxed.

Thousands of people discover Self-Healing in Brazil
 

During the month of June, Meir Schneider was in the main cities of São Paulo, São Carlos,
Rio Claro and Rio de Janeiro, covering and intensive programme of activities: lectures in fully
packed conference rooms, workshops on some of the main aspects of self-healing: vision improvement,
central nervous system, LER/DORT problems and Building a strong Column, as well as a fully booked
schedule of private sessions. And the launching of his latest book in Portuguese, in four different
bookstores with lectures and autographs given to each reader was a complete success!

It is worthwhile noting the main points Meir Schneider introduced in all these events:

  • The main concepts presented by Meir Schneider can sometimes conflict with medical doctors opinions and he is aware of it, he points it clearly to the public and confirms that his Method, when applied correctly, with motivation and perseverance, really works and with great results!
  • When there is trust and a full and active participation of the patient with his therapist, and when both work together in partnership looking for the best ways to relief pain, gain more mobility, control better a pathology, at every moment of the work there is an exchange and sharing of experiences which result in transformation. And this is how the Method builds itself and grows.
  • We must assume full responsibility of taking care of our own bodies and be self-motivated to improve on ourselves all the time. This work will unblock natural powers we all have that our body and mind can be self-healed.

It is important to be aware of the expansion of Meir Schneider’s activities and Self-Healing in Brazil: frequent events on self-healing are happening all over Brazil, the Self-Healing courses are given in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, books and other support materials are available in Portuguese and about a hundred therapists already graduated and in final stages of graduation are fully active and committed to the newly set Brazilian Association for Self-Healing. NAIS, the new center for self-healing support for those who cannot afford regular treatments, has also started its activities in São Paulo. www.self-healing.com.br
