ABSH has a new site and you can know more about the activities of this association and its members, the training courses and workshops. Includes a complete list of  trained instructors and special vision educators and therapists. Wilson Garves is the president and members of ABSH include  interested clients, students in the health areas, graduated or in graduation practitioners trained through Meir Schneider Self-Healing formation. www.absh.org.br   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 Brazilian Association for Self-Healing. NAIS, the center for self-healing support for those who cannot afford regular treatments,is also fully active  in São Paulo. nais.sh@gmail.com

It is worthwhile noting the main points Meir Schneider introduces in all his 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.

Natural vision improvement for children is presently the main concern of holistic vision therapists and Italy suggested the theme How to see with the eyes of a child for the recent IX Conference 2010, with a very successful exchange of experiences and presentations of Fiorella Licata, Morena Bernardi and Daniela Givati. “These conferences are really very important and useful, thanks to the quality of contents and presentations, but as well for the new approaches, ideas and tendencies that should be useful for all those who
work in this field of vision therapies, pscicologists, posturologists and even ophthalmologists. We would have appreciated to have them all at the Conference”, mentioned Maurizio Cagnoli, president of AIEV and organizer of this Torino event. More details www.aiev.it .
