Transitions and Transformation by Susan Popiel

Transitions. All of us experience them, both big and small, expected and unexpected ones. Attending a new school, changing jobs or retiring, relocating to a new community, relationship changes, the loss of a family member, friend or pet and health challenges are examples of life events that can lead to major changes. These changes can become stressful or even overwhelming at times, yet transitions can also be the key to transformation and new growth. )PX DBO XF TVQQPSU PVSTFMWFT BOE FODPVSBHF PUIFST UIBU BSF VOEFSHPJOH MJGF USBOTJUJPOT UPXBSE B QPTJUJWF USBOTGPSNBUJPO )FSF BSF TPNF JEFBT t 3FDPHOJ[F BOE BDLOPXMFEHF GFFMJOHT UIBU BSF VOJRVF GPS FBDI QFSTPO t +PVSOBM BOE SFGMFDU PO UIF TJUVBUJPO UP FGGFDUJWFMZ iTPSU PVUw BO FYQFSJFODF BOE BDDFTT JOOFS XJTEPN UP EFUFSNJOF GVUVSF OFFET PS QMBOOJOH t 4UBZ IZESBUFE CZ ESJOLJOH HPPE RVBMJUZ XBUFS PS OPO DBGGFJOBUFE CFWFSBHFT t &BU OVUSJUJPVT XFMM CBMBODFE NFBMT t $POOFDU TQJSJUVBMMZ JO B XBZ UIBU JT NFBOJOHGVM QSBZFS NFEJUBUJPO PS TFSWJDFT t 4IBSF XJUI B USVTUFE GSJFOE PS GBNJMZ NFNCFS t 4QFOE UJNF PVUTJEF XBML PS QBSUJDJQBUF JO FYFSDJTF UIBU JT FOKPZBCMF t (FU BEFRVBUF TMFFQ t 6TF SFMBYBUJPO UFDIOJRVFT BSPNB UIFSBQZ EFFQ CSFBUIJOH FYFSDJTFT HVJEFE SFMBYBUJPO FYFSDJTFT SFDPSEJOHT PS XBSN CBUIT t "MMPX UJNF GPS TPMJUVEF t -JTUFO UP TPPUIJOH NVTJD 5IFTF TFMG DBSF TVHHFTUJPOT IFMQ QSPWJEF TUBCJMJUZ JO OBWJHBUJOH UIF iVQT BOE EPXOTw PG MJGF USBOTJUJPOT UIBU XF FODPVOUFS 5IFZ XJMM BMTP TFU VQ B XPOEFSGVM GPVOEBUJPO GPS HSFBUFS PWFSBMM IFBMUI BOE XFMMOFTT *G GVSUIFS TVQQPSU JT EFTJSFE FYDFMMFOU SFTPVSDFT BSF BWBJMBCMF UISPVHI MPDBM UIFSBQJTUT DPVOTFMPST NFEJDBM BOE IPMJTUJD QSBDUJUJPOFST Susan Popiel, Popiel Holistic Therapy, offers Acupressure, Craniosacral Therapy and Zero Balancing.

reverse visual loss. He regularly uses the Myers’ cocktail, an intravenous therapy with a high concentration of B-complex and C vitamins, taurine (an amino sulfonic acid), trace minerals and zinc. “Regardless of your eye condition, regular eye exercises can increase eye muscle flexibility and support circulation for better delivery of oxygen, essential nutrients and the flow of energy to the eyes,” says Grossman. He notes that “Aerobic Exercise Protects Retinal Function and Structure from Light-Induced Retinal Degeneration,” a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2014, was the first of its kind to link physical exercise with improved retinal health and prevention of common eye diseases. While Kondrot emphasizes that vitamins A, C, D and E are essential to eye health, particularly in preventing macular degeneration, he cautions that taking a supplement is no substitute

for expanding the diet to include foods such as kale, spinach, parsley, collard greens, cooked broccoli, green peas, pumpkin and Brussels sprouts. All include lutein and zeaxanthin, two types of important carotenoids contained within the retina and found in the leaves of most green plants. Digestive enzymes, probiotics and the amino acid betaine are also necessary to facilitate better absorption of nutrients. Dr. Connie Casebolt, board certified in family medicine and founder of GFM Wellness, in Greenville, South Carolina, practices with a whole body-mind perspective and incorporates supplements in patient disease prevention and wellness plans. “As the eye is bathed in the same chemicals and nutrients as the rest of the body, eye conditions can be affected by problems affecting the rest of the body,” she says. “Low adrenals can contribute to macular degeneration.

Additionally, disruption of the energy flowing through acupuncture meridians related to teeth affected by root canals can also affect the eyes. “ She likes the book Whole Body Dentistry, by Mark Breiner, a doctor of dental surgery, because it includes numerous case histories of systemic illnesses, including eye disorders, that improve with better oral health. “Trying to sustain good health and avoiding toxins such as tobacco and excess sugar can definitely help in maintaining good vision,” explains Casebolt. Sensitive, complex and composed of more than 2 million working parts, the eyes are their own phenomenon. Annual eye exams are important at every age to help us do what’s needed to maintain our precious gift of sight. Linda Sechrist is a senior staff writer for Natural Awakenings.
