Peripheral vision
"it has generally been assumed that signals from the fovea determine the effects of vision on refractive development. However, experiments in laboratory animals demonstrate that ocular growth and emmetropization are mediated by local retinal mechanisms and that foveal vision is not essential for many vision-dependent aspects of refractive development. However, the peripheral retina, in isolation, can effectively regulate emmetropization and mediate many of the effects of vision on the eye's refractive status. Moreover, when there are conflicting visual signals between the fovea and the periphery, peripheral vision can dominate refractive development."

I was observing how I see with my eyes. I noticed that also my vision seem not know how "to open" to welcome the whole visual field. It's about awareness, it doesn't matter if the eyes are closed.
As the sight opened more, neck and shoulders followed. The dorsal-ventral wave.
And my mild myopia in the right eye is almost gone.

Slow as a snail
As I started sitting I had to deal with pressing demands of my body: neck and shoulder were the first.
It was like trying to understand why your baby is crying and I simply do what I do in these cases: let he do whatever he wants to do and paying attention. It seems my body do not like the "right-balanced-symmetric" posture at all: it feel like it would be better if the head had turned a bit to the right, and then an other little bit, and then if it bent a little to the side, and so on...
Very slowly, slowly as a snail.
Then the thing took off, always very slow, but the movements were increasingly large and the stretching sometimes rather painful. There were a symmetry in the movements, and a kind of plan: one part of the body following the other, as if someone had created a specific program of exercises for me.
I still did not know what I was doing, and moreover, when I was getting tired of that slowness that required so much attention, and thought I can complete the movement independently with a little more speed, the movement went "wrong" and I was pushed to start again.
This went on for two weeks: eventually my neck, shoulders and my whole body felt "free" for the first time.
How can I know how to do that without knowing what I was doing? I was sometimes scared about what felt like "to be possessed" but I were already at a point were really no rational fear was left in my mind, so I went on with that without trying to control it.
Who knows what it is needed to do if not my "not conscious self" that had done so many things during my life I have no idea how to do consciously? At the same time it felt like he cannot do that by itself: I had to pay attention, and I had "to follow" and do my part. Which is the part in charge? which one is teaching the other? which one is giving directions? which one is following? where the "allowing" ends and the "doing" starts?
Does that matters?
