HOW ARE NEUVIEW GLASSES USED?


NeuView Glasses are safe and simple to use and are worn as are any pair of glasses.  While they were originally developed for use within psychotherapy, (and in that context require a protocol of usage), they can readily be used by anyone and require little in the way of instruction.
 


While sitting in a quiet place simply put the glasses on and think of a situation or experience that is distressing to you.  Rate your level of distress on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 indicating no distress and 10 indicating the most distress.  Now raise one of the windows and wait 30 to 60 seconds or so.  Note your current level of distress.  Now close that window and open the other window, again wait 30 to 60 seconds or so and note the level at this point.  Most people will experience one of the sides to be more relaxing or calming  -  for some, the problem  may even fade altogether.

At this point you may be asking yourself:  What happened?  The answer is that the glasses have enabled you to tap into helpful information that, once brought to your awareness, could ease your distress.

Our experience, over the past three years, is that upwards of 90% of those who have used the glasses have experienced a significant difference from one side to the other.  Of this group, more than two-thirds have experienced a strong difference.

While stress reduction may well be one of the most common uses for the glasses there are many more.  Getting in touch with information, our information, about ourselves can provide an important and empowering breakthrough in our lives.

HOW DO NEUVIEW GLASSES LOWER STRESS? - Part I

Before we explain how NeuView Sunglasses work to lower your stress, let’s take a moment to look at what we call stress.

Stress is your body’s physical and psychological response to anything you perceive as overwhelming. We can be overwhelmed by our successes as well as our failures – a job promotion, the birth of a child, taking a vacation – all of these can be experienced as stressful events.

Anything that asks that we change, results in some level of stress. And the degree of stress we experience is determined by the resources we have on hand to deal with this experience of change.

According to The American Institute of Stress:


“Contemporary stress tends to be more pervasive, persistent and insidious because it stems primarily from psychological than physical threats. It is associated with ingrained and immediate reactions over which we have no control that were originally designed to be beneficial.”

These ingrained and immediate reactions refer to our bodies fight or flight response. When we are stressed our bodies respond by setting in motion a series of chemical releases and reactions. Our heart rate and blood pressure increase to send a greater flow of blood to the brain thereby improving our decision making. At the same time, our blood sugar level rises to give us a boost in energy. And our circulatory system re-routs blood away from our gut and directs it to our arm and leg muscles in order to aid us with the fight or flight.

This wonderful, built-in, life saving response system seems to have worked better in the past, perhaps as recently as a hundred years ago, when the threats to our well-being were primarily physical rather than psychological, and were experienced as intermittent rather than ongoing.

In the past, our bodies responded to the threat and once that threat had been resolved another series of chemical releases and reactions would occur, this time to help restore us to a state of internal calmness known as homeostasis.

However, in today’s world we are continually bombarded with news and information, much of which psychologically overwhelms us and keeps our bodies “on alert”. Under this constant onslaught, with our bodies continually chemically rallying to protect us, the process begins to fail. Our bodies having remained too long in a hypervigilant state begin to lose the ability to discriminate between “real threats”and “perceived threats”. In this state, every threat great or small is responded to with a total mobilization. Over time these same biochemical responses that once were our protection now become our undoing. Eventually our immune system is so compromised that it no longer can protect us from further stress and illness.

How NeuView Sunglasses Work To Lower Your Stress - Part II

As we’ve said, not everything we perceive to be threatening is a “real threat”. And, if we can know the difference between a “real threat” and a “perceived threat”, then we can dramatically reduce our stress.

  • NeuView Sunglasses help you to sort out the “real” from the “perceived” threats of everyday life by putting you back in touch with your inner resources that have been compromised by the experience of stress.
  • Many of us have one side of our brain that is predominant and determines how we see and experience the world. The more dominant this side is, the more it skews our perceptions and determines our actions. And, while we are always using both sides of the brain, constantly shifting back and forth in a great neuronal symphony, sometimes we get stuck on one side, unable to connect with that part of the brain that could be most helpful.
  • Stress is the culprit. It compromises our ability to fluidly access the resources we possess. The greater the stress, the more restricted we become in our responses. The more restricted we become, the more stress we have.
  • This is where the glasses come in. With NeuView Sunglasses you can easily and safely create the healthful balance between the right and left sides of your brain. And, by doing so, bring all of your resources to bear to deal with the stress in your life.
  • NeuView Sunglasses are a specially designed pair of “lateralized sunglasses” with wraparound lenses that have side sections that can be raised to let in more light on one side or the other. When we allow more light in from the side – it acts to stimulate that side of the brain opposite the light source. For example, when the right side window is raised, the left-brain is stimulated and vice versa.

So, why do we want to stimulate one side or the other of our brain?

Because …..

We often can experience the very same situation very differently from one side of our brain to the other. Take for instance:

  • The anxious test-taker who had studied long and hard and yet couldn’t see how he would pass. He knew instantly that he’d be fine as he accessed that awareness in his left-brain.
  • The businessman who was angry and frustrated with his partner’s “unreasonable demands” could see them as legitimate concerns once he was able to access that view held in the other part of his brain.
  • The mother-to-be, worried that she wouldn’t be up to being the kind of parent she wanted to be, relaxed and was able to feel a well deserved sense of confidence about herself when she was able to make the connection with that part of herself.
All of these people, while in a stressed state, were locked into a negative view of their situation which only increased their feelings of stress. However, the simple act of using the glasses to stimulate activity in another part of their brain enabled them to connect with important and helpful information and a more objective picture of themselves.
