  • Hi

    The content is dense, too concentrated and mainly people speaking fast and sometimes with complex accents , the content of it can be analysed in calm is amazing but to listen as long as it goes is too much, too mental!

  • Hi

    In the Last episode Amelia jurado speaks with a Spanish accent but with so much flow and security that it doesn’t bother me, funny that other non natives that speak “better”, more words and better pronunciation they speak with more insecurity and doubt about their own English…. I was wondering if people also strain speaking a second language unless they reach a native or secure point in that language or feel loved relaxed….

    I’m amazed by amelia’s security and relaxation.

  • Great job to keep this information up.

    Thank you for sharing this information. It is shame that eye doctors are not taught this and even worse, they badmouth about it without understanding it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

081: March 1926 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Maurizio Cagnoli
Q: When one uses electric light in place of sunlight, how strong a light is it proper to use?
A 1000-watt electric light can be used with benefit, and sitting five feet away helps avoid heat discomfort; longer light sessions are said to be more beneficial.
080: February 1926 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Gloria Ginn
Q: What would you suggest for someone who finds it difficult to find time enough to gain perfect relaxation?
Practice relaxation all day long by noticing how stationary objects move in the opposite direction to your movements.
079: January 1926 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Yannic Schwerdtfeger
Q: I can reach with no trouble, but cannot distinguish things at a distance, especially the features of people. What would you suggest?
You are nearsighted. The imagination cure is the quickest and most satisfactory cure of myopia.
077: November 1925 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Nalini Ramji
Q: Why is it that many people feel the need of glasses for near work when they reach middle age?
When trying to read, they strain, which makes the sight imperfect; this may occur before the age of 40 or after 60.
072: June 1925 with Nathan Oxenfeld and June Milich
Q: When I look at an object and blink, it appears to jump with each blink. Would this be considered the short swing?
Yes, you unconsciously look from one side to the other of the object when blinking.
