  1. Nuclei or bodies of these nerves are found in the brain stem. The nuclei of the abducens and oculomotor nerves are connected, therefore the brain is connected to the eye movements. You could ask the chicken and egg question, (are glitches down to the muscles or is the mind making the glitches 1st) yet I work in a holistic way so the whole unit is connected.

  2. Do the glitches and skips have anything to do with the ocular muscles being less agile in these places??

  3. Important Question that no one can seem to answer, I had a severe car accident 4 years ago and now suffer from severe PTSD. I? dont remember anything from the car accident that caused the trauma so how can I be cured from my PTSD if I cant talk about the experience to an EMDR therapist?

    Any feedback would be much appreciated

  5. Yes, full respect to the below comment. As time moves on, more ‘issues’ will be of a mental nature in line with our progression as a race. Therefore wheby physical solutions would have been ok for older generations, the modern society is more invloved with mental activities, therefore mental challenges will be more apparent. There may even be vitual councellors for vitual relationships soon!

  6. Walking and chatting with a friend — making sure to notice everything around you — even in an urban setting is equally wise.

  7. EMDR (the root of it) has been part of many “warrior traditions” around the world — martial arts and military training a-like.

    The best way to get this training on your own is to go hiking 2 or 3 days per week in a forrest or semi-densely wooded area.

    You do not necessarily need a forrest or wooded region it’s just “faster” at getting the EMDR.

    Star gazing at night is another way

    Hopefully given the above video it becomes understandable

    In the 70’s we were told to “walk it off”

  8. @metalmike83 I would bet you’d believe, if it would keep me from cutting off from your neck that stupid thing you call a head that’s on your shoulders, and from deficating down your esofagus. ’cause it’s the only form of closure I can understandably rely on comprehending. Nit wit!

  9. Love these guys who say ‘nonsense’ etc. Where’s the contribution there? He won’t have done any research or even begun to observe others carefully b4 making an unintelligent ‘dump’ on the rest of us trying to give something. YouTube is a place to give your flavour of life. Being aware of eye patterns is a skill worth learning. It will increase your ability to tune in with another and have an idea of what’s going on with them when you are engaged wih them. That’s if you realy want to engage!

  11. I don’t care if this is shit, EMDR worked for me. Phantom pains are also crap to non-amputees, and any one who has lived a great old life would not undertand EMDR. I wish I didn’t have my accident, and didn’thave to benefit from EMDR, but I did, and I did. Able bodied dickheads should fuck right off, its none of your fucking business.

  12. Same woman, same room, same outfit, same flowers behind her, same day, same class, different instuctor and the other instructor who had her help him chose her because she had easily veiwable eye movements which made for a good demonstration for the class learning. I completely agree, I don’t think these techniques would work for anyone who didn’t want them to. Thank you for serving by the way, it means more than most people are willing to express.

  13. Agreeed :) well put.

  14. This same woman was used in a different eye pattern video that was done by a different guy, this whole thing sounds like a scam to me. Giving people false hope of getting better by moving a pen around is just ridiculous anyway. I was one of those soldiers that came back all fucked up, and it took a long time of soul searching to get better, not any of the crazy stupid techniques these fucking quacks do. I recommend going to church or getting involved in something positive, and don’t drink :)

  15. No matter what happens during EMDR, it IS inarguably all in their minds…

    Scientifically it is simply not true, that a mental ‘blockage’ (whatever that is) shows itself as the inability in the eyemuscles to move the eye in a fluent motion. I don’t care about who came up with it, or if it has an effect or not (as you say, it seems to have an effect), but I DO care about having valid explanations and not something that sounds as if it where made up for the occasion and not scientifically sound.

  16. check out EMDR. NLP didn’t come up with it and i know people who have been treated professionally with EMDR for traumatic events I.E. soldiers after service having seen friends blown up etc. Tell them it’s all in their mind!

  17. But I guess that if someone believe it to be true (although neurologically/scientifically it is not), it will be true and somewhat helpful for them…

  18. I’m into NLP and doing a four years course in it, because I see alot of reasonable and useful techniques. I especially enjoy the techniques where I can see the connection to the neurology of the client. But come on! a glitch in the muscles movement of the eyes is not necessarily connected to any thought ‘blockage’ or neurology! :( It’s the same as moving your foot in a smooth circle. It’s hard, and THAT difficulty is definitely not connected to any neurological issues.
