What if your eyes tell a story beyond diopters and diagnoses?
In this special video series, Peter Grunwald – founder of the Eyebody Method – explores the common eyesight and visual symptoms such as myopia, cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eyes. Each episode focuses on one of these challenges and examines it from two perspectives:
1. The Conventional View:
What are the medical definitions and typical treatments – and where do they reach their limits?
2. The Eyebody Perspective:
What is revealed on the energetic, mental, and emotional level? What inner patterns are linked to each dysfunction – and how can we restore better coordination between the eyes, brain, and body?
With great depth, sensitivity, and decades of experience, Peter explains how each symptom develops – and how it may begin to shift or dissolve. This series not only offers knowledge, but also hope: Because change is possible. No matter what your ophthalmological diagnosis may be – this series might offer you a fresh perspective that opens the door to greater clarity, presence, and joy in life.
1. Cataract
When light becomes clouded – and deeper clarity is needed
Cataracts are among the most common diagnoses in older age – but what does it really mean when the lens of the eye becomes clouded? Peter Grunwald invites you on a journey behind the physical manifestation: What is the deeper message of the cataract? What inner images and emotional patterns might be connected to it? And how can we – beyond medical interventions – bring more light into our vision again?
2. Myopia (Short-sightedness)
Why your eyes retract and how you can widen them again?
Myopia affects millions of people today – and is often seen as a purely mechanical problem. But what if myopia is also an expression of inner patterns? In this episode, Peter Grunwald sheds light on the deeper causes of myopia from an Eyebody perspective: Why do the eyes ‘pull inwards’ energetically? What role does mental tension play and how can we develop more vision again, in our eyesight and in life?
3. Presbyopia
When the gaze calls inwards – and proximity suddenly disappears
Many people experience increasing difficulty focussing on things close up around midlife, so-called presbyopia. In this episode, we explore with Peter Grunwald what is really behind this phenomenon. Is it really an inevitable ageing process or a sign that it’s time to look inwards and renew our relationship with our immediate surroundings?
4. Glaucoma
When the pressure rises and the connection to the inner vision is lost
Glaucoma is often explained by increased intraocular pressure, but what is the energy behind it when vision is ‘disconnected’ from within? In this episode, Peter Grunwald talks about the subtle, often unnoticed connections between inner pressure, performance demands and the loss of coordination between the eye, brain and body. What role do fear, control and tension play and how can we get back into the natural flow?
5. Strabismus (Squint or Lazy Eye)
When the eyes do not look together – what is trying to show itself?
Strabismus is more than a visual ‚misalignment’. It is often an expression of inner division or unresolved conflicts. In this episode, Peter Grunwald sheds light on the deeper meaning of strabismus: Why do the eyes look in different directions? What does this mean for our perception of the world and of ourselves? And how can we restore harmony between the left and right sides, between inside and outside?
6. Macular degeneration
When the centre of vision goes out – what remains visible?
The macula – the central point of sharpest vision – symbolises our ability to see what is important. What happens when this very centre degenerates? In this episode, Peter Grunwald explores the question of why people often lose their connection to their inner centre, especially in the second half of life -– and how Eyebody can help to strengthen this connection again and develop new confidence in your own vision.
7. Astigmatism
When the image appears distorted – and clarity becomes an inner decision
With astigmatism, the light does not come together in one point and the image appears distorted or blurred. But what if this distortion is also an indication of an inner imbalance? In this episode, Peter Grunwald explains how energetic imbalances and unbalanced perspectives are reflected in your vision and how clarity can be restored through conscious presence and subtle inner alignment.
8. Hypometropia (Farsightedness at an early age)
When the near becomes blurred – and the present moves out of focus
People with hypometropia see well into the distance, but have difficulty seeing things close up. What does this mean symbolically? In this episode, Peter Grunwald invites us to understand farsightedness as a message from the body: Is it perhaps time to turn our attention back to the here and now – to what is right in front of us? And how can near vision become more relaxed and effortless again?
9. Floaters (Mouches Volants)
When shadows dance in the field of vision – what is trying to emerge from the subconscious?
‘Mouches volantes’ – small moving dots or threads in the field of vision – are widespread but little understood. In this episode, Peter Grunwald sheds new light on these seemingly harmless phenomena: What unconscious content or inner images want to be seen? What does it mean when our vision no longer feels ‘clear’ – and how can we learn to improve our vision?
10. Eye operations (e.g. LASIK, lens implants, after accidents)
When the eye is operated on – what remains of the inner vision?
Whether LASIK, artificial lenses or surgery after injuries: Eye operations change the external structures, but what happens in the subtle system? In this episode, Peter Grunwald talks about the energetic traces of operations, possible effects on the connection between the eye and brain and how you can strengthen and revitalise your inner vision even after an operation.
11. Dry eyes
When vision becomes dry – and the flow of perception stops
Dry eyes are unpleasant, but they often tell a deeper story. In this episode, Peter Grunwald invites us to see dryness not just as a physical problem, but as a sign of an interrupted energy flow, an overload or an emotional drought. How can we reconnect with the water of life, the flow of tears, the moist glimmer of living presence?
