The mystery of Luna's eyes: Seeking positivity in a confusing situation
A few days ago a doctor said some words which seem to have made it more difficult to find the positive feeling we had before. Sometimes it is better to know nothing at all than all the potential 'bad' things it could be!
Late last year we discovered one of Luna's pupils is always more dilated than the other.
Upon reviewing the family photos we concluded she was born this way.
However, in recent months we have noticed how the affected eye no longer moves in sync with the other one and when she looks right there is a visible difference between the two eyes, noticeable in the white part.
Looking through the family photos I wasn't able to find a shot where she is looking right. I did however find a video and the conclusion on this occasion is that she didn't have this issue when she was younger because we can clearly see the whites of her eyes equally sized when she is looking right.
This new information led us back to the eye clinic this week where we saw three doctors, one of whom saw something which concerned him.
He said that the affected eye appears to be bulging out slightly further than the other, implying that there is something pressing on it from behind.
Personally I find this very hard to see and if I see anything at all it because they have said it and I certainly wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it.
Then the doctor gave us a not so fun list of all the potentially life threatening things it could be and an appointment for a scan to take a closer look what's going on inside.
My feeling with this from the beginning is that no doctor will be able to tell us the answer.
Though they may perhaps fill us with fear!
We always planned to do a scan when she was old enough, just to be sure, so the only thing which has changed is the new feeling, brought on by the list of potential bad things.
I understand it is their duty to give us such lists but frankly we could have done without it.
These kids are in perfect health & if we must have a scan to prove it, then let's just get it done and move on.
Love & Light 🙏🏻

Ah yes, the healthScare system...
I also have one eye that is more dilated than the other. This possibly started following a car crash, though I am not 100% sure. My own recent experience with the healthScare system is that after 10 years of constant facial pain, ear blockage and other related symptoms, it was my own inner voice that told me what the problem was. I literally heard the words (not from my conscious thinking process) - you have tendonitis of the jaw. I didn't know that existed, but it turns out it is a known diagnosis with exactly the symptoms I have. The first 'specialist' I found was advocating that the only treatment involved injecting numbing agents into the tendon to test it and then probably surgery... Quickly skipping past such nonsense, I found a body focused specialist who gave me, for free, a few massages to do and within 10 minutes the pain was mostly gone - after 10 YEARS of constant pain.
The point of all this is just to remind that, yes, most 'medical professionals' are completely disconnected from the reality of the body and deluded into thinking that a mental reasoning is the best way to get to what's needed, when it often is not. I don't know exactly what is happening with your daughter here and I am not intending to advise you not get a scan done - it will probably be a good idea.. I'm just validating your concern about the 'ignorance presented as wisdom' system. :/
I wish you all well!
n.b. to be clear, the tendonitis of the jaw issue is not specifically associated with one pupil being dilated.. but it is associated with all the other symptoms I have. However, that does include visual disturbance, so maybe the pupil will be affected over time too.
Yes, you mentioned your eye before and the idea of seeing a holistic chiropractor. Which is a good idea we are yet to take action on.
Knowing the pupil was dilated since birth I didn't feel like it was anything of concern.
And I still don't! But we will have the scan, just to clear the air.
If those 'medical professionals' didn't have the machine we need we wouldn't be talking to them at all.
Any progress with your hair project?
Ah yes, I remember now - So much happens here every day that I lose track of a lot of what I talk about - but it comes back when triggered.
I've been focusing more on my jaw and neck because it was constantly painful, I am having to prioritise my time. I am getting closer to being able to look more at the aesthetic side of things - but I'm not there yet.. However, I am pretty sure that releasing the muscles in my neck will improve blood flow to my scalp too. My hair really stopped growing around the same time as I had my neck/ear problems - so I think they are somewhat related. How did you get on with that book?
All makes sense. Sorry to hear you have been having a hard time with that.
Once something starts working I stop researching. So, in truth I have stashed it away for future reading. The brush seems effective enough for now, though this may not always be the case!

Hi @amico!
Did you know Steem Basic Income has a Quality Policy?
It's a tricky issue. On the one hand, you need to avoid buying into their scare tactics. But it's a fine line between staying positive and denial. The upside of the medical system is that it can be helpful to find out exactly what is going on (if anything). Then you can always ignore their advice, and make your own decisions about what natural therapies to use. We have had some experience with similar issues, so feel free to contact me in Discord when and if you get further info. Best wishes to you all.
Hey there! Thank you for your offer to get in touch. Let us see how things play out.
Yes, I can see the value of the modern medical system along with the problems.
When we arrived in France a year ago Esteban was coughing a lot and a local doctor tried to convince us he was asthmatic and needed an inhaler. When we disagreed and said no thanks he became very rude calling us uneducated. Don't think anyone had ever said no to him before! Needless to say the cough subsided on its own and the experience remains as a good reminder for us.
So, for Luna we will hear their advice and figure it out from there.
Best wishes back to you :)
Man thats a scary situation, i don't believe in doctors either but if it were my child with a situation like that I would definitely consider doing the same.. in any case I am sending good vibes and hoping for the best for u and ur family.
Doesn't exactly feel scary, just harder to access the usual flow of positivity. Appreciate your good vibes and am looking forward to writing the post which confirms there is nothing to worry about ;)
The doctors always have to pump fear just like the media. Unfortunately we are programmed to react to fear over anything else. Sure she'll be fine, I hope you find some solution that it natural. In the meantime sending reiki energy her way 💯🐒
You know it. The main thing I am trying to avoid is a focus of attention on all those things it could be, when in reality we know nothing for sure. I can see now how easy it would be to get sucked in to the fear created by doctors and potentially even manifest the undesirable cause before making it to the scan! And I am grateful to be aware of this and steering the energetic ship in the other direction ;)
Appreciate your focused positivity 🙏🏻
