Why Do We Resist Change?

By Marion D. “Micki” Jones

Have you ever heard the expression “it’s hard for an old dog to learn new tricks”? Well, that is exactly how I felt when I first started learning Applied Iridology.

In 1992, I had already been practicing “Jensen” Iridology for 14 years. People were getting well and my reputation as an Iridologist and Iridology instructor was becoming well known in many areas. At this point in time, I began to have a lot of questions regarding the markings I was observing in the iris. For example, how can someone be an insulin dependent diabetic when there is no lacuna or darkness showing at approximately 7 o’clock in the right eye? I was taught that this is the area for the pancreas. I did and analysis for a lady who was on the list for a heart transplant and absolutely no marking appeared between 2:30 and 3:30 o’clock in the left eye. I had learned that dirty brown or orange colors would disappear from the iris when a person did a lot of cleansing, but this was not happening.

These are just a very few of the questions I was beginning to have so I started searching for more information and knowledge. I obtained the Josef Deck books for the National Iridology Research Association and became so excited because a lot of my questions were being answered. (The pancreas shows in two places in both the right and left eye and the heart shows in both eyes in the iris). After more study of the Decks works, I found that everything I was looking at in the iris seemed to relate to cancer. This information started to disturb me because not everyone has cancer and we all know you cannot diagnose cancer by looking at the iris of the eye.

At this point, I started studying Applied Iridology through the National Iridology Research Association. I found the Applied Iridology to be extremely helpful and accurate. But, then as I learned more and more I began to realize that many of the things I had been putting into practice in the past was not completely accurate. One example is, when I would see white lines in or around a lacuna I would tell the person that these were “healing lines”. I would actually tell people that “it was like darning a sock with new fibers”. I now know that these are a form of healing lines because the body is trying to heal a suppressed situation, but new fibers are never formed in the iris.

I had a great deal of inner turmoil for a while, but as I started little by little putting these new concepts into practice, I realized I was helping people get well faster without commenting on every single marking I saw in their eyes. (In the past, I would actually have people say “I felt pretty good when I came into you office, but now I wonder if I am going to make it home because I am so sick”).

What I am trying to share with you I, don’t be afraid to change your approach. As you learn more and more, simply start applying a few of the new concepts at a time. You will be so amazed how accurate you are and how much easier doing an iris analysis is. For example, start applying the information about the three main constitution types to your analysis. Never believe that “Jensen” Iridology is all-wrong. I believe that most of the “Jensen” Iridology is a good place to learn and ask questions. A lot of research and new data is being developed in the European countries and through The National Iridology Research Association, we have access to this new information.

How many times have we, s Iridologists, been able to get a person on a program and see tremendous improvement, but at some point no improvement is observed or felt by the client?

To answer this, I would like to share this with you. Just today, I saw a 26-year-old gentlemen from Turkey. At the of 16, he began losing his eyesight. The doctors have told him that has a genetic disorder called “retinitis pigmentosa” and he will be totally blind in a few years because there is nothing that can be done.

When I looked at his eyes, he had a very strong constitution with very few genetic weaknesses. However, there were lacunae at approximately 12 minutes in the right eye and 57 minutes in the left eye, which would be in the retina area of the iris. No degeneration or activity markings were noted so I continued with the Analysis and observed a “time risk” marking in both eyes at 12 years. I asked the young man if he had experienced emotional trauma around the age of 12 years. He thought a few minutes then told me his father had a very serious automobile accident when he was 12 years old and they didn’t know for two years if his father would live or die.

I asked if his father was still living and he said “yes”. I asked how he felt about his father and he told me “I love my father more than myself and we are very close. I found my answer!

This young man had genetic weakness in the retinas of his eyes since birth. We all know that just because we have a genetic weakness, we don’t have to have a problem. However, at the age of 12 years, this young man saw something for two years he didn’t want to see so he tried to “stop seeing”. This emotional strain triggered his major genetic weakness, which manifested about the age of 16 years. I shared this information with him and he began to cry, which is also healing.

I put him on an emotion remedy and some supplements to support and strengthen the eyes and circulation. Of course, we talked about diet and lifestyle, but in my heart, I know this man will not go blind if he handles the suppressed emotions.

Don’t be afraid to learn and apply new research and information to your work. If we ever stop learning and growing, we may as well quit!
