Our knowledge and use of shamanism is probably less than your own, and
we are therefore somewhat hesitant to offer advice.  However, what you
are going through sounds particularly unpleasant and we'd like to
help.

Our best Shaman book suggests that most physical symptoms such as you
mention come from some blockage or attachment to one of your seven
tunnels.  The book suggests concentrating on each tunnel, clearing out
any slime or strings, renewing the vibrancy of each tunnel's color.
To protect each tunnel, the book suggests asking your guardian animal
to assign a separate power animal to each tunnel, one that will
represent the tunnel and is in affinity with your spirit body.  These
tunnel guardians should be asked to report any unbalances and to
restore power to a tunnel and be thanked for sticking around and
protecting you.

It would seem like the Sixth Tunnel, relating to the eyes and vision
might be the one you have difficulty in.  The book suggests that if
you find something or someone has entered a tunnel, you intensify the
color, clean it out and then print your name on the walls of that
tunnel - to re-own your tunnel.

We find it interesting that you should be working on a book and having
difficulty at the time this happened.  The sense of sight being so
tied up with clarity etc.

Let us know what happens.  Definitly sounds like something to take
care of.
