What is Open Focus™ Training?

 

Developed by neuroscientist Dr. Les Fehmi, Open Focus™ is a powerful attention training technique that teaches you how to shift out of the narrow, high-stress focus of modern life. Instead of fixating on problems or pain, you learn to cultivate a flexible, spacious awareness that calms the nervous system and dissolves tension.

​

This practice teaches you how to :

​

• Dissolve Stressful Over-Focusing: Learn to move beyond the "fight-or-flight" attention that creates tension, and instead adopt a calm, diffuse awareness that promotes ease. 
   

• Reduce Your Experience of Chronic Pain : By broadening your attention, you can learn to stop fixating on pain signals, which lessens their intensity and allows your body to relax around them.
   

• Calm Anxiety and Quiet a Busy Mind : Open Focus gently guides your mind away from worry and rumination, creating a state of mental clarity and emotional stability. 
   

• Enhance Performance and Creativity : Access a "flow state" more easily by letting go of performance anxiety and self-criticism, allowing for more intuitive and effective action in sports, work, or art. 
   

• Synchronise Your Brainwaves : This method is scientifically shown to encourage alpha brainwave activity, the signature of a brain that is deeply relaxed yet fully alert and aware.
