Open Focus Practice

Changing HOW you pay attention – without changing anything else – changes your brainwaves from stressful beta to calm, alert alpha.  These brainwaves change your physiology, releasing the effects of stress we accumulate.  That’s the discovery of neurofeedback pioneer Les Fehmi, PhD.  Most of us overuse narrow focus or “emergency mode,” and suffer physical effects such as tension and pain.  Dr. Fehmi described several modes of paying attention and created a method for shifting the whole brain from a beta brainwave pattern (emergency mode) to the beneficial and healing alpha pattern with its relaxed alertness.

And you can do it anywhere, anytime, with immediate effects.  The more you practice it, the easier it is to break the habit of a narrow, emergency mode of attention and unwind all that tension and pain.  So let’s practice!  You can join us live  for Open focus Friday, or use the recordings below to practice.
