In this video Susan Shor Fehmi leads me in an Open Focus practice that you can do along with me.
Susan is a practising psychotherapist and director of the Princeton Biofeedback Centre. The technique was scientifically developed with the aid of specially designed EEG machines by her husband, the scientist Dr Les Fehmi (now retired). Susan and her husband have been training people to use the Open Focus technique to alleviate stress, dissolve pain and achieve peak performance.
Dr Fehmi was even recruited to train the Dallas Cowboys in the technique because their coach had recognised its potential to be even more effective than massage in muscle recovery by effecting change at the nervous system level, not to mention how a greater control of attentional bias can lead to better sports performance.
The technique works by diffusing your attention, widening your focus, making you conscious of space (“objectless aawareness”), and immersing you with the objects of your awareness.
The result goes far beyond relaxation, it teaches you the genuine skill of greater attentional flexibility.

Discover more information on the technique and the science behind it in Dr Les Fehmi’s excellent 2008 book “The Open Focus Brain”, which is now more relevant than ever due to our ever-deeper reliance on technologies that demand narrow focus.
