Many programs focus one one or two areas, such as astral projection or levitation duration; and while these feats are impressive for sure most individuals would benefit far more cross-modality training, strengthening the whole spirit and giving it an overall better chance at escaping the wheel of Samsara. For the first video in my new series, SuperBodhisattva Training, we're going to be looking training the Third Eye. Now I know what some of you are thinking, if you're able to see the world in truth, beyond the veil of the physical, you're pretty set, right? well you can level up your senses...

[@xCorvus7x]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if your fingernails became tougher over time because of some activity that requires strong hands and fingers, the tips of which are stabilised by the nails, after all (probably work, since toughening structures usually needs not too much stress at once but all the more consistency).

[@Bvggerffpls]

[@billbill6094]

I'll be honest, I always found purposefully practicing quiet eye technique while actively engaged in sport to be quite limited in usefulness. It's a skill that's development requires specific focus on the eye rather than the stimulus the eye is seeing and how to use it to move the body in real time, and sometimes encourages stillness when your eye _should_ be moving. Its that Miyamoto Musashi principle of putting your focus into a specific part of your body making you too rigid to react correctly. I've actually found it more useful to train specific motor functions in the eye by how you're looking. This was after seeing a video by 6× world champion kickboxer Gabriel Varga with an opthalmologist explaining the 14 essential motor functions of the eye, how we weaken some of them as we age and stare at screens so often, and how regaining those motor functions have proven benefits like faster reflexes and can reduce concussions in fight sports by 40%. So instead of trying specifically to stop eye movement _while_ shooting hoops, I found it more helpful to rapidly focus from one object to another, try to bring that object into focus faster (maybe if they're words on a street sign see how fast I can read one before looking at another sign), try and concsiously feel 3D space more often by pointing my eyes at the same object more accurately (+try to feel the difference between small gaps close and large gaps far), and focus on more smoothly tracking objects. _Before_ I actually participate in any sport. In just 3-4 days of this sparring felt like my partner was moving in slow motion. I'm not saying quiet eye is useless and I'm sure that I've developed it at some point on the court or on the mat, but just that I found a lot of talk about training vision focuses on mental skills, when training my motor functions prior was a less demanding and more helpful practice personally. It works on its own in the moment, and the ability to get your head knocked back and _immediately_ have eyes on your opponent again makes you perform better and feel like the terminator.

[@monsieurLDN]

Was the video called something likw improve your defense with eye training and do you mean with feel 3d space, seeing an object from different angles and distances and noticing the space around it?

[@billbill6094]

​@@monsieurLDN Found it again and yeah it was called Level Up Your Defense With This Eye Training. By "feeling 3D space" I mean seeing through both eyes equally, having both accurately aimed at the same point, and getting a greater feeling of depth. Unless you're stereoblind most people can feel depth inherently, and even if you _are_ stereoblind you can train your eyes to focus on the same point. Your brain processes the difference in input from both eyes faster and more accurately the closer they're aimed at the same point, it uses this to interpret depth. It's evolved this way. I found I often wasn't inherently _feeling_ 3D space until I focused on it even though I'm not stereoblind, and that's probably due to so much time staring at screens, where your eyes don't need to focus on one point so they start to slip occasionally and grow less coordinated. So yeah, see an object, feel its shape and the space around it, giving you a better feel of distance and location. Switch focus between objects and feel the distance between them. Makes everything feel more "real" in a sense, helps your aim, and since your brain doesn't have to process so hard to make two images one you get less motion blur and react quicker. Only one of the motor skills but they're easy to train at the same time and you can do it anywhere when just practicing being attentive to your surroundings.

The world without senses has a magic inside of it as well. Deep explorations into meditative states, couples with isolation tank therapy, can reveal parts of the experience of consciousness to a person that they commonly lack access to; partly because of the endless sea of information the brain has to constantly interpret. Freeing up these cognitive processes, even for a few moments, can reveal layers of the sense of self that can relieve stress and anxiety while giving us the tools to better visualize the intellectual and emotional resonance of our future

I've found that consistently changing jobs (specifically involving highly active outdoor jobs) is a good way to train a variety of different traits that would usually be boring if done through repetitive exercise programs. Every single job requires different movement patterns and after a year or so of movement in that occupation, it tends to be unlikely that there will be dramatic increase in performance doing even more of that occupation. Of course there will always be new things to learn no matter how long you are involved in an occupation as the world is constantly changing but the bulk of that learning I believe has peaked after 1 year and the only way to reset your body into the toddler like state of learning again is to find a new occupation that encourages new growth.

[@antonguidera6820]

Myopia is caused by chronically hypertonic extra ocular muscles. This can happen from trauma or malpractice. Violinists for example suffer with myopia and astigmatism due to keeping the head on an angle for hours on end. 'Myopia is mental' is a great KZbin channel that offers ways to fix myopia. I stopped wearing glasses and contacts, incorporated these techniques and have seen improvement

@@mamamal3 it's difficult to find the original cause. They say trauma can even happen in the womb. But it doesn't really matter. The fact that muscles control the eye shape and these muscles can be trained to contract and relax and function properly means there is a way to improve eyesight without LASEK

[@VINZVANGO]

I've been incorporating eye training for a few months now, I started doing these "360" drills where I try to explore the maximum range of my visual focus, I started doing this after it clicked to me that the eyes are controlled by muscles like any other fine movement. The other primary exercise I do is keep my eyes locked straight ahead and move a finger around the boundaries of my vision to see how far my brain can interpret motion. I feel this skill would be highly useful for fighting sports like boxing. Now, I want to talk about a concept I came up with that I haven't really heard discussed anywhere else, maybe this might be useful info or not. The past couple of years, I started to feel kinda "clumsy" on my right side. I realized a month back that my vision was primarily dominant on my left side. The weird thing to me is that I've almost exclusively trained bodyweight exercises so I couldn't understand why I felt so disconnected from the right side of my body. But then I started to do my pushups/pullups while closing and opening my left eye. I noticed that when I had to rely on my right eye, I felt a deeper connection to the right side of my body, and then opening and closing my left eye repeatedly almost "reset" my body's proprioceptive awareness. For what it's worth, I'm a musician and dancer and I've been trying to enhance my sense of proprioception which helps me get better at playing my bass without looking at my instrument (I practice eyes closed) and learning to retain my sense of space when I'm inverted or sideways when dancing. I think it's worth looking into the link between vision and visualization with regards to developing proprioception and spatial awareness. Try performing any set while closing one or both eyes on certain reps. Maybe this worked just for me, but I feel a deeper balance between my right and left side muscles.

I think what's more important than what you should do is what you SHOULDN'T do. So many of us spend all day staring into a screen, even at really young ages, sometimes a glaring screen in a dark room inches from our faces. This causes degeneration in our ocular faculties in addition to a slew of other problems. I've gotten better about this over the years, but still find myself sucked in too often. Also, somewhat unrelated, I was in Japan last year and decided to get contact lens. Turns out I'm actually not near-sighted as I thought; I just have a horrendous astygmatism! It was actually so bad that they had to order lens from a special company. What's worse is that even those weren't strong enough. 😓

[@NMahon]

You know many peoples eyesight deteriorates as they sit in front of a computer screen all day, i often wondered if this was an adaptation that could be changed. Our body is definitely a "use it or lose it" machine, so if we use the thing thata getting worse wont it not improve? Everything else in our body works that way?

Wow! This is way too simplified. Ciliary muscle does not control convergence, there is though a convergence coupling with the ciliary near response. Ciliary muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, being different than the Skeletal muscles of the EOMs. However, there are similar receptors in the EOMs to that of the thyroid showing an autonomic endocrine link possibly. Vision is not just about the motor or the sight, it’s much deeper and more vast than that, but good for pointing out muscle function beyond than just sight.
