Incorporating this into everyday life and seriously impacted my life in such a positive way. Just doing normal things, like walking through my house, driving somewhere, I specifically try to widen my view and soften my gaze, focus on my peripherals, and it relaxes me immensely. And it doesn’t help that our smartphones are such small devices that we focus on during a large part of our day, it really messes up the panoramic view.
I just started it 2 days ago and I feel like it has changed my life for the better, stress levels plummeted instantly, and the longer you do it, the deeper the effect. I did it pretty much consistently out walking yesterday and felt a calm I have not experienced for years.
I stumbled across the link between peripheral vision/awareness a few days ago through the process of "resting in awareness", a kind of nonduality meditation process. While doing this I noticed that I was literally looking at the world in a different way physically. I remembered there were NLP processes that utilised this and watched a couple of videos on that. Almost instantly my stress levels plummeted, it was mind blowing how effective it worked. Today I have found this amazing video as Dr Huberman expertly explains what is actually going on and why. Thank you so much for this amazing video Tim, everyone should know about this, this simple process of peripheral awareness could help so many needlessly suffering from anxiety.
Use the pointing experiment from Douglas Harding. Point to objects away from you and slowly point to things closer to your body. Then point to parts of your body. Then point to your head.....what do you see where your head should be? An open vastness. This immediately relaxes me. It's called being headless.
Ok, I've NOT heard of this before. Have been looking for ANY help during all this 2020 - 4EVER nonsense. I'm ready to try anything & this seems to be the Universe & synchronicity speaking to me. Was just listening to WASP, from late 1980's. The album I'm on is The Headless Children & I was on track 3, The Headless Children just before this video. Then you're comment. Tell me that's just coincidence! Haven't heard the album in 30 years!
Brilliant! I have personal experience with the other direction. Traumatic Brain Injury results in tunnel vision. And the bodies response is the same to both physical trauma or emotional trauma. I was lucky to be taught a Daoest practice of eye rolling. Rotate your eyes in 9 clockwise circles and then 9 counterclockwise circles. Then repeat that 9 times. Wonderful relaxation practice.
@@trizgreen7682 I found several similar practices on the web. Try searching for “eye rotation exercises” and “eye yoga”. It took some practice to become comfortable with how I do it. I suggest beginning seated with eyes closed. Warm up with some half circles. Imagine a clock in front of you. Visualize the numbers 3 and 9. With your eyes still closed, move your eyes as far to the left as possible (9 o’clock). Then make an arc upward through 12 and down to 3. Repeat this several times back and forth like windshield wipers. Then do the same on the lower half of the arc. I notice that the rotation is not always smooth. There are segments on the arc where the movement is more “bumpy”. The more stressful the situation, the more bumps. You will know you are progressing toward relaxation as the movement becomes more fluid. After a warmup, I start doing full 360 rotations. Count 9 clockwise rotations. Then 9 counter-clockwise rotations. Then do this set 9 more times. It will be a total of 81 rotations each direction. Once you have the process mastered with eyes closed, you can try it with eyes open. I like doing the process outside in nature. One of the benefits is an improved sense of situational awareness. Better knowing your current environment gives you more options for how to proceed in life.
Thank you for sharing this !! I did a similar thing last after watching a Damon Cart NLP youtube video, You do as you say, then the last set is doing figures of 8 with your eyes, but yes, basically the same up to that point. Thanks again !
Casting a wide gaze is something that many Native American tribes would practice. Mainly for scanning a large areas for food, or enemies. However, in that they learned it also brought peace and relaxation.
Thank god. Many of us have breathing anxiety. We can't focus on breathing. So we search for other ways to meditate. And though many of them seem to use methods other than breathing, they eventually also including breathing. From Sedona Method to HeartMath to Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra uses a lot of focus on body sensation which is great, but it eventually comes around to breathing, also. Now here's something that can be used instead of breathing on its own. I wish he would have given suggestions on how long. For example, for ten minutes a day, or just for a couple seconds anytime throughout the day, etc. So far I can't find any further information online about it. But I'll keep looking.
I have had long hair all my life. When I managed a large Dairy. I required milkers to have their hair under control (tied back) or cut. I specifically told them they needed their peripheral vision. Now with old age and thinning hair I've been thinking about a haircut and wondering what about my peripheral vision!
Huberman is also a big fan of the Physiological Sigh -- another way to reduce stress. I wonder -- could we do both things simultaneously to lower stress FASTER? -- Physiological Sighing WHILE practicing Panoramic Vision? Or would the multitasking be counterproductive?
ive faintly noticed this where i try this mental thing where i try to let go of the self conscious and the ego and i notice a wide angle where im more relaxed.... probably i can i bypass the whole process with this understanding kind of like directly proportional variables in an equation
There are some japanese studies on this I read a while ago , seems to be a biological link to safety and been able to see more and further if any danger would be coming we would have more time to find a scape. Sound it's linked too and its a great japanese documentary " In pursuit of silence" that analyses this. Meditation also tricks the brain into that wider vision state, as we can imagine it and attain the same effects.

I could listen to Huberman talk forever, very concise and rich with info and not full of fluff.

Have you got some source regarding the non-dual resting on awareness meditation?
Many thanks.

Pls define it more

Yeap, wide angle vision. Tom brown talks about it alot
4:55 How to reduce stress and anxiety by using panoramic vision.
Very good information can relate to what mentioned thank you 🙏
life saving information...thanks a lot!

So when somebody is arguing with me and they get a little heated, it's fair to say... they should widen their point of view
So Musashi was even more genius than we thought
Wow! Vision is also bidirectional?! By expanding our vision to panoramic, we can change the way we feel?? Mind=Blown.
Mind=relaxed
and it absolutely works !
this is amazing
The native americans called this wide angle vision - Tom Browns Tracker school goes deep into this

This works, I've been doing this for years
Good man, I have only been doing it 2 days, and yes it does !
Good man, I have only been doing it 2 days, and yes it does !
How to do this?
Very interesting thanks’
this literally feels like observation haki
everybody should know about this! :) # awesome
My thought too, it would get a LOT of people of off toxic pills.
Love these bois
All very useful - I just wish he wouldn't say 'respiration - breathing' as if they were the same thing. One is a chemical reaction...
what if I tell you
a blind man can see clearer than a person with vision
also the deaf man can hear clearer than a person who can hear.
How to comeback from panoramic vision
too overwhelming!? 😂 i didn't have to train for this. for the most part this is how it always been for me naturally. ND in some way or another.
🙏🏼💜
R u in malaka?

You should look into your namesake, Nisargadatta Maharaj. He can help with destressing
