Excessive and prolonged stress, or the poor ability to cope with stress, can
negatively affect everything in our lives: our health, relationships, job
performance and emotional well-being.  Open Focus is a practical and
effective method for reducing stress-related symptoms and enhancing
well-being, using principles developed in the field of biofeedback.

Open Focus practice helps to develop attentional skills, the most basic
behavior in which we engage.  Open Focus attention training encourages
awareness of how you attend to the wide array of sensory
experiences-and the space between those experiences.  Learning to foster
attention that is nonexclusive and nonjudgmental supports in integrating
your experiences  with openness and flexibility.

These techniques will help you relieve stress, manage physical pain,
regulate emotions, and set the stage for peak performance and
transcendent moments.  Practiced regularly, they can bring about dramatic
changes in your life.

The OPEN FOCUS BRAIN
Harnessing the Power of Attention to Heal Mind
and Body

by Les Fehmi, Ph.D. And Jim Robbins
NOW PUBLISHED -- GERMAN EDITION
The Open Focus Blog
From Publishers Weekly
Alongtime clinician and researcher in biofeedback, Fehmi (with the assistance of science writer Robbins, author
of A Symphony in the Brain) advances his program for learning to relieve stress by attaining what he calls open
focus—a more diffuse, flexible form of attention that, paradoxically, allows one to focus better and in a more
relaxed way. According to Fehmi, most of us habitually operate in a narrow-focus stress mode that results in
anxiety and a host of physical problems, including digestive upsets, rashes and migraines. Fehmi draws on his
experience with neurofeedback (brain-wave biofeedback) to explain how we can shift our brain waves to
attain open focus. These mental techniques help you to experience your body and even your heart in a new
way and change how you perceive the space around you. Fehmi grounds his plan in research and patient
anecdotes showing the techniques can reduce pain and improve relationships and athletic performance. Fehmi
acknowledges the results of open focus are similar to those from meditation, but even readers skeptical of
Eastern spirituality may find Fehmi's science-based program useful. (The accompanying audio CD was not
heard by PW). (July 10)
