Panoramic Vision and stress
Panoramic Vision and stress
Wednesday Gumption Booster 🚀
In the Gumption Stress Report I mentioned panaromic vision as one of the evidence-based tools. Here is a deep dive with Huberman.
👁️ The power of vision in shifting our state of mind and body for survival and well-being.
00:41 Vision is a strong lever to shift our state of mind and body. Our visual system can impact our well-being and ability to cope with challenges.
00:51 Eyes play a crucial role beyond just seeing colors and motion.
02:57 Our pupils dilate and our lens shape changes, affecting our vision. Stress and excitement cause our vision to narrow, resulting in a 'soda straw view'.
03:08 Our inner state influences changes in our visual system, altering our experience of the world.
05:38 Panoramic vision leads to relaxation, while focusing on screens or intense conversations can increase alertness. Both vision and breathing have rapid effects on our internal state, influencing each other bidirectionally.
06:09 Changes in internal state can be triggered by external stimuli, leading to alterations in breathing and vision
Yes. Thanks for this writing too. Omar. Listening to the Dr. Huberman video I was trying the sift-eyes practice linked with feeling my breathing. Immediate relaxation response. Absolutely will be practicing with this … and sharing it with others. Lovely!
