Deep dives

The Importance of the Visual System

The visual system plays a crucial role in our mental and physical health, as well as overall performance. Unlike other parts of the central nervous system, the eyes provide vital information about our external circumstances. By practicing panoramic vision, which involves expanding our visual field and becoming more situationally aware, we can relax the nervous system while remaining alert. This can be especially useful in reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus, and enhancing performance in various activities.
