The Power of Panoramic Vision for Stress Reduction and Improved Focus
Dilating your gaze to achieve panoramic vision can release the brain's alertness connection to the brain stem, providing a relaxing effect and reducing stress. Panoramic vision is covert and can inhibit reflexes during arguments or high-stress situations. It helps relax the brain and body, making it particularly helpful for people with fear of public speaking or challenges in different environments. Engaging in panoramic vision increases situational awareness and responsiveness, as it uses neurons that transmit information much faster, improving reaction times. Panoramic vision allows the brain to relax, storing information faster and decompressing, leading to a heightened level of focus when leaning back into activity. This approach is essential as constant demands on our attentional system throughout the day can lead to trouble focusing and memory issues.
