Most people today in our fast-paced world spend too much of their time in a narrow, objective attention. As a result, they experience feelings of stress, anxiety, worry, feeling stuck, being overwhelmed, struggling to make decisions, and not performing at their best either mentally or physically.
Our minds are cluttered, our days are busy, and often our nights are restless – still dealing with the unfinished business of a high stress life.
We spend most of our days in a constant state of fight or flight, rushing and running, overwhelmed with information overload, struggling with ever increasing pressure to multi-task and get more done – and never giving our nervous system the rest it needs. If you feel “out of sync”, chances are that’s because you are – quite literally.
Neurofeedback pioneer Dr. Fehmi and Susan Shor Fehmi, LCSW teach you the simple Open Focus™ “attentional flexibility” technique that can change your life.
Learning to easily shift how you pay attention is the key that unlocks the door to an entire mind/body sequence of physiological responses that impact your health, how you experience pain, your emotional state, and your ability to connect with others.

“I am in love with Open Focus. When I stumbled upon it, I realized that I had been in narrow focus (fight or flight mode) my whole life. It not only opened up a new way of being in the world, I also tout it (although the creators do not) as the most effective tool for spiritual awakening I have ever found.” – Donna Lou Stevens
“I am using Open Focus and Neurofeedback a lot in my life. Actually it changed the way I handle everything around me. I am running an investment company and I owe Les Fehmi a lot for this discovery.“-Dennis Burkyn, Australia
“Open Focus not only opened the door to a life of peace and allowing for me, but for my clients as well. After becoming a certified trainer in April, I have given probably thirty sessions to various people and every single one has had a profound experience.”
“I’ve just been amazed at the changes I’ve experienced through doing the exercises on the CD — and they occurred almost immediately. I’m much more calm. Things that used to bother me greatly are now in the background. It’s helped my family relationships and my work.”
“I recently began simple exercises with Open Focus, as recommended by my Occupational Therapy person who specializes in Neuromuscular Retraining. I haven’t felt this relaxed in years. My entire body feels different. I often fall asleep right away. I haven’t had normal sleep patterns since I was around 5.”
