Can someone really improve their concentration in just 17 minutes through practice?

Question

Has anyone experimented with a 17-minute practice that states it can ‘rewire the brain’ for better attention and focus? Has it been effective?

Answer 1

So, I play the Frequency game where I pick a phrase such as,  "Every Day Things Just Keep Getting Better and Better and Better". All day I think or say this phrase.  It produces a feeling of well being, calm, flow, etc.  While in this elevated state of consciousness, I have what you call Panoramic Vision, maybe I am in the Gamma Brain Wave, I don't really know. Thank you for the information you share. Our bodies are indeed magnificent machines.

I have trained this up since I was small. I have always widend my gaze to observe more than 1 thing and also doing my best to listen to multiple people at 1 time. I find it kind of fun. And now I am 28 and when I open a cabinet, and something falls out I catch it 9/10 times. Which means I am processing where my hand needs to be in less than .5 second.. my reflexes are super fast now because of opening my gaze Especially, during stressful situations; making sure to slow my mind down and take things step by step because I often get ahead of myself and overthink things as well.

Answer 3

When I think about my childhood I always remember being able to "see" differently. I would explain it like being able to have a better focus on everything around me with less worry about what was off in the distance. It was a wider, more adjusted focus on things and I have never been able to explain this correctly in words and nobody has ever understood wtf I meant but this panoramic vision describes what I have probably been talking about.

Answer 4

I take hot baths for 20 minutes and submerge all but my nose. However, with ears under water. I listen to my own neart beat and breathing while submerged ( except my nose to breathe). This is the most calming form of easy meditation. Possibly akin to hearing my mother's heartbeat and breathing pattern in the womb. My ability to focus and attend to nformation has always been excellent. Perhaps this is the reason?

Comments

My bath is too shallow.

ILL FIND MY STETHESCOPE GREAT IDEA LISTEN TO MY HEART BEAT

Answer 5

I found incredible benefits in doing (a minimum of) 20 minutes of Yoga Nedra every day - easy to do as it is guided. I was also surprised how easily one can extend the practice to much longer sessions.

Answer 6

Andrew Huberman,
Namaste Form Bharat.
The meditation technique i.e. Vipassana you were talking about is one the ancient techniques  of meditation still followed in Bharat through various centers across the whole country and It focuses on exploring innerself as you had talked in the video.  I have taken the 10 days Vipassana training.
Happy to know the scientific side of the whole process..
Thanks for the valuable information.

Answer 7

Thank you for the information this will definitely help me i hope. Life is getting hard for me everyone calls me dumb as i could not focus on things and  not able to concentrate more on what people are saying and what information i have to gather. I brink more when im gathering information visually and vocally i nod more and i tried to avoid nodding and now im going to concentrate on this meditation of 17 minutes i hope this will help me. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Answer 8

Thank you for making this video. You just made feel understood and I learned something today.

Answer 9

I wonder if this only works with the eyes closed. Ever since I was a kid, I had a habit of letting my eyes relax and un-focus, which immediately opens up the peripheral vision and silences the mind. It calms you down almost instantly and changes how you perceive and process things.

Comments

No it doesn't. Zazen is performed with the eyes open and relaxed, as you have described, and that's essentially what this man is describing.

---

"This man" is describing two different activities, not just one. The video has two topics.

Answer 10

I've been experimenting with panoramic vision. A few months ago I was running trails through a hilly forest at night without the aid of artificial light. The canopy of the forest blocked the moon and star light. I uses peripheral vison or panoramic vision because it enhances night vision. I ran my 7K route 5 minutes faster and without tripping over a root or rock, or running into a tree or getting a branch in the face. I spent some time pondering over this why this was possible. Either my body went into an enhanced state of ESP or intuition, or the peripheral/panoramic vision caused my brain waves to shift into alpha state, too bad I wasn't hooked up to sensors to measure if that was the case.

Comments

Nice

You ran a 7K through a forest, in the dark, with no light source to guide your path, without tripping on anything, without feeling exhausted, and having no fear of encountering any wild creatures that could be roaming nearby.
I find that hard to believe.

---

That's exactly what I said and did. I was seriously hoping that there wouldn't be a skunk on the trails.

Answer 11

17 minutes is a lifetime for someone with ADHD

Comments

Perhaps a progressive approach would have therapeutic effects that would enable longer sessions later.

---

17 min is a good way to do visual mnemonics to pass biochem!

---

When I started meditating it was really hard for me too (I have ADHD)

I started with 5 minutes meditations and worked up to longer ones. Now I meditate for 30 minutes and I look forward to it

---

Thank you so much for sharing!  I was hoping to introduce this practice to my teenager, yet knew he would not be able to do more than a couple minutes initially and would most likely get discouraged.  It's good to know that there has been success in slowly building up to the 17 minute practice.

Answer 12

Thank You. I am grateful for coming across your video. :)

Answer 13

Holy moly... I actually did this without knowing the scientific data and I experienced big results when I was student. It's time to go back to basics.

Answer 14

1:04. Attentional blinks ADHD
2:30. Open monitoring
3:00. Panoramic vision:
4:07 ❗️ RXXXXX Interoception 15-20 minutes 5:15 5:50❗️ 6:32 Dilated gaze

Comments

Thanks.  Info I was curious about (definitely could be labeled meditation) begins at about 4:07 or so, right when I was getting ready to bail.  I appreciate you who alleviate the suffering for the rest of us.❤❤

Answer 15

Meditation is commonly thought of as underwhelming.  I think most people would be overwhelmed the first time they try meditation.  To actually take the time and focus to guide your mind away from every impulsive thought you have.  
I truly think society would enormously benefit from more people taking a small amount of their time to calmly face themselves without any distractions.  I.E. no phone!
