My quality of life today is a miracle. I came to Dr Fehmi having constant migraine and pain attacks that had robbed me of my fun meter for life. They were caused by my lack of managing my focus. I live by Dr Fehmi’s saying," it’s not what you pay attention to, it's how you pay attention to whatever it is. Today the Open Focus ... Read more

I am the learning disabilites specialist at the Center for Learning Disorders in Manhattan. We recently saw a client for neurological, psychological and educational evaluations.

I had been practicing Open Focus exercises for several years and felt it had been helpful in addressing the life challenges I have been working on for many years. Then I attended the workshop in LA 2/14. It was a significant turning point for me. Immersion in the exercises over those 3 days brought me to a new level of experiencing O... Read more

A child's brain can be taught to regulate itself, much like a youngster can be taught to ride a bike. Through the training, the brain is provided with the information it needs to regulate itself, thereby causing the necessary adjustments which bring about changes in behavior. The most common feedback about EEG training from parents i... Read more

Ritalin, Dexedrine and Clonidine, they all have side effects...Ritalin can slow down growth, it can lead to insomnia, it can cause loss of appetite....but it can also turn around a child's life.... I would rather see biofeedback tried first.

Open focus attention training has become a regular practice in my life. If I don't do it I feel the difference. My nervous system is not in balance. Open focus has helped me overcome vertigo episodes. Now, the moment I recognize early warning signals I enter open focus and I feel much better. The training I had done in 2013 with D... Read more

I've seen some remarkable results with EEG Biofeedback in a number of children I have referred. It has seemed particularly helpful with speech, memory and attention deficit problems.

Attending the Open Focus / Synchrony workshop was one of the highlights of my personal life and career.

Time and commitment is a... Read more

For the first time since I've had Eric (age 6), I'm not worried about him. Impulsitivity is under control. I always knew he was smart. Now he's able to learn by leaps and bounds. He's much happier. He listens better. The changes with the EEG training were noticeable right away.

You have given us back the child we always wanted

Our adopted son, who was prenatally exposed to alcohol, had attention deficits. He was oppositional and impulsive. He had phobias and anxiety. You throw all that together on one little five year old and that's an awful lot to deal with. This technique has been the light at the end of a very long tunnel for us. Nothing else has work...

Without going into too much detail, I will divulge that I was in desperate need of a solution to cope with pain. My doctors were giving me all they had in terms of medication and treatment but it seemed like I was alone in the world when it came to the physical anguish I was experiencing. With a relatively skeptic eye, I read [Dr. Fe... Read more

When I first saw this new book by Dr Fehmi I thought its premise was too good to be true.

Even months of really good therapy proved insufficient to budge the bulk of the symptoms I experience as a result of severe PTSD. In seven weeks of practicing Open Focus I have seen huge changes, it feels like a miracle. The changes include: * massive reduction in everyday pain level * ability to rapidly deal with flashbacks and ... Read more

5Helps tremendously. The Open Focus approach is exactly what I was looking for to bridge the gap between meditation and medicine. Neither were helping my long list of ailments, mainly migraines, and other approaches such as "mindfulness" just made things worse. . . I have not found a better method for healing than this. . . Open fo... Read more

I didn’t even finish listening to the podcasts about open focus when I found myself unable to sleep last night. I decided to focus on the open space around me and promptly fell asleep. It was an unusual experience. I will listen to the other podcast and try to implement the idea with regard to pain. Thanks for sending them to me.

A very special remembrance on your birthday,Les. Someday they might make April 23rd a national holiday in honor of your groundbreaking work. It amazes me to see articles appearing in the supposed avant-garde technical press that we discussed years ago. I’m especially thankful to you for my many neurofeedback sessions . . .and of...

In my opinion, Open Focus increases creativity. I have noticed it in myself. I have clients who are also therapists. They say they are more intuitive and able to develop better insight into their clients issues. It also helps calm people and they report better sleep.

Two things I wanted to share: First, my wife had had a lot of eye tension which was causing strain. After working with her with Open Focus a few times over the past week, that tension has largely dissolved. In the meantime, she has started using Open Focus with her voice students (I think I mentioned she is a singer and voice teacher... Read more

I have bought both ‘Dissolving Pain’ and ‘The Open-Focus Brain’. I am now able to go into Open-Focus instantly and cannot thank Les Fehmi enough. I am 78 years of age and for the past few years have had on and off excruciating foot and calf muscle cramps on waking, that go on for many minutes and are very (screaming!) p... Read more

I am continuing to have great success. The other day I was having a really awful day and feeling very stressed out.

Also, I have been working on a database for work, and I have rea... Read more

Well, now that I have almost 10 years experience using Open Focus and working with clients, I can say without any doubts that I continue to be amazed by the efficacy of Open Focus; how it literally and figuratively "peels away" levels of stress, anxiety and pain just like an onion.
