Many programs focus one one or two areas, such as astral projection or levitation duration; and while these feats are impressive for sure most individuals would benefit far more cross-modality training, strengthening the whole spirit and giving it an overall better chance at escaping the wheel of Samsara.

As someone who's pretty content with their physical training regimen, I'm excited to see more videos on obscure bio-hacking/cognitive performance related topics.
I'll be honest, I always found purposefully practicing quiet eye technique while actively engaged in sport to be quite limited in usefulness. It's a skill that's development requires specific focus on the eye rather than the stimulus the eye is seeing and how to use it to move the body in real time, and sometimes encourages stillness when your eye _should_ be moving. Its that Miyamoto Musashi principle of putting your focus into a specific part of your body making you too rigid to react correctly. I've actually found it more useful to train specific motor functions in the eye by how you're looking. This was after seeing a video by 6× world champion kickboxer Gabriel Varga with an opthalmologist explaining the 14 essential motor functions of the eye, how we weaken some of them as we age and stare at screens so often, and how regaining those motor functions have proven benefits like faster reflexes and can reduce concussions in fight sports by 40%. So instead of trying specifically to stop eye movement _while_ shooting hoops, I found it more helpful to rapidly focus from one object to another, try to bring that object into focus faster (maybe if they're words on a street sign see how fast I can read one before looking at another sign), try and concsiously feel 3D space more often by pointing my eyes at the same object more accurately (+try to feel the difference between small gaps close and large gaps far), and focus on more smoothly tracking objects. _Before_ I actually participate in any sport. In just 3-4 days of this sparring felt like my partner was moving in slow motion. I'm not saying quiet eye is useless and I'm sure that I've developed it at some point on the court or on the mat, but just that I found a lot of talk about training vision focuses on mental skills, when training my motor functions prior was a less demanding and more helpful practice personally. It works on its own in the moment, and the ability to get your head knocked back and _immediately_ have eyes on your opponent again makes you perform better and feel like the terminator.
Was the video called something likw improve your defense with eye training and do you mean with feel 3d space, seeing an object from different angles and distances and noticing the space around it?
@@monsieurLDN Found it again and yeah it was called Level Up Your Defense With This Eye Training. By "feeling 3D space" I mean seeing through both eyes equally, having both accurately aimed at the same point, and getting a greater feeling of depth. Unless you're stereoblind most people can feel depth inherently, and even if you _are_ stereoblind you can train your eyes to focus on the same point. Your brain processes the difference in input from both eyes faster and more accurately the closer they're aimed at the same point, it uses this to interpret depth. It's evolved this way. I found I often wasn't inherently _feeling_ 3D space until I focused on it even though I'm not stereoblind, and that's probably due to so much time staring at screens, where your eyes don't need to focus on one point so they start to slip occasionally and grow less coordinated. So yeah, see an object, feel its shape and the space around it, giving you a better feel of distance and location. Switch focus between objects and feel the distance between them. Makes everything feel more "real" in a sense, helps your aim, and since your brain doesn't have to process so hard to make two images one you get less motion blur and react quicker. Only one of the motor skills but they're easy to train at the same time and you can do it anywhere when just practicing being attentive to your surroundings.
You remind me so much of my best buddy Jonathan in highschool. Very relatable and friendly. Informative and playful. Keep it up man! The world is better for having you in it.
The world without senses has a magic inside of it as well. Deep explorations into meditative states, couples with isolation tank therapy, can reveal parts of the experience of consciousness to a person that they commonly lack access to; partly because of the endless sea of information the brain has to constantly interpret. Freeing up these cognitive processes, even for a few moments, can reveal layers of the sense of self that can relieve stress and anxiety while giving us the tools to better visualize the intellectual and emotional resonance of our future
As someone with a rare non-correctable degenerative eye condition I religiously exercise my eyes as a counter balance to declining proprioception this is a great addition to my arsenal
I had a loud laugh at "you lucky bastards", i know exactly what you mean. Holidays for us in the last 9 years have been car trips to locations no more than five hours in our car exactly because of the stress you mentioned. But its coming back! Seriously, if you say you feel like sleepwalking - i feel you, but you are doing great - your content is great, your advices are sound and realistic, and i´m gonna check out that book now, because now i am really hooked for more.
My father knew a WW2 Veteran who did fine needlework probably up until the time he died of old age. He had been a pilot and attributed maintaining his vision to doing eye exercises they taught him when they trained him.
Just because I like to connect dots... In competitive gaming in Korea they are taught to move their head when looking at different parts of the screen instead of just your eyeball. It reduces eye fatigue and you can play longer.
The ONLY fitness channel I subscribe to. I have astigmatism (common) in both my eyes. These are some of the exercises that I do to adjust my eyes when not wearing glasses. Your eyes also share the same cells as your brain so eating "brain food" also helps improve your sight.
Myopia is caused by chronically hypertonic extra ocular muscles. This can happen from trauma or malpractice. Violinists for example suffer with myopia and astigmatism due to keeping the head on an angle for hours on end. 'Myopia is mental' is a great RUclips channel that offers ways to fix myopia. I stopped wearing glasses and contacts, incorporated these techniques and have seen improvement
@@mamamal3 it's difficult to find the original cause. They say trauma can even happen in the womb. But it doesn't really matter. The fact that muscles control the eye shape and these muscles can be trained to contract and relax and function properly means there is a way to improve eyesight without LASEK
2:06 so there's a bunch of videos like these called polyrhythms. It's where an object-- usually a dot is moving in a variety of geometric patterns. It's all math, but SO Amazing, and can be very relaxing! It's very beautiful art in motion! If these help, id highly recommend it!
Brother, you are doing Great work. Not your average content creator. Your time and effort are appreciated. Just subscribed to your channel, after seeing you pop up at search result at varied topics. Just a quick question, have you ever had a conversation with Bryan Johnson aka "used to have a quest to be successful, but now my quest is to find out how to slow down (if not reverse) aging and become 120+ years old (if not near immortal)" ?
The quiet eye is interesting. Its been said the best batsmen in cricket keep their heads very still when the rest of their body is moving in anticipation of bowling delivery.
I think what's more important than what you should do is what you SHOULDN'T do. So many of us spend all day staring into a screen, even at really young ages, sometimes a glaring screen in a dark room inches from our faces. This causes degeneration in our ocular faculties in addition to a slew of other problems. I've gotten better about this over the years, but still find myself sucked in too often. Also, somewhat unrelated, I was in Japan last year and decided to get contact lens. Turns out I'm actually not near-sighted as I thought; I just have a horrendous astygmatism! It was actually so bad that they had to order lens from a special company. What's worse is that even those weren't strong enough. 😓
Hi Adam, nice content as usual. I was wondering if you could do a Moon Knight and/or an Azrael workout like you did for Batman, Nightwing and Red Hood. Thanks and keep up the good work 💪🏼
very interesting stuff but ...how come it's the exact opposite with cats? when you watch a cat follow a laser light, it's their entire head that moves, the eyes are absolutely fixed in the centre of the eye socket ...so where's the "eye/head coupling" there?
Well, humans aren't predators like cats who lie hidden and jump at prey. A cat will spend much time looking around without the slightest intent to move following the gaze but humans turn towards whatever draws their attention.
@@Tokinjester I said „predators _like cats“._ There are different kinds of predators, which naturally move differently. Cats are not the type of predator we are. Cats do not read traces on the ground, following prey over miles. Cats are not endurance runners; maybe not even runners at all because a cat's dashes are pretty short and more of a series of leaps aimed at a spot (or away from one).
Do you reckon a game like OSU! would help with eye training? I think it is quite fun and could make it more enjoyable than the video you showed for eye tracking.
I’m interested that you notice that! I have soft Rs sometimes and I’m only able to roll them next to consonants. I guess I just enjoy indulging that sometimes!
Sorry bioneer you made 1 mistake lad You can 100 prevent reverse nearsightedness or myopia with eye exercises as the muscles relax the eye becomes more ball shaped and the you can see better at distance
I feel like medical science hasn't really figured out 100% how the eye adapts and changes to stimulus. They recently just figured out "Whoops, glasses actually accelerate myopia! Sorry! Here's a new set of glasses!" I spend $1500/year for myopia control contacts and glasses for my kids since I don't want them having the same shit eye sight I have
Nonsense, they help a great deal. If i had not put on my glasses at home and contact lenses outside I would have been half-blind already.

And next time when you are talking about science provide meta-analysis, not this pseudoscientific BS.
the reason why i see 3 overlapped moons is because all miopic our eyes has grown more than our skull, and since there is no room enought the eyeballs are deformed, like when you step on a balloon. no exercise will fix the difference of growth. if you knew how to shrink the eyes or make bigger only the bones, then go ahead. other than that is promise of a pie in the sky, and it's actually a job, like reiki and tarot. that type of coach job, eye trainers. you must know academia is not trust anymore, it has been made up all this time, and now it's even worst, scientific backup my as

We already have videos of those
Just when I thought he had covered every single training method, he drops a video on how to workout your eyes...
I love this dude
"True exercise doesn’t just build muscle, it develops every aspect of the body to work as a single elegant machine." So true.
Imagine someone staring at you and they finally break the silence to say your eyes are jacked. 😂
"So, let me open your eyes." What a great segway in the intro, superb writing. Looking forward to this series.

A friend of mine just told me they're having problems with their vision and I see this pop up on my notifications.
Absolutely diabolical timing 😂
