It’s great that I can get so many fab ideas for articles from the blogs of others….Thank you!
This week,in Keri Reagan‘s blog on juggling I was reminded of the usefulness of peripheral vision. This technique can increase your impact by helping you become calm and in a state of balanced readiness –poised to make an impact!
Through expanding your visual field from fovial (focussed) vision to peripheral vision you can enter a state variously called the learning state,trainer state,stop the world state or “in the zone”. Whilst there are some finer distinctions,they are all a form of light trance. And (as I’ve mentioned before) the brain is wired in such a way that negative emotions will disappear whilst you’re in such a trance –so you feel relaxed,calm and balanced inside. Now in peripheral vision you will also be aware of all that’s going on around you –you are in a state of relaxed alertness –poised for action…
So how do you get into this state?
I’ll lead you through the process in tomorrow’s blog…!
In the meantime,if you like juggling take a look at this –this guy is definitely using peripheral vision and is in the zone!
Can’t wait to be Poised for Action.

Hi Martin,
providing the example from juggling and I grasp what you mean. It’s not that we are staring at our peripheral vision,it is that increased awareness. VISION is so related.
Highly impactful indeed!

We can also use our peripheral vision to match and mirror someone without their knowledge,building rapport.

I think Jon Udry would do well in the Kevin Hogan e-marketing class.
I also will be stealing the Russel Conwell poem on smiling. Thanks!

Hey,I’m looking forward to learning about the “learning state”. I first heard of this state from a guy on an audio business series. He didn’t provide any explanation about what he was asking us to do,so I just thought what he had us do was weird. Your explanation of the learning state adds some background info to that “state”,and I’m now highly interested in learning it and doing it correctly.
