Non-Visual Fractal Viewing

Trade tunnel vision for panorama.

◦ The Science

Sustained near-focus on a screen collapses peripheral vision and elevates cortisol. Looking at the mid-frequency fractals of foliage (D ≈ 1.3–1.5) measurably reduces stress markers in EEG within 60 seconds.

◦ How to Practice

Every 90 minutes, turn from the screen and rest your eyes on a tree, a plant, or the sky for one full minute. Soften the gaze; let peripheral vision return.

A pine forest at dawn, soft mist drifting between trunks.
