Enhancing, Focus Concentration and Sensory Perception
Any human function, be it physical or psychological, atrophies when it is not used. In the same way a muscles atrophies when it is not used, so too does the muscle of the mind and its psychological capacities. These exercises will help you to focus scattered energies, enhance basic psychological skills like concentration and focus, and at the same time will help to increase your sensory capacity. This is a 34 minute process and is best done 3 – 5 times per week. Make it a part of your daily practice for 6 weeks and notice the increase in not only your ability to focus and concentrate – both imperative for meditation practice – but also the heightened sensitivity in your sense perceptions.
Even if it feels as if you are doing very little, you are training the imagination and enhancing your sensory perception. This helps strengthen the psychological muscle of the mind. In this way you increase your focus and concentration. These are vital skills in your developmental process. At first images, sounds, tastes, movements and the feel of objects may not be very clear or they may come and go… this is fine, this is just indication that you need to keep practicing and the clarity, the concentration and the focus will come. With continued practice you will notice distinct changes in how your mind works, your ability to recall detail will improve, you will concentrate more easily and you’ll experience a greater complexity in the optimal functioning of your mind. In this way your witnessing capacity increases and your ability for transpersonal perspectives will manifest.
