Massage Makers' BlogConcentration
What is it...really?
When we sit in concentration, we are focusing on one thing, while excluding all others. This one-pointed focus could be on a mantra or single sound, or the breath, on a specific object in our awareness, or whatever clears our mind of all the extraneous thoughts that cloud our thinking and prevent us from being in the present moment. Have you noticed that when you're reading a riveting book, absorbed in a compelling movie, or involved in an interesting discussion, time seem to fly without your awareness of the fleeting moments? This is concentration, even without the intention to focus."
So what are you focusing on? Something positive? Something negative. Where are you investing your awareness?
