Concentration exercises

[Lyes]

Hello there

I just need some concentration exercises to meditate more effectively.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx

Hi Lyes,

First off, welcome to the OUR forum~ 

Regarding concentration exercises to meditate, there are a several ways to go. Since I was trained in Zen back in the 90's, I tend to do an approach whereby I 'follow the breath'. This is set forth in a great book by Robert Aitken entitled: Taking the Path of Zen and last I checked, was about $2.29 US dollars used, and new from $5.59. see: http://www.robertaitken.net/ and also the Amazon website.

Also, you can obtain the Abyss download. Try http://www.binauralmindpower.com/  It is very helpful in getting you to a meditative state. You also may want to check http://gnomad.info/


All the best,
Nick

Thank you but I can't get those books. I live in Algeria and it's very difficult to get any specific book at all here.
I'll check the links

Hi Lyes. Adrian's book, Our Ultimate Reality, has a whole section of concentration exercises.

I was going to make a post about Concentration Exercises but one already exist. Its a little dusty but I'll just use this one.

I have been doing Adrian's exercises. As of today I can count backward from 100-0 3 times in a row! I have some daydreaming in there but it isn't heavy enough to distract me & I keep the daydreams short. I bring my attention back to my counting. I am going to make it to 10 times in a row, I promise thyself.

What helps me the most is as I count down I imagine as if I am writing the number on a white bored. I'll write a number 26 for example on the bored, it disappears & then I write number 25. Don't count to fast or to slow, keep it steady.

I hope this helps someone

I think the main problem for some people, including myself, is that when something doesn't interest me in itself, I have to work for concentration. If I'm PASSIONATE about something, then I can do that that 'something' just fine and be totally focussed on it.

Yeah! I hate counting backwards all the time because I have to start all over. Its lame. But it is good to concentrate on something that does not interest you at all. However when using the Law of Attraction you should only think about what you want.
