Concentration
After a few days or more of the
meditation exercises the mind and body will be better balanced and open to
letting the psychic elements grow. The body will naturally stay in a
more receptive (psychic) state which increases the minds ability to
concentrate.
Concentration: First, select a simple object, an apple, a toothbrush...
something not greatly detailed. Again, set down in a quiet room by yourself.
Make sure you are comfortable and if needed, start with a few minutes of the breathing/meditation
exercise. Best results will be achieved if the breathing is balanced or
even and the body is in a state of calm.
Next, pick up the object you have selected and look at it in great detail for five minutes.
Examine everything about the item that you
can observe by sight. Then close your eyes and picture the object. Concentrate on
this for a few minutes, try to make its image the only thought
you allow in your head. Then open your eyes and see how close you are to an
accurate image. Repeat this procedure a few times until you feel you have
the image very clear in your mind.
And...at work or play...pick up an item and look at it carefully. Set it down for a few hours then look at it
again...try to get so good at picturing something that you no longer find
anything about the object that you didn't picture. Switch to a different item
when you feel you are doing well at picturing something
accurately.
The purpose of this exercise is to train the mind to be able to focus
on ONE item or image as clearly as possible. This will improve
concentration...which improves the ability to visualize.
At this point continue doing the breathing/meditation
exercises twice per day. Once while counting the ten counts like before, but make the second
time for doing the concentration exercises. Try to "subconsciously" keep the breathing balanced, in
and out, without thinking about it as you concentrate on
your item. Practice this step for at least two days or more before moving to
the next step.
