Attention Meditation: Narrow Focus

This specific meditation is designed to help you focus your attention on very specific objects: things that are close by, and that you will study in detail. This meditation is useful if you find yourself in a situation where it is hard to energize yourself or get into an action-mode. It is best done in the morning or when you start work or exercise.

This is not a suitable meditation if you want to relax, so don’t do this before you go to bed, or after a hard day of work.
