Welcome to this guided session to strengthen your focusing abilities.
Everyone can benefit from the power of focused concentration.
It helps us achieve our goals and strive towards excellence.
So begin by making sure you are in a very relaxed position.
Somewhere you can comfortably ignore the outside world around you.
Ensure there are no distractions for the duration of this session.
And begin to take long and slow breaths in.
As you breathe out,
Let your muscles loosen and let go of any strain or tension.
Breathe in slowly,
Relaxing.
And breathe out,
And letting yourself melt into the surface that is supporting you.
Take another deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Allow your eyes to gently close if you have not already.
Let's begin by focusing all of your attention on your nose.
Breathing in through the nose.
Notice the temperature of the air as it passes through and down into your lungs.
Begin focusing on the nose,
Breathing in and out at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.
Good.
Now bring your awareness to your forehead and imagine that you can let any wrinkles and stress melt away by putting your focus here.
Now,
Tune your focus to the space between your eyebrows and about a finger's width above them.
This is called your third eye and is the place of creative formulation.
Maintain your concentration on the third eye and breathe in and out.
If you notice your thoughts drift to something else,
It's okay.
It is the nature of the mind to wander.
It is your job to keep it focused.
As soon as you notice,
You've stopped focusing on this area in between your eyebrows.
Simply return your awareness here,
Noticing any sensations that may be happening.
As you are tuned in on this area where imagination takes place,
Begin to remember your day today,
The things that happened,
What you were doing this morning,
And where did you go after that.
Focus on the details of your day,
Such as hearing the sounds of the world around you and the conversations that took place.
Can you even feel the temperature that the weather brought today?
Simply concentrating on every memory that passes through your mind.
Let's switch our focus to the visual of yourself being in the zone,
Doing something you love to do.
Perhaps it's an activity where you move your body,
Such as hiking or exercising.
Maybe what gets you in the zone is your work or helping others.
Whatever makes you feel like you've lost track of time or that time doesn't even exist.
See yourself doing these things now that deserve your full attention.
What is it that you like to naturally focus on?
What do you enjoy to do that pulls the time away from the equation?
Making for an experience of full immersion into what you are doing.
Wonderful.
Now,
Take the quality of this focus that you give to things that you love to do and apply it to the things that you need to do,
Even if you don't like to do them.
This is the power of focused concentration.
Thinking of the breath again,
Inhale deeply,
Expanding your lungs as much as you can.
Focusing on the oxygen being delivered to your system.
Without feeling your body slowly contract as the air escapes.
Notice how relaxed you are right now.
Return your awareness to the third eye and notice any sensations you are experiencing You have a deep understanding that determination is the key to success in all areas that you seek it.
Having determination daily is a form of powerful focus.
Each night before bed,
In order to enhance your concentration tomorrow,
Plan out simple things the night before,
Such as what you will wear so that you do not get sidetracked from focusing on the things you need to do.
Know that removing distractions is an essential part of focused concentration,
So it is something that must be taken very seriously.
Any distractions that could cause you to sway from what you need to do must be eliminated when you are doing your task at hand.
Another very important part to increase your focusing abilities is that when you feel your energy begin to fade,
Understand that it is a sign that you need to take a break and do something unrelated to your point of focus.
This allows the mind to sharpen and the body to regenerate.
Make a routine of taking healthy breaks throughout the day.
This makes for the power of your concentration to be at its highest when you are working Wonderful.
At any point you lose focus,
Ask yourself why you are focusing on this particular thing.
What is the ultimate goal of your laser of awareness?
Remind yourself why it is important to keep your concentration.
To know why you are doing it is what keeps you motivated to focus.
Now hear yourself saying,
I am proud to be achieving my goals through the power of focused concentration.
Good.
Now let your focus begin returning to your current surroundings,
Breathing in fresh air and a new understanding of your ability to focus on what you truly want to achieve.
Wiggle your fingers or toes to orient yourself back to the present moment and whenever you are ready,
Open your eyes.
