Dancing On The Cingulate: Focus

In this guided meditation, the listener will be led in a unique practice of shifting focus between the third eye and the back of the brain, creating the sensation of "dancing on the cingulate" which is the center line of the brain. This is a great practice for improving focus and cognitive flexibility.

Transcript

To begin,

Notice the body.

Tune in to any areas of excess tension and gently invite those areas to relax just a little bit more.

If you haven't already,

You might allow the eyes to close for an internal focus.

Sinking the weight of the body into the floor or the chair,

Allowing it to support you fully.

And tuning in to the breath,

Allowing the breathing to be soft,

Easy,

Gentle,

And natural.

Now,

For this meditation,

We'll tune our focus to the middle of the forehead,

To the third eye.

When you place your attention on the third eye,

You may notice a shift in the eyes.

They often shift inward slightly.

Be careful not to over-focus or push the attention too hard.

This should be a gentle,

Easy attention,

But single-pointed.

Try holding the attention on the third eye for about 30 seconds.

Now,

Let that go and allow the mind to wander freely without any instructions or any particular focus.

Allow the eyes to relax.

They may shift slightly out to the side or up.

Notice the activation in the back of the head.

Try this for about 30 seconds.

For the remainder of this practice,

We will alternate between these two aspects of attention.

Each time I ring the bell,

We will shift our mode of attention.

The attention to the front,

To the third eye.

Now,

If you look at the front of my head,

You see that this is Antonio B texto.

Allow the mind to wander and shift the energy to the back of the brain.

Sounds of Evening Shift the attention to the third eye.

Shift the energy forward.

Shift the attention to the third eye.

Allow the attention to wander,

To be relaxed.

Shift the energy to the back of the head.

Now for the remainder of this meditation,

Now for the remainder of this meditation,

The bells will be silent and you can simply observe this process happening naturally.

Allow the attention to relax.

Take these last few moments to tune in,

Noticing what's happening in the mind,

The body,

The breath.

Allowing the practice to settle in.

Considering any insights or observations.

And when you're ready,

Opening the eyes.

Now close your eyes.

Now close your eyes.

Now close your eyes.

Now close your eyes.

Interesting and intriguing feeling

Very interesting practice, I enjoyed a lot, thank you

I do this all the time now....waiting for the bus, in the shower, I love this.

Thank you! This is phenomenal and my headache is gone!!

Love it! Thank you 🙏🏻

This is so strange a couple months ago I got the idea to move my attention from the front my head to the back of my head because I was trying to focus my attention on the pituitary gland as it was hard to find

Very, very interesting and worthwhile. I feel, after doing this exercise, a lighter, cleaner clarity in my mind. Could this be? What a gift🎇

Thank you so much for this meditation!

I really enjoyed this. Thank you! 💕

Very Interesting Thank you 🙏💚

An excellent practice that helped focus attention in different ways as a means to limit how the mind wanders and subsequently to allow it to wander. It reminded me of how strength training works through tensing and relaxing a muscle. Great narration and soothing background music too.

Thank you, this was excellent. It’s Incredible how the focus shifted automatically when the bell was gone.

Short and powerful. Thank you.

This meditation practice was unique. I was very focused and relaxed during the practice enoying it very much.
