You are listening to a meditation from Sound Science Soul.
In this simple meditation you are working to improve your focus.
This meditation is beneficial and easy for even beginner meditators.
It's based on the science of Dr.
Wendy Suzuki,
Where in their lab they worked with beginner meditators to improve their focus.
Participants who were not regular meditators were split into two groups.
One group meditated for 13 minutes per day.
The other listened to a podcast.
Over a four week period they saw no differences between the two groups,
But after eight weeks the meditators experienced significant improvements in mood and stress levels,
Reduced fatigue,
Had better cognition,
Concentration and focus.
This meditation is also based on the work of neuroscientist Andrew Huberman,
Who explains that by focusing and refocusing your attention with a simple daily exercise like this,
You can substantially increase your focus.
So let's begin.
Sit or lie down comfortably.
If you want to do this on your own going forward,
Make sure to set a timer for about 13 minutes.
But if you are following this meditation,
We'll end at around the 13 minute mark.
It's okay if you go a little longer.
Close your eyes.
Look slightly upward and bring your focus to about an inch behind your forehead.
Begin to focus on your breath.
Ideally you'll focus on either breathing only in and out of the nose or mouth.
But depending on your comfort or ability to breathe in and out of your nose or mouth,
You may need to alternate or breathe out of both.
The important thing is focusing on the breath.
Continue bringing your focus back to your breath and back to the place you are concentrating on inside your forehead.
If you are not an experienced meditator,
And sometimes even if you are,
Your focus will drift.
This exercise increases focus by you strengthening that ability.
So every time you bring your focus back to your breathing and your forehead,
You are improving your ability to focus.
Continuously focus back to that location and the breath.
By doing this exercise,
You strengthen the network within your brain involved in directing mental focus and concentration.
The goal here is to focus and refocus your attention.
We'll sit quietly for about 13 minutes as you work on breathing,
Focusing and refocusing.
When you hear my voice again,
We'll be at the end of our practice.
We'll be at the end of our practice.

Begin to bring your focus back to your whole body,
Your entire environment,
Opening your eyes and lying or sitting for as long as you need.
Use this daily for at least 8 weeks to see results and continue practicing for continued results,
Increasing your focus to create whatever you desire.
