The first
secret is to be able to gently pull your mind back to the object of
concentration. It is the nature of the mind to drift. We must learn to
consciously and gently pull the mind back. Last week we focused on happiness.
Let’s sit for a moment and focus on being happy. Close your eyes and focus on
what make you feel happy. Take a few breathes and enjoy the moment.
The second
secret to concentration is the ability to hold your mind to the object without
adding details. Remove the details of what makes you happy and just focus on
happiness. You will notice that as you begin to experience happiness the mind
will wander and you will begin to fill in details about the place, person and
things that make you happy. Try to hold your mind onto pure happiness. Be happy
independent of anything. We are attempting to isolate happiness from everything
else in the universe so that we can experience pure happiness. We are
attempting to separate our consciousness from the matrixes of life and gain
insight into our consciousness for it is in consciousness that we have the
opportunity to truly know happiness. It is not outside of you. It is found
within.
Don’t worry
if you struggle with this. Just gently bring the mind back to the moment and
know that with practice and dedication you will soon discover the secret to
happiness.
