There are
three secrets for controlled thinking or yoga concentration. Concentration is the
ability to hold your mind to an objective and make that objective subjective or
yours. Lets’ say you want to concentrate on happiness. It is objective or
outside of you until you learn how to concentrate on it and make it you. This
takes practice. It matter not how many times your mind wanders away from the
object, what matters is how gently you bring your mind back to the object of
concentration. The nature of the mind is the wander. The first secret is that
no matter how far the mind wanders you gently bring it back. Concentration
begins when the mind of its own volition holds to the object without any departure.
Let’s
concentrate on happiness: Close your eyes and focus on something that makes you
happy. In your mind hold your focus.
Breathe happiness into your being. What does happiness feel like? Sit
with this for a moment.
Happiness -
To me is a feeling of joy and delight, and I find that when I hear the sound of
laughter especially from the ones I love.
Most
recently we had a family party. All of the children and grandchildren and great
grandchildren were there. It was the laughter that made me the happiest.
