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.
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.
The third
secret to concentration is the mode of return.
Let’s close our eyes and focus on happiness. What makes you happy?
Observe the mind wander and fill in the details. Now gently bring the mind back
to the object of concentration; the feeling of pure happiness. Sit for a moment
and feel happiness. Don’t be concerned if the mind begins to fill in details. It
is the nature of the mind to wander. If we follow the details gently and then
bring the mind back to the experience of pure happiness we have completed the
cycle known as the mode of return. We have learned how to gently bring the mind
back and experience happiness independent of anything.
