Concentration Power

Although mindfulness meditation was imported from Asia in Western countries decades ago, has enjoyed a remarkable degree of success here. At that time, acquired the status of integration in a number of different places, including psychology, medicine, education and business, to name a few.

Based training in consciousness is intended to convey three key mental skills for students, all of which are bought by so-called "formal practice." In general, this practice is carried out in a very quiet and straight drives sit in a relaxed position with the spine, eyes closed. The workouts last from 10-45 minutes. Serious students are also involved in "retreat" that last from several days to several weeks.

These recalls often result in "noble silence", ie students do not communicate verbally with each other along the length of retirement. Usually engaged in intensive training for up to ten hours or more per day. In this article I will make a short overview of the power of concentration, the first and most fundamental of these three basic skills of mindfulness.

Can be defined simply as the ability to respond selectively and provided as deemed appropriate at some point. The acquisition of this skill is actually a prerequisite for a high performance level in most areas of life that demands the presence of the whole. Examples are music, dance, sports, and many other professions.

Stand-by Power Focus Mindfulness development is very similar to polishing a lens of the microscope, which is then used to observe carefully and consistently, all the every-changing their sensory experiences, both from the outside world and inner world of mind. Centralization of power is a prerequisite for the development of another skill, clarity of meaning. The same goes for your peace of mind in the developing world.

I will focus on the two new skills individually in separate articles. You can also obtain detailed information about them on my blog. (See below). Concentration of power, alone, has several unique advantages. Jointly contribute to peak performance in many highly demanding professions and occupations, can be applied effectively to cope with the pain and also to increase the level of performance or satisfaction when engaging in activities intrinsically enjoyable.

In his impressive work in the field of "positive psychology, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has shown that the high level of concentration is the essence of what he calls" flow ". He found that, with contributing to the high level of performance is the flow equally rewarding or satisfying in itself and offers a powerful way to avoid boredom, even when performing simple tasks and repetitive that most people consider be very monotonous.
