The Art of Concentration Session 2 Rerun: Lesson 2

Hello Everyone

I hope you are enjoying the meditation and you are starting to feel the benefits that come from continuity of practice. This week I’m sharing some more in depth commentary on the meditation instructions from lesson 1 to really make sure we are clear about why and what I am asking you to do.

Many of the instructions can appear quite simple but when we enter into them we see they are pointing to some really important aspects of how to concentrate properly. As I often mention, there is a way to make consistent progress that is dependent on laying the ground properly. The nuance of how to practice skilfully is subtle but if we can set up our practice well it will save huge amounts of time further down the line.

So for the next few lessons I will draw out the pith of these instructions and hopefully you will find it will deepen your understanding, and also feed back into your meditation. If you do these drills diligently I do think you will find them immensely helpful and start to see incremental yet tangible results.

So here is an audio commentary on the lesson one. Maybe see it as an instructional and meditative discourse, and play it over a few times as you meditate with it. And then, go back to lesson one meditation to see who you have integrated it into your practice.

We will continue with the same meditation for another week but we are delving deeper into the refinement of how to actually do the practice more skilfully.

I hope you enjoy your meditation this week
