The Art of Concentration Session 2 Rerun: Lesson 7

 

 

Hello Everyone

This week on request we are giving you time to review what we have done so far as I know there has been a lot of material to process and practice over the past 6 weeks.

From here we will be slowing down the pace to give you more time to deepen into your practice and actually let your concentration deepen, but before we go any further I would suggest you spend the coming week reviewing what we have done so far, spending one day on each of the previous lessons to review and go over all the aspects we have covered to help you build your foundation in concentration.

All of these steps are key to developing right concentration and in time they should become well established habit patterns that mark the preparatory work to deepening your sustained concentration and serenity from here on. This will get simpler as your ability to reliably approach absorption matures.

As always remember to enjoy your meditation. It should hopefully start to feel more like a pleasure and less like hard work.

with much metta
