Waiting for your help ..........

Welcome to 7 Meditations pupun82,

Is it a daydreaming distraction or a social distraction?

If your daydreaming try a prana exercise, connecting to the earth, or grounding your self. This will probably need some practice, though you will notice the effects pretty quickly, all you should is to ground your self connect with the earth and this should focus the mind.

Tom Kenyons Pranic Tube Meditation.

For those unfamiliar with the pranic tube here is a brief description:
The pranic tube is a subtle energetic-channel that is tube-like and runs from the crown, at the top of the head, through the center of the body and passes through the perineum into the earth. The perineum is a point mid-way between your genitals and your anus.
If you touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your second finger, you will see a circle that is the approximate size of your pranic tube. In some esoteric traditions, the pranic tube is called the Central Pillar or Central Column.
Some lineages of Tibetan Buddhist yogis and yoginis work with a very thin channel, about the size of a human hair, that runs through the center of the pranic tube. This energy pathway is known as the Secret Channel and it is used in certain esoteric yogic practices to affect the subtle energetics within the yogi’s or yogini’s body—the idea being that such practices lead to a quicker unfolding of spiritual illumination or enlightenment.
Generally speaking, the pranic tube runs a few feet into the earth (unless one is really un-grounded) and up above the head a few feet as well. Since the pranic tube is a subtle energetic, it does not follow the laws of Newtonian physics, but instead resides within the constraints of Quantum Mechanics. Thus, it is possible to extend the pranic tube very far into the earth, into the very core of the planet and/or far out into space.
For those readers who find such concepts outlandish, I suggest you read a short article I wrote entitled Thoughts and Observations of the Channel.
If it helps, think of the pranic tube as an imaginary device. Then you don’t have to determine whether such a thing is really possible or not. You can explore the effects of the pranic tube on its own terms.
The pranic tube is affected by thought and intention. All it takes to extend the channel into the earth or into the cosmos is the intention for it to do so. If you are new at this, you may just have a thought that it is happening. As you work with it more, you will eventually have the distinct impression that it extends or contracts according to your intention.
In the method suggested by the Hathors in this planetary message, use of the pranic tube is for those who want to do something in addition to just going into mental resonance with the earth. Some people are resonators and some are activators. Some people are both. Going into resonance with something other than you (i.e. the earth’s core) is essentially an act of passivity. Some people do this well while some people need to do something. For those who want to do something while going into resonance, the pranic tube is an excellent device. So choose the method that works for you.
The important thing—however you do it—is to enter into mental resonance with the core of the earth and if you can manage it, the galactic core as well.

Hope this helps.

Well,the technique u suggested is very complex for me,can you provide me any simple ways???????? Thanks in advance.

Lets do this in stages:

For 5 minutes every morning, I want you to imagine a ball of light in your heart it can be green whit or pink.( you do not need to see) you can feel or just the thought will do as with all steps.

For 5 minutes every night before bed imagine the earth and focus on the earths center and do the same for the earth.

once you get the hang of these join them with a tube of light(pranic Tube) this will help you ground which in turn will help concentration.

Hope this is a bit simpler.

Hi pupun82!

I totally get the problem with concentration. I find it hard too! If Brett's technique is working for you, totally go with that! But I thought I'd put these suggestions in just because they worked for me. And they're all really, really simple.

1) Do minimum 5 really long, slow complete breaths that fill your whole lungs, starting by filling your belly, then your ribs, then your upper lungs.

Then continue this breathing and try to stay aware of your breath WHILE you're studying. This may help to keep you present with what you're doing. It certainly helped me! But it does take some willpower - just make your breath something beautiful that you want to stay with.

2) Pick up a book, stand on one leg and read. This may sound stupid, but it worked for me!

Balancing forces you to stay in the moment, because otherwise you just fall down. I found this useful to help train my mind to stay focussed.

If you want to, you can give yourself the task of reading a full page standing on one leg and tell yourself you're not allowed to stop trying to stand on that leg only until you've finished the page. Then change legs and read the next page.

This may also make your study a little more fun .

Anyway, these are really simple and they worked for me. I'd love to hear how you're going with your progress and what techniques work for you! We're all so different .
