Exploring the range of awareness by focusing our mind on a single object of concentration. When we try to concentrate on a single thing, most of us find that our minds are easily distracted. This exercise strengthens our ability to concentrate. This ability only becomes stronger if we keep returning to our chosen focus. What would happen if you tried this practice for a few days? What would you notice? Would it become easier to focus?
