POWER OF ATTENTION (Consciousness).
Someone once said to me - if you want to understand god, try to understand consciousness.
one of the biggest attributes of consciousness is ATTENTION. We can draw our attention to anything and we become conscious of it, one with it.
listening to music...there are lots of instruments, yet you get drawn by a particular sound, the sounds of the violen, your attention moves to just the violin, all other sounds become dim, you become one with the violin, untill you're attention is drawn else where. For that moment your consciousness/attention is one with the violin.
The attention, when taken to between your eyebrows raises your consciousness to that level...the more you practice this the more you're attention withdraws from the outer world or other areas of your body. This took me a while to master...used to get headaches...but what worked for me was to just relax, imagine yourself floating just behind your eyes. your eyes will naturally look up towards the centre of your eyesbrows but it will reduce any chance of headaches.
At the same time always listening to the sounds and vibration of the words Satnaam and Waheguru...really listening to each sound carefully.
Ego, Desires, Lust etc etc always took my attention away from all of the above with thoughts and images of women flashing into my mind, but a quick shake of the head, a little stretch and i was back into the meditation again. I didnt know this at first but it was myself coming face to face with my subconscious mind...the ugliness in my character.
Again, this worked for me, but others may have found their own useful methods.
God bless all.
