Human traits such as intelligence, memory and concentration are highly sought-after and valued. The brain and nervous systems can be stimulated by yogic techniques to improve concentration and memory, leading to increased intelligence. These techniques were originally designed to help you enter and maintain a state meditation. However, they will improve your memory, mental focus and awareness. These practices can boost your cognitive abilities. They will also strengthen your resolve and willpower to overcome challenges.
What is concentration technique?
Concentration techniques are exercises that improve concentration, increase awareness or boost brainpower. Concentration techniques are designed to help you focus your mind on a single point for an extended period of time. It is not necessary to focus on a specific object. These techniques are designed to help you maintain your focus for as long as possible. Concentration techniques, when practiced regularly, can prevent memory loss, promote clarity of thinking, and encourage everyday mindfulness.
Dharana is the yoga of concentration
Dharana is the sixth limb in yoga. It is a focused state of attention that can be used for asanas, pranayamas, and meditation. Dharana, a Sanskrit term that means “concentration,” is the yoga word that describes practices that train your mind to be clear, focused and single-minded. You can concentrate your mind on something external (such an image or deity), or internal (such a chakra).
Fear and boredom will distract you and cause distractions. Choose your goals and techniques with care for the best results. You will get bored if you practice something too easy. Your mind will also wander if you do. You will feel fear and resistance if you practice something too difficult. Your attention will then shift to something more pleasant and comfortable.
Dharana prepares the mind for dhyana, the next stage of yogic evolution. This is a state of sustained mediation that leads to samadhi, or enlightenment.
