Day 6 - The Power of Attention
“Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.” ― Susan Sontag
Today we will learn about the power of our attention and its
role in making our wishes come true. Attention is the conscious flow of
awareness, and it activates the energy of attraction. If our desire is
like a seed, then attention is the movement of nourishment that supports
the growth of the seed into a fully mature plant. Our attention at the
quiet levels of the mind provides direction and strength to our hopes
and desires, so that they can become real.
Our meditation today deepens our attention so that it activates the energy of attraction at the most powerful level of the mind. With continued meditation practice, our attention is able to nourish our desires from inception to fulfillment.

Day 6 - The Power of Attention
Question 1 of 4
Attention
is the nourishment that makes the seed of our intention grow to
fulfillment. But with all the diversions around us, it is easy for our
attention to be distracted. Write down some of the typical ways that you
get distracted from your tasks during the day. How do these
distractions dilute your energy and attention to your task? Day 6 - The Power of Attention
Question 2 of 4
Write
about a situation in which you were faced with a job that required your
full mental focus, and when you were finally able to lock in your
attention, you completed the task successfully and efficiently. This is
the power of attention that manifests desires. Day 6 - The Power of Attention
Question 3 of 4
The
best way to increase your power of attention is through meditation.
Your attention on the subtle sounds of the mantra naturally expands the
range of your attention beyond the superficial layer of the conscious
mind. To support our meditation time, it’s important to limit outside
distractions as much as possible. In your journal, write about
additional ways you can minimize distractions during your meditation.
For example, by turning off all phone and messaging notifications,
moving your pet to another room, or asking your children or partner not
to disturb you while you meditate. Day 6 - The Power of Attention
