How to Concentrate better? How to focus better? These are some of the questions which each one of us has to go through some time or the other. Whether it is a student trying to study for his upcoming exams while a song from one of the latest hits plays along. Or a businessman trying to resolve a business issue while still remembering the argument he had with his wife. Or a judge while deciding a case of a young man who strikes a great resemblance with his own son.
When we concentrate better, all the distractions dissolve, and the solutions and answers simply emerge before us. Hence, leading us to greater opportunities and successes. Hence, the practitioners of yoga are masters of concentration as well. God, after all, cannot be remembered with a cluttered, unfocused mind. Here comes the role of a deep breath and the way we exhale and inhale. For meditation, yoga masters always underline the need to observe our breath while we exhale and inhale as the first step towards concentration. The technique of watching the breath is one of the best forms of learning concentration, as it is one of the most natural focal points for attention. The more deeply one concentrates on it, the more refined it becomes until breathing is automatically and effortlessly suspended in breathlessness: the Meditator; the act of concentration, and the object of concentration, become one.
