The Three Powers of Concentration
1)  Knowing
By concentration on anything whatsoever, we are able to know that thing.
2)  Acquiring

By concentration, the whole will can be gathered up for the acquisition of any object whatsoever.

3)  Becoming

By concentration of our whole being on one state or one status of itself, we can become whatever we choose.

Practice tips

Did you practice tratak we shared in the previous newsletter? It is not enough to practice it once, practice it repeatedly. Your power of concentration will grow steadily like a muscle, the more you repeat the practice.

It is not so much the duration in one sitting that matters more, but how frequently you practice. Let the duration be short, but practice more frequently. Repetition builds up the power of concentration quietly and steadily.
