Step 1: Block Out External Influences

When we concentrate, we do not allow any thought to enter our minds, whether it is divine or undivine, earthly or heavenly, good or bad.

Step 2: Focus The Mind

The mind, the entire mind, has to be focused on a particular object or subject.

Step 3: See Only The Object

If you are concentrating on the petal of a flower, try to feel that only you and the petal exist, that nothing else exists in the entire world but you and the petal.

Step 4: Focus Your Look

You will look neither forward nor backward, upward or inward.

Step 5: Concentrate On The Object

You will just try to pierce the object that you are focusing on with your one-pointed concentration.

Step 6: Concentrate From The Soul

But this concentration is not an aggressive way of looking into a thing or entering into an object. Far from it! This concentration comes directly from the heart, or more precisely, from the soul.

We call it the soul's indomitable Will, or Willpower.

    Good, but I don't understand why they had such a long stretch at the end with the guy just looking like he needs a nap.

    This video is helpful for focusing your thoughts. The focus is beyond the mind it seems. Jim

    Check out J Krishnamurti . Be careful between concentration meditation which can be hypnotic and truely observing completely without falling into a thought.
