Concentration and Composure -- The Need of The Hour

Man's mind by nature is quite volatile and fickle. It is through

arduous training, that mind can be controlled. According to
recent research done by psychologists and psychoanalysts, an
average man thinks approximately 60,000 thoughts a day. So
naturally maintaining focus is quite a Herculean task, which
only the strongest of men can do!
Man's entire success and excellence depends upon the quality
of his focus. Have you ever seen a gymnast doing acrobatic
stunts on a thin wooden beam? How does he do it? All through
focus! He is so much engrossed in executing the body mind
coordination to perform the feats. Similarly, all the great
performers exhibit great focus. Now the crucial point here is
how to develop this kind of laser focus?
All great achievers in different fields suggest focus of mind
can be perfected through will. Putting the mind under will train
prolonged focus on a particular task. So, word of advice for
those, who want to have complete control over their focus, is
they must watch their focus. That is, while doing an activity,
they should be aware of their focus and the moment focus
wanders or rambles, they must bring it back on the task. One
must keep one's goals always in front of him. This also helps in
keeping the focus. Initially if one's progress is slow; one must
not be disappointed. With perseverance, training, meditation
and breathing exercises, complete control over focus is
possible.
Yoga is another very potent tool to bring your focus and
concentration under your control. In the famous documentary
on mediation ‘Spiritual Reality: Journey Within’, many benefits
of yoga have been enumerated upon. The documentary reveals
how yoga replenishes and rejuvenates a yogi physically,
mentally, and spiritually. In the state of perfect yoga, one
receives abundant cosmic energy, which heals, energizes,
rejuvenates each and every cell, nerve, and organ of the
physical, mental and spiritual body of a man. It cleanses the
body of all the ills and toxins that might develop into some
fatal ailments.
Yoga has become quite popular in the entire world, especially
in the western countries because of its wholesomeness. We
must practice it for a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
