Nitin was gifted a wrist watch by his father. He was
looking the watch for more than 3 minuets, that was observed by
his father, and he asked the time. Rakesh again looked the watch
& then, he told the time.
One day Sumukh was asked by his mother to bring 6
types of cereals, 5 kinds of fruits and cooking colours.
After buying some cereals he called his mom. Till
finishing the purchase he called his mother atelast 5
times.

Sumukh introduced his friend Karthik to Rakesh, telling
This is Karthik, My friend. At the end of the conversation
Rakesh asks Karthik, May I know your name?

This is not only the problem of Sumukh or Rakesh. Even weve
also faced the similar situations and its due to lack of
concentration.

So, now weve to find all the possible ways to strengthen the
ability of concentration. Before that, we shall know whats
concentration & its significance etc.
www.iqladder.com
Concentration?
Concentration means focus of mind. In simple
words concentration is nothing but being alert
and without any diversions in mind.

Concentration also means keeping ones mind
and thoughts on one thing with focused
attention on the same thing/aspect.
www.iqladder.com
Importance of Concentration
Concentration is one of the major tool to achieve
success in any area. Further the significance of
concentration is extended to remembering and
recollecting ability which is nothing but so called
memory. One who has good concentrating ability can
remember and recollect better and faster.

www.iqladder.com
Concentration is also one of the important weapon behind any
successful person.

The significance of Concentration can be described as one
who has concentration, can learn anything and anything learnt
without concentration cannot be retained in mind for a longer
duration.

Concentration & its relation with
Memory
Concentration is needed for a good listening and better
understanding. Listening is nothing but hearing with
concentration, for better understanding. Anything heard/seen
with concentration can be recalled accurately. Its also called
as observation skill, for which concentration is the foundation.
www.iqladder.com
Most of the people will assume that theyve poor memory,
poor recollecting skill etc. In fact it isnt a fact its just an
assumption!

Now a days we can hear a common complaint that one cant so
easily remember names/faces, even other important
information etc.
www.iqladder.com
In the introductory slide also weve seen similar scenario. Here
the fact is theyve not at all heard the name or so called
important information. When, theyve not at all heard the
matter, how can they remember/recollect? Can anyone
remember/recollect anything which he/she hasnt
heard/known? Certainly Not!
www.iqladder.com
When we examine the reason for poor/not listening, the first
answer which we get is, poor attention whichs due to lack of
concentration.

As concentration is the back bone of all other success skills
like memory, observation and listening skills, one should
strengthen his/her power of concentration.

Techniques to Strengthen
Concentration
The art of concentration can also be learnt like any other skill.
To improve the power of concentration, one should follow the
given techniques, as guided and without any
break/interruptions atleast for 5 to 6 months. Infact these
techniques are well tested on candidates from different
academic background and status.
www.iqladder.com

Time: These techniques can be done any time. Preferably
before bed. Because, itll be the tension free time.

Procedure & Posture: Sit in a relaxed and comfortable posture,
where theres no disturbance with minimum light, preferably
green or yellow bed lamp because it has strong cosmic
vibrations towards concentration.

Start to count in ascending & descending orders, like 1 to 100,
158 to 263 etc. Then count in descending order like 100 to 1,
654 to 432 etc. While counting so, close the eyes and visualize
the numbers in green/white/black colour with yellow
background. As yellow is Jupiter's colour and other 3 colours
cosmic vibrating effect will Strengthen ones mind power.


Technique 1
www.iqladder.com
Now, take a comb where you can find, its easy to count the
sticks in the comb. Count the number of sticks. If you find it
difficult or any disturbance, once again start to count from the
beginning.
Caution: While doing this practice in the initial stage there
might be some Head ache, Just ignore and continue. Do this
practice for 3 to 4 times
Technique 2
www.iqladder.com

Now relax for a minute and inhale and exhale. Do this for 4 to 5
times.

Now once again start to count the numbers as guided here.
1, 1 2, 1 2 3, (one, one two, one two three, one two
three four, like that.) Do this up to 100 and then vice versa i.e.
in descending order (hundred.. Ninety nine.. Ninety eight..) like
that.
Technique 3
www.iqladder.com

Note: While performing these techniques always focus only on
numbers. Dont go for chanting Gods name etc. We suggest
not to chant the name of the God in initial stage, because while chanting
Gods name therell be the possibility of diversions in chanting, distractions
etc. Further as its easy to chant Gods name, internal mind will be
repeating the Gods name and external mind will be thinking some thing
else. Of course it doesnt mean chanting, name of the God is less effective.
To do the practice of chanting the Gods name, one should have good
concentration and to strengthen concentration one must practice these
exercise. Most of the meditation/relaxation techniques failed because, in
the beginning itself theyve started the divine chanting. Hence itd be better
to avoid chanting the name of any God in initial stage.
www.iqladder.com
This can be done even before studies. Take a book and select
any chapter in which you arent so familiar. Keep the book in
reverse order and read. Its not so easy and itll automatically
focus the mind to concentrate, consequently no
distractions/diversions. Just read 2 or 3 paragraphs per day and
its more than enough.
Technique 4
Its scientifically proved that, left hand is associated with right
brain. So before starting studies write 8 to 10 lines from your
left hand, so you can easily refresh the right brain, which
results in effective understanding.
Technique 5
www.iqladder.com
www.iqladder.com
This technique, helps to improve ones recollecting ability.
Remember 10 to 12 peoples name. While doing so, close your
eyes and remember their faces with their voice.
Note: There is a universal complaint on forgetting names and
faces. This technique will help a person, not only to remember
names and faces but also their voice. Dont remember the same
faces every day and also avoid remembering film actress or
nude/sexy people, as it perturbs the process of concentration.
Technique 6
www.iqladder.com
Recollect the taste of 2/3 dish with its smell. Dont recollect
the same every day.

or a ball. Observe it properly. Then close your eyes &
examine/visualize the objects as it is and as youve observed.

Conclusion
If one starts to speak on a topic which we like, our mind becomes
concentrated on it. It means one can concentrate upon those
topics/areas which one loves and one love those topics/areas, where
one can concentrate his/her mind. So interest is the foundation of
concentration.
If weve interest we can concentrate,
If we can concentrate we can listen/observe,
If we can listen/observe we can Remember/recollect easily.
