Better concentration through meditation
-
Meditation has become quite common since the end of the 20th century. People stop looking up when even top business executives say they take time to meditate. It has become commonplace. What often remains an item for the person who has not or hardly had to do with it, is what meditation yields. While this can be different for everyone, there are also general themes. Concentration through meditation is one such and one that we can put to good use in a hectic Western society.
What's the gist?
-
No matter what you practice meditation for, what it always contributes to is attention. Concentration provides a basis for your focus on all aspects of life, both in reality and in the mind. It also contributes to calming the mind and body.
Why makes sense?
-
The essence may sound simplistic, but for many people, their attention becomes so fragmented. This has to do with, for example, being (must) be available continuously, (must) follow the news and its consequences and / or have an opinion about it. A not unimportant aspect is also thinking that you can (must) be able and do everything.

Meditation moment for (more) concentration
-
Preparation There are some things you can do to get through an exercise comfortably. Nothing should be distracting, so pay attention to the following:
Afterwards
-
When you are done, at least if it feels like it, you sit still for a while. Slowly come back into the here and now. Only when you feel that you are "ready" do you get up and pick up the daily thread of life again.
How to proceed?
-
Meditation never hurts, but use it well. Some people swear to start the day with a moment of meditation. It gives them peace of mind to start a busy day. But the other gets energy from it. Someone else would rather end the day with a moment of meditation. However, there are also people who use meditation when they feel hyper, for example. They can then no longer calm down on their own and a moment of meditation in which they have to force themselves to come to that moment of rest can possibly work.

Next step: insight
-
Another form of meditation is to gain insight into certain matters. You then follow the same procedure, but instead of looking up the concentration, you just "look at" everything that comes into your field of observation. You "view" everything from a calm and neutral attitude. You do not form an opinion or draw any conclusions from it. You observe a lot in this way, without subsequently doing anything concrete with it.
Finally
-
Meditation has long since disappeared from the "hocus pocus corner" and is generally accepted. But that doesn't make it any easier to get started. It is not in the nature of Western man, so you have to add it to it and make it part of your life. Even though this may happen in fits and starts.
