The term concentration is often misunderstood by meditators. This video explains what is meant by concentration and gives you a practical method to develop it.
Thanks for the reminder of the slight smile. I had forgotten about that. I am sure I have been frowing instead, coming from an attitude of dissappointment and dissatisfaction. I have heard that if you dont correctly practice the other 7 steps on the 8-fold path, right concentration cant happen, because you will be too distracted, negative, attached and deluded to concentrate in meditation. I think this is the reason that I cant concentrate, and my meditation sessions consist mostly of restless daydreaming and obsessive planning that are arising from regrets of the past, fear of the future and discontentment with the present circumstances. Perhaps you could do a video titled: Is mediation practice valuable, even if you never develop concentration.? Cheers!
Super helpful!
