Benefit
Very simple exercise, that teaches you to concentrate on the object as much as possible. It’s useful and very effective for the technique of mastering speed reading, because at the expense of maximum concentration in the picture extraneous thoughts disappear and the internal dialogue disappears.
Here I would like to give an analogy. There is such an exercise, the essence of which is reduced to standing for 10 minutes with a perfectly flat back and arms raised perpendicular to the body. At first, this seems to be an easy task, but the problem does not arise when the muscles of the arms begin to strain and get tired, but at the moment when the body gives provocative distracting signals – you want to scratch your nose or back. Our brain, a living organism, also creates such traps and tries to distract from the task of concentration. Try to ignore these “scratching.” To do this, refer to the meditative practices of breathing and stopping the inner dialogue.
Description
There is a picture on the screen that shows either a vase or two facing profiles. Focus on the green contour as much as possible. Think only about it. Switch from the image of the vase to face profiles, but do not be distracted by third-party thoughts.
Felt that thoughts have gone far, and you already make a shopping list for tomorrow? With an effort of will, return to the exercise and start again until you feel that, in addition to the picture, the brain does not perceive any other background information. It is recommended to perform within 10-15 minutes.
Recommendations
Before starting your training, make sure that not only around, but also inside you there is peace. Tune in and gather with the help of meditative techniques – breathe, close your eyes, take a comfortable posture. Discard disturbing thoughts to get the most out of contemplation.
