LUMITHECA

Concentration & Will / Guided practice

Hold a single point.

Adapted from Annie Besant’s
Thought-Power: Its Control and Culture

A pale-blue seated figure looking at one dark point on an ivory card

The purpose

Practise keeping your attention on one mental image. The task is to notice when your attention has moved elsewhere and bring it back to the same point.

The practice

You’ll look at one dark point on an ivory card, then look away and recall its shape and position. You’ll keep that simple image in mind for a short stretch, returning whenever your attention moves elsewhere. Finally, you’ll release it and return to the room.
