Professional Development Is Revealed Here.
Have You Been Left Behind?

Finally, the truth is being revealed and the time is upon us when society is ready to take the next step in personal and professional development, and beyond.
The question is, have you been let in on this secret?

What is the secret?

Before I tell you, let me say that this secret inner skill has only been kept hidden here in the Western World. The truth is, this secret forms the back-bone of all of the world's great wisdom traditions, east and west, ancient and contemporary.

21 Benefits of Attention Training 

21 Benefits of Attention Training

I have no idea why I chose 21 as the number of benefits of Attention Training to outline here. The truth is, the benefits are countless but I had to stop somewhere. Many of the benefits listed below are immediate. Many benefits overlap and feed off of one another. Some benefits lead to or cause others. Some benefits are the result of long term practice, realized only when Awakened Attention becomes the ground of your existence.

Some of the benefits of Attention Training are the result of a 'positive addition' to your experience, for example - increased contentment. This means an aspect of experience is added to, enhanced, magnified or increased.

Some benefits of Attention Training are the result of a 'negative subtraction' to your experience, for example - diminished habitual activity. This means an aspect of experience is removed, diminished or decreased.

The benefits are listed from the 'practical and immediate', to the 'beyond practical and long term'. The benefits of Attention Training are greatly expanded upon in my new book Waking Up to Life! The Art and Skill of Awakened Attention.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would share your experience with me, especially any benefits that are not listed below. Enjoy!

1. Decreased Mental Activity: When attention is awake via Awakened Attention, mental activity is at a minimum and at times non-existent. This means there is less anxiety producing 'fantasy', less regret producing 'memory', and less stress caused by random negative 'self-talk' and useless commentary produced by the sleeping attention. When attention is asleep, the unkind mind will cause untold suffering.

2. Improved Mental Capacities: When mental activity decreases due to sustained periods of Awakened Attention, there is an increase in clarity, concentration, memory, focus and creativity. This is because the cloud of continuous, white-noise like 'chatter' is lifted.

3. Increased Emotional Stability: When mental activity decreases due to sustained periods of Awakened Attention, emotions settle down and moods stabilize. This is because the body is no longer producing emotions in reaction to unnecessary mental activity (see #1).
