Education magic spirit. Stage II

For the visual ability to concentrate the next speaker.

Here from the beginning plays a big role the power of imagination. Now we can not just say, imagine a clock ticking or the like, because, under the concept of "representation" usually refers to a colorful performance that you can not talk about acoustic exercises in concentration. To put it more precisely, we should say: "Imagine that you hear the clock ticking." To be clear, we use the expression: "Imagine that you hear the ticking of clocks." This is for you, too, will initially work out for a few seconds, but with a certain exposure will get better and without disabilities. Then try to "hear" ticking pocket or wrist watches, then the bells of various modulations. You can take other experiments on concentration, such as the submission of bell, the hammer, hammering various rustlings, such as scratching, rustling, peals of thunder and sounds from the quiet before the storm howling wind, noise, waterfall, later the sounds of music from the violin to the piano or other tools.

Important in these exercises is to focus on the acoustic noise and to prevent any visual images. If there any figurative representation, it must be immediately discarded, for example, hearing the sound of the bell, the bell can not represent himself. Exercise is met if the person can in five minutes to keep the acoustic performance.

The next exercise is to focus feelings. Necessary to cause a feeling of cold, heat, heaviness, lightness, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and keep this feeling for as long as the can without any figurative or acoustic presentation to keep this idea for at least five minutes. If you have learned that the ability to concentrate so much so that if you choose to call any sense and keep it, then we can move on to the next exercise.
