The topic of Attention,Concentration, Mindfullness

[Rafael Thundercat]

These days I am listening to the whole series of Jonh Vernaeke about the Crise o Meaning, where he lecture from Pytagoras, Sócrates,Aristotales,Plato and so he reach in the episode below where he talk about Gautma Siddharta and he leaving the palace ( indulgence, Having mode) to his path.. so Jonh as Vipassana pratictioner point out the topic of Attention and he pells the onion about it in a particular way that I never heard anybody talking about. 

For me particularly both in daily live meditation and when I participate in Medicine Plant retreats I notice how hard is to sit undistracted and have the mind not to lose not to tigth. Mainly in the retreats because if you ever go to a Ayahusca circle I tell you, good look trying to be with your eyes closed and dont let anything distract you from the insigths you are recieving. Is a challenge that with time I had learn to appreciate, and when is too much I just leave the room to be alone. 

Is not new for us that the big thing both online and offline is that attention is not a valuable coin these days, people are givin it for free. So summarizing, below I share the videos related to this. Better watchign the whole series, but this one and the next one helped me to realize some pratical stuff for me to apply in my practice. Hope you guys like. Is not, you always can ignore and follow your way.
