colours. After buying some cereals he called his
mom. Till finishing the purchase he was keep on
calling his mother almost 4 times. - Rakesh was gifted a wrist watch by his father.

Introduction Continued
- was observed by his father, and he asked the
time. Rakesh again looked the watch then, he
told the time. - Sumukh introduced his friend Karthik to Rakesh,
telling This is Karthik, My friend. At the
end of the conversation Rakesh asks Karthik, May
I know your name?.
5
Introduction Continued
- This is not only the problem of Sumukh or
Rakesh. Even weve also faced the similar
situations and its due to lack of concentration. - So, now weve to find all the possible ways to
strengthen the ability of concentration. Before
that, we shall know whats concentration its
significance etc.
6
Whats Concentration?
- Concentration means focus of mind. In simple
words concentration is nothing but being alert
and without any diversions in mind. - Concentration also means keeping ones mind and
thoughts on one thing with focused attention on
the same thing/aspect.
7
Importance of Concentration
- Concentration is one of the major tool to achieve
success in any area. Further the significance of
concentration is extended to remembering and
recollecting ability which is nothing but so
called memory. One who has good concentrating
ability can remember and recollect better and
faster.
8
Importance of Concentration Continued
- Concentration is also one of the important weapon
behind any successful person. - The significance of Concentration can be
described as one who has concentration, can
learn anything and anything learnt without
concentration cannot be retained in mind for a
longer duration.
9
Concentration its relation with Memory
- Concentration is needed for a good listening and
better understanding. Listening is nothing but
hearing with concentration, for better
understanding. Anything heard/seen with
concentration can be recalled accurately. Its
also called as observation skill, for which
concentration is the foundation.
10
Concentration its relation with
Memory Continued
- Most of the people will assume that theyve poor
memory, poor recollecting skill etc. In fact it
isnt a fact its just an assumption! - Now a days we can hear a common complaint that
one cant so easily remember names/faces, even
other important information etc.
11
Concentration its relation with
Memory Continued
- In the introductory slide also weve seen similar
scenario. Here the fact is theyve not at all
heard the name or so called important
information. When, theyve not at all heard the
matter, how can they remember/recollect? Can
anyone remember/recollect anything which he/she
hasnt heard/known? Certainly Not!
12
Concentration its relation with
Memory Continued
- When I examined the reason for poor/not
listening, the first answer which I got is, poor
attention whichs due to lack of concentration. - As concentration is the back bone of all other
success skills like memory, observation and
listening skills, one should strengthen his/her
power of concentration.
13
Techniques to Strengthen Concentration
- The art of concentration can also be learnt like
any other skill. To improve the power of
concentration, one should follow the given
techniques, as guided and without any
break/interruptions atleast for 5 to 6 months.
Infact these techniques are well tested on 20 to
22 candidates from different academic background
and status.

- Time These techniques can be done any time.
Preferably before bed. Because, itll be the
tension free time. - Procedure Posture Sit in a relaxed and
comfortable posture, where theres no disturbance
with minimum light, preferably green or yellow
bed lamp because it has strong cosmic vibrations
towards concentration.

- Technique 1 Start to count in ascending
descending orders, like 1 to 100, 158 to 263 etc.
Then count in descending order like 100 to 1, 654
to 432 etc. While counting so, close the eyes and
visualize the numbers in green/white/black colour
with yellow background. As yellow is Jupiter's
colour and other 3 colours cosmic vibrating
effect will

- Strengthen ones mind power.
- Technique 2 Now, take a comb where you can
find, its easy to count the sticks in the comb.
Count the number of sticks. If you find it
difficult or any disturbance, once again start to
count from the beginning. - Caution While doing this practice in the
initial stage there might be some

- Head ache, Just ignore and continue. Do this
practice for 3 to 4 times. - Technique 3 Now relax for a minute and inhale
and exhale. Do this for 4 to 5 times. - Now once again start to count the numbers as
guided here. - 1, 1 2, 1 2 3, (one, one two, one two
three, one two three four, like that.) Do this
up to 100 and then vice versa i.e. in descending
18

d
- order (hundred.. Ninety nine.. Ninety eight..)
like that. - Note While performing these techniques always
focus only on numbers. Dont go for chanting
Gods name etc. Even though Im a theist, I
suggest not to chant the name of the God in
initial stage, because while chanting Gods name
therell be the possibility of diversions in
chanting, distractions etc. Further as its easy
to chant Gods name, internal mind will be
repeating the Gods name and external mind will
be thinking some thing else. Of course it doesnt
mean chanting, name of the God is less effective.
To do the practice of chanting the Gods name,
one should have good concentration and to
strengthen concentration one must practice these
exercise. Most of the meditation/relaxation
techniques failed because, in the beginning
itself theyve started the divine chanting. Hence
itd be better to avoid chanting the name of any
God in initial stage.

- Technique 4 This can be done even before
studies. Take a book and select any chapter in
which you arent so familiar. Keep the book in
reverse order and read. Its not so easy and
itll automatically focus the mind to
concentrate, consequently no distractions/diversio
ns. Just read 2 or 3 paragraphs per day and its
more than enough.

- Technique 5 Its scientifically proved that,
left hand is associated with right brain. So
before starting studies write 8 to 10 lines from
your left hand, so you can easily refresh the
right brain, which results in effective
understanding.

- Technique 6 This technique, helps to improve
ones recollecting ability. - Remember 10 to 12 peoples name. While doing so,
close your eyes and remember their faces with
their voice. - Note There is a universal complaint on
forgetting names and faces. This technique will
help a person, not only to remember names and
faces but also their voice. Dont remember the
same faces every day and also avoid remembering
film actress or nude/sexy people, as it perturbs
the process of concentration.

- Technique 7 Recollect the taste of 2/3 dish with
its smell. Dont recollect the same every day. - Technique 8Select some objects. It may be
anything like book, pen a fruit or a ball.
Observe it properly. Then close your eyes
examine/visualize the objects as it is and as
youve observed.

- Technique 9 This technique is very much helpful
to the students who has the problem in
recollection especially during Examinations. - Sit in a calm place and recollect morning to
night, whatre the things youve done, people you
met, places you visited etc.
24
Conclusion
- If one starts to speak on a topic which we like,
our mind becomes concentrated on it. It means one
can concentrate upon those topics/areas which one
loves and one love those topics/areas, where one
can concentrate his/her mind. So interest is the
foundation of concentration. - If weve interest we can concentrate,
- If we can concentrate we can listen/observe,
- If we can listen/observe we can
- Remember/recollect easily.
25
Conclusion
- One who seriously follows the techniques for 5
to 6 months mentioned in this PPT, can surely
strengthen his/her concentrating ability. - In fact these 9 techniques are, not only
practically oriented but also well tested on
20-25 candidates from different background like
students, junior trainers, marketing HR
executives, house wives etc. - Wish you all the Best by C J Karthik
