Suppressed by the Self... That phrase... I'm sure I've heard it somewhere, in a certain context... It talks about so many things, yet, it is often misunderstood... Yours is a great approach...

Sincerely, great job...

Sayonara...

I guess it is possible... After all, music is an "attention magnet", as well as a relaxing and focusing agent... But, not all music does this, and not all music does it in the same manner... Most of them exploit the usage of the senses to achieve the result expected by the artist, which is normally to feel what he or she felt... Some of them, particularly instrumental or classical music, use this principle quite effectively, and, in my opinion, are the best possible options...

On the other hand, if the main issue is the focus, you should "focus" on your focus... Start practicing focus enhancing techniques like focusing on a spot for as long as you can without thinking about anything else or gazing at the clouds doing the same... Most techniques work this way: concentrate your attention on a single, easy to perform task, and allow yourself not to think on anything else... This helps your focus and will start allowing you to last longer without wandering about again, which is quite useful when the objective is to focus only on a single task and ignore all the rest...

Hope this helps ya...

In my opinion (and somewhat based upon my personal experiences), excessive effort does the same good as not trying it at all... Every time I tried to force my exit, it failed, no matter how much I kept on trying... But, if I forgot about my attempt, and allowed me to wander through my thoughts and/or dreams, without any actual, excessive effort, I could begin wandering about...

I guess the nature of some of our attempts is mere ritual, and has no effect in our progress, just as you just said... Maybe it is that the practice itself is so simple it somehow escapes our expectations, 'cause we relate the fact with a difficulty level which possibly is not related at all...

Be it so, the "whys" are still unanswered questions... Why is it so simple for some and so difficult for others...? Does it have to do with our personal appreciation or personal reality...? Probably, it does..; who knows...? Anyway, I think I'm now wandering too much around the thought (common issue...)

Sayonara...

Yeah, I've heard so a couple of times... But, I guess I'm like a "cultural hybrid" in a sense, a weird mixture of many things, joined together by possibly the most unexpected way of 'em all...

Thanks for receiving me here... Read ya later...

Sayonara...

Konichiwa...

My name is Yuki... I've been practicing various psionic skills for some years now, and although my time has been relatively short, my history in psionics is somewhat extensive... I'm a natural when it comes to temperature control, and I've been able to develop other skills like telepathy, dowsing, and, quite recently, astral projection...

Currently, what I wish to achieve is to perfect the astral projection... The world I've witnessed by this means is quite wonderful and colorful, far more than what I've seen on this earth... I seek to understand it, avoiding any kind of millennial, now-forgotten ritual, but search for further answers in this every day more wonderful place... After all, a logical mind is no obstacle for a creative and passionate heart in pursue for truth...

Anyway, and before I start wandering in my thoughts once again, let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet y'all and wish to read ya in the near future...
