Do you find it difficult to focus your attention when there are so many things going around you? Attention training has numerous benefits for us and our students. It improves concentration, learning, and the retention of information. It allows one to better control one’s impulses. It calms the body and mind in ways that promote physical and psychological health. Join us this week to learn how attention is not cultivated through force of will, but by repeatedly and gently cultivating opportunities for practice, just like any other skill.
