This meditation doesn't coerce the mind into any particular state but encourages natural attention to internal cues. Remarkably, this simple practice can significantly improve one's ability to focus and may reduce 'attentional blinks', enhancing attention consistency. It's beneficial for both children and adults and can be a powerful tool to rewire the brain's attentional circuitry even after just one session 1.
