Increasing Concentration - The Sri Chakra Way

One way I read about, in some magazine, to increase concentration power of the brain was by using the Srichakra. The Srichakra is an ancient Indian symbol or design which consists of a concentric series of triangles cumulating in one singular triangle at the center. There are 43 triangles in all.

The Srichakra or the Sriyantra, as it is sometimes reffered to, has a large number of fables and stories weaved around it. To each his Own, I guess. Well, some look at it from a religious perspective others from an artistic.But the fact remains that the Srichakra remains an integral part of Hindu Mythology. It is quite commonplace to find a Srichakra in many Hindu temples. The intricate and complex design of the Srichakra has also been explained in many different ways ranging from the religious to various other aspects.The concept of the Srichakra has been studied by various scholars and philosophers to understand the design, effects and the history behind the yantra.

I have a Srichakra at my home which I obtained from the magazine in which I read about the yantra. The power of concentration can be increased by focussing at the central dot in the Srichakra, which is located in the central triangle of the Srichakra. I was skeptical at first of this exercise but still decided to give it a try and I have to say that it has worked for me quite well. I guess the reason for this is that it is almost impossible to maintain focus on the dot during the first instance, due to the complex geometry of the yantra. At first it was quite difficult to maintain the focus as my eyes would keep moving away to other parts of the yantra.But with constant effort i have been able to progress further. This activity does not need much time as well. I have found that practising this technique 5 minutes a day has helped in improving my concentration.I hope u guys can reap the benefits of this technique as well.

There are other ways of increasing concentration such as meditation, yoga etc. but they can be quite time consuming.Subliminal messages and binaural beats have also been found to provide good results. There are many articles on the internet that relate the apparent power of the Srichakra to various aspects such as the Pyramidal shapes in the figure etc..They all make for a good read and I actually find my intigue growing , the more I read about it.I hope u guys can reap the benefits of this technique as well.Cheers.
