Being Present/One Pointed

This workshop will focus on the importance of developing inner concentration and sustained focus on a given task without succumbing to distraction and inattention. Most people suffer from lack of sustained attention or what some have labeled "incompletionitis." It is the disease of not finishing anything we start. Perhaps no disease is more widespread in our contemporary society. Its symptoms are the inability to maintain focus for long periods of time, giving only part of our attention to the task or dwelling on the past excessively. The results of this lack of focus are poor quality work, low productivity and inefficiency. More importantly on the personal level it may result in agitation, lack of inner peace or needless conflicts with others.

Some of the skills which will be developed are:
