The Dot. If you want to develop the power of concentration, then here is an exercise you can try. First, wash your face and eyes properly with cold water.
Then make a black dot on the wall at eye level. Stand facing the dot about 10 inches away and concentrate on it.
A few minutes try to feel that when you are breathing in, your breath is actually coming from the dot.
And that the dot is also breathing in, getting its breath from you.
Feel that there are two persons, you and the black dot.
Your breath is coming from the dot and its breath is coming from you.
Ten minutes if your concentration is very powerful, you will feel that your soul has left you and entered into the black dot on the wall.
At this time, try to feel that you and your soul are conversing. Your soul is taking you into the soul's world for realization and you are bringing the soul into the physical world for manifestation.
In this way, you can develop your power of concentration very easily, but this method has to be practiced.
There are many things which are very easy with practice, but just because we do not practice them, we do not get the result.
