The Power of Attention
Meditate with IGG Sanju to Learn the Power of Your Attention
Introduction: What Is the Power of Attention?
What is the power of attention? How can you conserve it, maximize your energy, and implement it in the way you truly desire?
The power of attention is the ability to retain within yourself all the energies you hold as consciousness, rooted at the very center of your existence. This power is your personal power. The power of attention is the weapon with which you can rule your life, directing and applying it into different areas in the way you choose.
Your attention is precious. When it is conserved, it becomes a force that allows you to live consciously and powerfully. When it is scattered, you feel drained, lost, and powerless.
How Your Attention Gets Depleted
To understand the power of attention, let us look at day-to-day situations where this energy gets drained.
For example: you sit down at your laptop to work. Suddenly, notifications from social media pop up, pulling your attention. Your mind immediately shifts to them. Over time, these notifications change your neural pathways in such a way that you feel they are more important than your assigned work.
You get distracted. You begin scrolling through posts, videos, and stories that have no end. Hours pass, your energy is exhausted, and your work is left unattended. Later, you rush to complete your responsibilities in a state of pressure and fatigue.
This is how your valuable energy leaks out. You lose it in unwanted activities, and when the time comes for your real responsibilities, nothing is left.
The Law of Energy: Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows
Here we must understand a great law of nature: where attention goes, energy flows, and it grows.
Imagine this carefully. Attention starts at point A, the center of your being. When you place attention on something outside yourself, point B, your energy flows like an arrow from A to B. Point A becomes depleted, and point B becomes more powerful.
When you continually give your attention to posts, videos, or gossip, point B grows stronger and hungrier. It now demands more of your attention. Why? Because your energy has become its fuel.
This is how the unconscious mind is fed. When the energy at the center of your being is lost, the mind becomes the dominant personality in you. It begins to drive you, based on its habits and structure, leaving you disconnected from your true center.
Examples from Daily Life
Think of when you are studying or working with concentration. Suddenly, a neighbor plays music or someone outside speaks loudly. Your attention is pulled away. After a while, you lose interest in your study or work.
Why? Because you gave away your power of attention. You fed point B.
Attention works like a parasite. Parasites feed on the host body, slowly draining it of food and life until they eventually kill it. Likewise, when you continually give attention to external objects, they feed on your energy, robbing you of your individuality, your power, and your identity.
Retaining the Power of Attention
How do you prevent this? By practicing to keep your attention with yourself.
Whenever you feel distracted, whenever someone or something tries to pull your attention away, do not attend to it. Keep your energy within. At first, this feels difficult, because your conditioning has taught you that focusing on yourself is selfish.
But this is not the truth. You were born independent, with a unique purpose to fulfill. Just as every other individual has their own function, you too must carry yours. Retaining your attention means you respect your own existence and your personal power.
Consequences of Lost Attention
If you continue giving away your attention, one day you will feel like a beggar. Your energy will be so divided among countless objects that nothing remains in your own center.
At that point, you will try to replenish energy through outer means—addictions, substances, or compulsive behaviors. Smoking, drinking, drugs, gossip, excessive socializing, unnecessary spending—all arise from the unconscious attempt to fill the emptiness created by lost attention.
These addictions are not the problem itself; they are symptoms. The real issue is that you lost the power of your attention.
Meditation: Experiencing the Power of Attention
Let us practice together a simple meditation to feel this power directly.
- Sit in a comfortable position, spine straight.
- Close your eyes gently.
- Bring awareness to the center of your being, the space behind your forehead, deep within. Feel this as point A, the source of your attention.
- Notice how your mind wants to wander to noises, sensations, or thoughts. Do not give your energy to them. Let them pass like a fly buzzing nearby—if you do not attend to it, it leaves on its own.
- Each time your attention tries to escape, gently bring it back to your center. Feel the strength of keeping your energy within.
With practice, this inner attention becomes unshakable. You begin to grow more conscious, more powerful, more complete.
Living with Focused Attention
When you master your attention, you stop being a victim of external distractions. You stop feeding parasites. Instead, you conserve your energy and direct it consciously into your work, relationships, health, and growth.
This is how you rise as a powerful human being. Your career grows, your wealth grows, your spiritual life blossoms—because you are no longer wasting energy.
Final Words
The power of attention is the foundation of your energy, your consciousness, and your destiny. Where you put it determines what grows in your life. If you scatter it outward, you weaken yourself. If you keep it within and use it wisely, you become unstoppable.
