Spiritual Awakening and Staying Focused at Work

Do you want to know how to stay focused at work right now?

Staying focused at work means your attention should be solely on your task — and nowhere else. But if you’re unable to concentrate, it may be because you are experiencing constant internal distractions. You may feel tingling sensations in your head, or notice that your breathing feels shallow, uncentered — as though your entire focus is scattered.

You might be physically present at your workplace, but your mind is not. That sense of being pulled in different directions, unable to be fully rooted in what you’re doing — it often indicates anxiety, stress, or tension. Your nervous system may be operating in a sympathetic mode — the stress response.

To heal this and bring yourself back into focus, begin practicing the following techniques. First, try them at home. Once you’re comfortable, you can easily apply them in your workspace.

Why You’re Struggling to Focus

When your concentration is weak and your attention is drifting, understand that the deeper cause is a lack of prana (life force) and oxygen in your brain. When the brain is under-oxygenated and energetically depleted, it begins to manifest symptoms that mimic neurological imbalances — such as those seen in:

• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar disorder
• Multiple sclerosis
• Alzheimer’s
• Dementia

This doesn’t mean you suffer from these conditions — but energetically, you might be experiencing similar blocks or deficits. These symptoms can show up in subtle ways in your life and work.

That’s why it becomes essential to regulate your pranic flow and restore clarity through the following practice. These steps will help instantly awaken your attention and restore your cognitive balance.

Step 1: Eye Relaxation Through Palming

Let’s begin with the eyes — the primary gateway to your attention system. The first technique is called palming.

How to do it:

1. Sit comfortably.
2. Place your right palm gently over your right eye.
3. Cross your left hand over and place it on your left eye.
4. Allow your palms to form a criss-cross cupping posture over both eyes.
5. Ensure the hands fully cover the eye sockets, creating a soft, warm, dark space.
6. Relax deeply in this position.

Hold this posture for two full minutes.

As you rest your eyes beneath your palms, you’ll begin to feel warmth and softness entering your optic nerves. This gentle darkness and warmth calms the eye muscles, refreshes your visual nerves, and signals your brain to shift into a relaxed, attentive state.

Once complete, gently open your eyes and begin looking across the room. Shift your gaze across different directions — the corners, walls, ceiling, floor — not just your desk or screen. This simple action resets your focal distance and strengthens your visual attention system.

Step 2: Stimulate the Eyebrow Focus Points

Next, we’ll activate specific pressure points at the ends of your eyebrows. These points correspond to energetic channels that support brain focus and relaxation.

How to do it:

1. Using your index fingers, place each fingertip at the outer end of your eyebrows.
2. You will feel a small bony ridge with a depression at each end — this is the key point.
3. Gently lift the skin upward, then press into the depression.
4. Lift and press, again and again, in a rhythm.

Repeat this action 21 times.

This simple stimulation energizes the prefrontal region of your brain — the area responsible for attention, judgment, and clarity. It sharpens your awareness and dissolves mental fog.

Step 3: Release Eye Socket and Facial Tension

Now, let’s remove the fatigue and energetic weight stored around your eyes and face.

How to do it:

1. Use all your fingers to form a soft cup shape with both hands.
2. Gently press along the upper ridge of your eye sockets — the bones just above your eyes.
3. Then move to the lower ridge, beneath your eyes, and press with equal gentleness.
4. Apply slow, circular pressure or just a calm, steady hold with your fingertips.

Now extend this to your entire face:

• Massage your temples slowly.
• Press and release your cheeks, forehead, and jawline.
• Let your hands move naturally, with awareness.

As you do this, you’ll feel a deep release in your face, head, and eye region. The energetic stagnation around your third eye begins to open. Visual fatigue, digital overload, and facial tightness all begin to dissolve.

Step 4: External Kumbhaka — Breath Retention After Exhalation

Now we enter the breath-based part of the practice — using External Kumbhaka to awaken deep internal attention and settle your nervous system.

How to do it:

1. Inhale slowly through your nose. Allow your belly to expand naturally as you breathe in.
2. Exhale slowly through your nose. Let the belly contract fully.
3. After the exhalation, hold your breath.
   Keep your body still and quiet. Your breath is paused in a state of rest.
4. While holding your breath, bring your awareness to the bridge of your nose, or between your eyebrows — the third eye center.

Now repeat this full cycle:

• Inhale
• Exhale
• Hold

Complete 21 rounds of this breathing cycle.

Each round strengthens your pranic body, calms your thoughts, and activates your internal gaze. External Kumbhaka trains your system to remain centered, even without constant movement or breath. It is one of the most potent tools to reset focus, balance your left and right brain, and enter an effortless state of clarity.

Final Integration

When you combine these four techniques, you’re not just restoring your attention — you’re rewiring your entire cognitive and energetic system.

Here’s the full flow:

1. Palming — for visual rest and brain softening
2. Eyebrow point stimulation — for frontal activation
3. Eye socket and face massage — for tension release
4. External Kumbhaka — for pranic integration and inner anchoring

Together, they restore your ability to be fully present.

This is not just a technique for work. It is a spiritual practice in itself — a path back to your own center, your own breath, and your own mind.

Use it any time you feel scattered. Practice it whenever you lose your ground. And allow yourself to return — to stillness, to clarity, to work, and to the present moment.

Have a beautiful, calm, and productive day.
Stay centered. Stay aware.
