    I think that I addressed your “concentration meditation is focusing harder” and “I’m experienced” (to paraphrase) comments pretty dead on actually.

    Your “people take meds for a reason”…ya, I skipped it as nebulous.

    So don’t give me that silly guff.

    But seriously, do you meditate?

    Do you meditate?

    You could say that you are concentrating harder. You could also say that you are concentrating better, with greater care and understanding. You could also say that the concentration is merely a foil against which the action of awareness becomes clearer.

    I mean, it’s a real thing. Therefore words can only hint at it, it has infinite depths and angles, etc.

    Concentration meditation is hard for everybody.

    If you can do it for 3 seconds straight then you’re doing great.

    So you do it for 2 or 3 seconds, get distracted by your thoughts, notice that you got distracted, return to meditating, and so on.

    And then maybe tomorrow you can do it for 4 seconds.

    You get MUCH better with practice.
