 |  Is it possible?
Is it possible to raise concentration through 14 minute meditation per day? With daily meditation I mean years of work, not a week.  I wanna know this because I don't want to spend years practicing wrong techiques.I am asking this because I have been given advice on other techniques of improving concetration, but all of them are a bit of a stretch for me. EDIT: Besides doing daily meditation, I'm also trying to keep being attentive while talking to others, listening music, playing video games and watching TV.

To give you the short answer: Yes, is does. There is a whole list of benefits. It will also improve focus and concentration. What is important is thta you find the kind of meditation that fits you. There are thousands of different meditation techniques. Chose the one you feel most confortable with. For some further info and links to some meditatio n resources, you can check out my What is meditation? article.

  | What's the concentration for? I have a vast amount of spiritual information available to me and yet I'm one of the few here who has never meditated much at all So I offer the idea/perspective that it is not required.. I would think that connecting to the pineal gland or higher mind would maybe be more effective.. in fact I dare say the "quick fix" I keep talking about is far worth more your time then 10 hours or 10,000 hours of meditation.. (though with these accelerating this may be boasting a tad much..)
