Some testimonies from students who took part in the 1st edition of the FOCUS Group:
‘I always associated attention and concentration with intense effort, as something that required a lot of energy and discipline. However, participating in the FOCUS group taught me that, in reality, true concentration has much more to do with presence than with effort. Being fully present in the moment, without rushing or demanding, is the path to deeper, more focused attention. I believe that these teachings will help me not only to improve my attention and concentration, but also to find more balance and calm in my day-to-day life.’
‘... everyday life became easier because I wasn't afraid or anxious... more confident in dealing with everyday life, with everything.’
‘I learnt that the state of concentration is...the fundamental state of mind.’
