I'd never seen the 'count by three' method you mention here so I though I'd give it a shot... What do you know?! Something about doing that little bit of math helps keeps me focused and pushes my neural noise into the background. Awesome. Now, I can only *really* stay focused for, maybe, four or five breaths but I've only been doing this for three days and that's far better than any other method I've tried. It's too soon to tell whether or not this will make a difference throughout my day but I'm going to stick with it for two weeks and see what happens. Thanks for the tip Jonathan!

Trying to see the deeper level every day, hard to do though. Unfortunately a few of those 7 tips have high barrier to entry, but exercise + meditation are two that we don't have an excuse not to execute. Liked this a lot.

Total deep concentration with no mental anguish, no push or pull whatsoever. Pure ecstasy, it's great. This is basically what I experience through daily meditations.
