Clearing and Focusing With Hakalau: A Short Guide
Hakalau focusing is a technique I use personally and with my clients, and I find it incredibly effective.
- Get into a comfortable position – sitting or standing.
- Find a spot on the wall you can focus on easily, and stare at it directly, breathing easily.
- Now as your keep your focus on that spot and without moving your eyes, begin to expand your awareness of what you can see in your peripheral vision.
- Keep expanding your awareness until you can take in180 degrees or as close as you can get.
- You’ll know its working when you feel your mind is clearing and you have a strong sense of calm.
- The more you practice this technique the easer and more effective it will become.
