    Dear David,

    >> I keep hearing that the mind should be coaxed, not forced, and that
    focusing should ultimately be done without tension; but I don't have a
    clear sense of how to get there. Any tips? <<

    I don't know if this is still an issue of concern for you but here's my
    advice in any event. :)

    Take the task incrementally. For example, begin with a commitment to
    focus yourself exclusively upon the task at hand for five minutes. Once
    you've mastered the ability for a five minute stretch, begin increasing
    the duration of your focus. Try this with a variety of activities
    throughout your daily routine. By approaching it in this way, you are
    not overwhelmed by the prospect because you are dealing with a
    manageable amount of time *at the outset*, instead of trying to
    immediately deal with the prospect of hours at a stretch. Eventually,
    you will find it an easy matter to focus your attention at will and for
    as long as you desire.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
