Anyone had the experience of finding it difficult to concentrate on reading? I normally read a lot (3 or 4 books on the go at a time), but recently I have found it difficult to focus my attention on the written word. I get a tension in my belly area, and find my breathing becoming quite erratic. I've had this before, may years ago, and it seemed to coincide with increased spiritual practices. I'm just a bit confused with what my body might be trying to tell me, if anything!
I totally recognize that! I had a period when my brain totally logged off. Please read this thread where you're question on concentration and other cognitive abilities are discussed in length
