I revisited this technique since my first response, and what I've found is 1-10 method is more an exercise of attention span, at some point when meditating there will be a slip up ( sometimes I find myself counting above 10 or below 1, and occasionally forgetting the last number I was on) . I simplified to 1,2,3,2,1,2,3.. and I believe this is the most effective at keeping focus honed in ,when I tried counting 1,2,1,2,1with my breaths I found my mind would still wander a bit. Also, I live in a noisy household due to televisions being on 24/7, I'd recommend hearing plugs (makeshift hearing plugs can be made from tissue paper, but I wouldn't recommend wetting them and leaving in for hours, I learned that it can cause earache the hard way) even in the quietest of places. I've noticed that drowning out some of the natural white noise in my surroundings makes it easier to focus. But it is more than just theoretical that the higher your focus is, the less need for such stipulations.

A method I use to focus is called the 1-10 method. I haven't been able to find much info for this online, but it's simple; Start from 1, count to ten then immediately count back to 1. 10, 9,8...4,3, 2,1,2,3....What I do is count my breaths, and it doesn't matter where you start inhale or exhale, just start on 1, then exhale would be 2.It can even be simplified to whatever works best for you, i.e. 1-5, or even letters of the alphabet. Another part to the method that can help is to visualize the numbers or letters in your mind as you go through the the cycle.

I’ve gotten better with controlling thoughts when meditating and focusing. But some times a random song just pops up in my head during meditations and I can’t get it out. It’s annoying. I know void meditation is the key but even if I can control my thoughts, the music popping up is pretty annoying. Any thoughts???
