hmmm, I couldn't recall any tut's on this matter so I thought I'd ask for some help.

Does anyone have any methods they use, or they have heard of in order to increase concentration when using affirmations etc?

For Instance, when MILDing I pretty much know when it will work. And those times are the ones when my mind is focused on lucid dreaming...and not something I have to do the next day.

So Im asking, how does one clear one's mind to focus on a specific thought?
