An Inner Rhythms teaching with Mariane Karou distinguishing between two very different qualities of attention: hyper focus, which draws tension into the body to produce results, and precise and spacious focus, which holds the same clarity without strain. You explore how the latter — an expansive, open alertness that remains pinpoint-accurate — is actually the more sustainable and productive mode for navigating your whole life.
The session addresses what happens when that spacious focus wavers and thoughts rush in: rather than fighting it, you recognize this as part of the natural rhythm of the practice. Over time and with consistent training, the capacity to hold this quality of attention grows — and what you develop here carries directly into how you relate, work, and move through the demands of your day.
