If you concentrate by gathering the energies, it is better to gather them in heart because it is in this centre, in this region of the being that you find the will to progress, the force of purification, and the most intense and effective aspiration. The aspiration that comes from the heart is much more effective than that from the head.

=How to Cultivate Will to Progress? =
All the psychological qualities can be cultivated as the muscles are—by regular, daily exercise. Above all, turn towards the Divine Force in a sincere aspiration and implore it to deliver you from your limitations. If you are sincere in your will to progress you are sure to advance.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/21-january-1962#p3 </ref>. through regular, persevering, obstinate, unflagging exercise of concentration and will.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/7-april-1965#p2 </ref>
The only way to develop the true will-power is (1) to become aware of a conscious Force behind that uses the mind etc. (2) to learn by practice to direct that Force towards its object. I do not suppose you will find it easy to do either of these things at once—one must first learn to live more deeply in the inner consciousness than you have done hitherto. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/vigilance-resolution-will-and-the-divine-help#p30 </ref>
In the forehead between the eyes but a little above is the Ajnachakra, the centre of the inner will, also of the inner vision, the dynamic mind etc. (This is not the ordinary outer mental will and sight, but something more powerful, belonging to the inner being.) When this centre opens and the Force there is active, then there is the opening of a greater will, power of decision, formation, effectiveness beyond what the ordinary mind can achieve. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras#p59 </ref>
