Meditation via staring at a word in a book

[Hojo]

I try to read spiritual books but I hate reading. I end up just staring at the words, and found a way to meditate by staring at a word in a book. 

Also while meditating I find it hard to focus on one specific thing my eyes will dart side to side, I cannot remained focused on one point. Things will get blurry and I will fall back into my mind.

But looking at a word in a book helps with this. A word contains letters but is a thing in itself, if the eyes get tired of staring at the word they can focus on a letter, and then back to the word. You remain looking at the same thing, but something different in the thing.

If you have adhd and can't focus on one thing while meditating, maybe looking at a single word in a book can help you meditate.

If you focus on a positive word it will help you feel good too.

@Davino Since the meditators say to look up while doing it place the word so you are looking up at it too maybe.
