Entering the Zone III
Entering the Zone – Method One
This first method of entering the Zone uses the power of meditation and breathing to induce an alpha-rhythm in the brain. The more often this alpha-rhythm is deliberately induced, the easier it will be to enter the Zone. For this reason we strongly recommend that you practice this method every day without fail. Make it a habit – as much a part of your life as brushing your teeth – and the benefits will soon become apparent.
The method is as follows:
Go to a place where you will not be disturbed for at least half an hour. If you wish you can make the place more comfortable by closing curtains and lighting a candle or two, and perhaps some incense as well.
Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor and ensure that your back is as straight as possible.
Close your eyes and concentrate on watching your breaths. Do not count your breaths, but simply ‘watch’ as you inhale and exhale. You may find it helpful to focus on the nostrils where air naturally enters and exits the body.
After a few moments you will notice that your breathing naturally slows and develops its own rhythm. Tune into this rhythm by imagining a drum beat every time you inhale and exhale. Imagine that the drum beats loudly, and that its vibrations can be felt throughout your entire being.
Before long you will feel incredibly relaxed and yet very alert. You will not get ‘tranced out’, but if you do feel sleepy then stop the exercise and try again when you are feeling less tired.
After fifteen minutes or so of watching your breaths an alpha- rhythm should have been established. Now it is time to go on to the second part of our method…
Imagine yourself going about your daily business, but being in perfect and total control. Imagine feeling totally connected to the universe and everything in it. Imagine everything going well for you. Imagine having a desire and then having that desire met almost immediately. The more emotion you can pack into this creative visualization, the better.
Now think of one of your major desires – it may be for a new job, greater abundance or a new romantic partner, etc. – and imagine that you already have it. Deliberately tell yourself and the universe that your desire has been fulfilled, then detach yourself from this desire and leave it alone.
When you have visualized in this manner for another fifteen minutes or so, open your eyes and then resume your normal daily business.
