Entering the Zone IV
Entering The Zone – Method Two
This method of entering the Zone is one which some experts believe is subconsciously carried out by top athletes. Whether or not this is the case, what is a matter of fact is that it is a method sometimes used by native Americans and Shamans to alter their states of awareness. It is an extremely powerful method because it fuses the power of rhythmic breathing with aerobic exercise and deliberate visualization.
Because this method involves aerobic exercise, we would suggest that any reader who is worried about his or her health or who has not taken regular exercise for some time might be wise to consult a doctor before following the instructions below…
Equip yourself with a pair of jogging shoes and suitable jogging attire.
Jog gently for around three minutes. During this period your breathing will develop a rhythm of its own. Normally your footsteps will automatically be in tune with this rhythm, but if they are not, try to correct the situation.
When the rhythm is firmly established, continue jogging and start imagining the loud beat of a drum with every inhalation and exhalation. Feel the vibrations of this drum course through your body, empowering you.
Part two of this method is exactly the same as part two of the previous method. Proceed as follows:
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.
You can jog for as long as you wish whilst using this method, but obviously your physical stamina will take time to build up. A beginner may only feel able to jog for a few minutes, whilst a person who has used this method for a few weeks may well be able to jog for half an hour to an hour, or even more.
Your aim is simply to start using this method on a regular basis, jog for however long you can and build up from there.
