The Joy Of Living In The Zone
What do people want most in the world? What is the most sought-after goal? From the moment we awaken to the moment we close our eyes at night, what is it we seek every minute of the day?
We want to feel good. The primary motivation behind every action we take is the desire to feel happy. Even when we're focused on moving away from pain, we are, in effect, moving toward feeling good-physically, emotionally and spiritually.
What Do They Get from Opera?
As a kid, I often asked myself, "Why do people engage in life-endangering activities like sky-diving, car racing and mountain climbing?" And I wondered, "Why do people choose dangerous jobs like being a firefighter, cop or ambulance driver? I was also confounded by the large amounts of money and time people spend going to the opera, rock concerts and sports events. The budding journalist in me asked, "What do all these activities have in common? What's the compelling force driving people to invest most of their precious free time, or whole lives, in these pursuits? What, in heaven's name, are people looking for?"
A Rush Is a Rush Is a Rush!
At one point in my teens, I saw the light. It's so obvious really. We want to feel! We want to feel something.
On some level we all know that life is about feeling. If we don't feel life we miss life. And, of course, the most popular choice is to feel good. Whatever way we choose to get ourselves to feel the end goal is the same: to experience the good side of life-as fully and powerfully as possible! We want to feel really alive and happy. Some people call it Joy. Some Pleasure. Some Rush, Electricity, Juice, Fire or Passion!
The Pursuit of "The Zone"
If you listen to the language of the street throughout the world you'll hear what's on the minds of most folks. There's one prevailing theme running through most peoples' conversations. They're talking about their desire to feel good. And they want to find the quickest, easiest way to feel good. I call this the pursuit of "The Zone." The Zone is the place of feeling good. It goes by many names. On a roll. In the flow. In a groove. Steamin' Jivin' Clickin' Rockin' or Cookin'. Many different names, one essence, one feeling.
What is The Zone?
Being in The Zone is when everything goes right! You feel great! You're on top of the world. Somehow you're magically in the right place at the right time and everything is working out just like you want. To be in the flow is to be dialed into your natural state of clarity, presence and personal power. It's being free of tension, worry and draining emotions. It's living with a sense of ease, vitality and deep inner calm.
The Zone is an altered state of consciousness-a state of perfect focus, peace and high performance. When you're in The Zone you are your true self. You regain your natural intuitive ability to be where you need to be to get what you want. You don't have to effort when you're on a roll. Everything just seems to fall into place by itself. You feel expanded, bigger than life. Often you revel in the exhilarating sensation of being outside your body, controlling what's happening to you from a broader point of view.
A Space of Magic and Marvels
In major Zone adventures, your consciousness moves outside the limited physical universe. When this happens, you're no longer bound by the physical laws of time and space. You can stretch-and contract-time and space to your desire, just as sports stars who make the impossible catch or dancers who fly effortlessly across the stage. You seem to have all the time you need to do what you need to do. Life is fun when you're cookin'. You feel serenely emboldened. Life becomes a game that you enjoy playing.
Jocks and Ballerinas Share a Secret
What do top professional athletes, dancers, salespeople and detectives have in common? They have refined the pursuit of The Zone down to an art! They all appreciate the value of developing a reliable way to enter The Golden Magic Zone. They know that finding a personal portal to The Flow is the key to producing consistent peak performance.
A Wellspring of Creativity
In The Zone you achieve your goals quickly because you're tapped into your natural spiritual power. You focus on a wish and it manifests almost instantly. You do the right thing immediately without second-guessing yourself. You generate boundless energy for your job, relationships and creative pursuits. You're able to relax whenever you want and simply delight in the beauty and wonder of the Now Moment. Being consistently in the groove, you miraculously transform your life into a journey full of abundance and success.
A Mystical Place In major Zone encounters, you tap into your innate telepathic abilities. You communicate without words. You read other peoples' intentions before they're expressed. You often know what your partner is going to say before he or she utters a word. The self-talk that is always critical is no longer there to diminish you. You feel as if you can do anything-and you do. You're in the present moment. Your mind is clear. You have a sense of inner knowing that cannot be learned from a book, but is only known by accessing it directly.
Your Natural State
Such spaces are often seen as mystical, religious states. In reality, being in The Zone is just you being more you. Being in the right place at the right time is your natural state. Recognize, cultivate and relish the times when you enter The Zone. The more consciously you acknowledge, appreciate and savor the Flow, the more accustomed you become to your natural state of feeling good! The more you vibrate with the joy of aliveness, the more you will attract people and circumstances that perpetuate your stay in The Zone!

Manifest Desires Into Your Life Quickly by Using These 2 Techniques to Prepare Your Mind Beforehand
When The Secret swept the world in 2006, no doubt many of us leapt on the bandwagon eager and willing to learn and put into practice the techniques it taught us. However, I'm willing to bet that most people eventually lost hope and gave up due to the fact that in their quest to manifest desires, they came up with nada!
Just why did they have no success? Well I'll tell you why. Their minds were not prepared to utilize the information contained in the secret in the way the information was meant to be used. A mind which has been limited from a very early age due to conditioning from parents, and other adults in our lives is just not ready to instantly become a powerful attracting tool used to manifest desires. It's just not possible.
So the first step we take is to prepare the mind for the huge change that's about to take place. Do that by using these 2 techniques.
Technique 1: The flame focus. In order to use The Law of attraction we need to be able to focus our thoughts on only the thoughts we choose without interruption from other invading thoughts. A good technique for this is to light a candle, sit down and get comfortable and then stare at the candle flame. Become one with the flame and do not allow your mind to wander while your eyes stay fixed. Both your eyes and your mind must be one with the flame in order for you to gain the full benefit of doing this exercise. This will strengthen your focus and allow you to manifest desires much more quickly.
Technique 2: Contemplation. This is a very simple yet effective technique that like the last one, strengthens your powers of focus, allowing your thoughts to have more clarity and power. You can really have some fun with this one. What do you want to manifest? Think about what it is you want for 5 minutes a day, everyday. Choose whatever it is, examine it, take it apart, add to it, ask yourself questions about it and just think about it for a full 5 minutes. Not only will this strengthen your focus and concentration, it will strengthen the image of the thing you want so that when you do start to apply Law of attraction techniques to manifest desires, you'll know exactly what it is you want.

The Law of Attraction - Tips on How to Manifest Your Desires
Here's a simple technique to create the mind-set you need to manifest the things you want most.
Almost everyone who is familiar with The Master Keys System or The Science of Getting Rich will understand the fundamental principle to getting what you want is to change your thinking. This is because in essence - we become what we thing about most.
Therefore one would imagine that if you want better health, think about being healthy and if you want peace of mind imagine that.
It follows if you want to be wealthy think about more money coming into your life.
However this is not easy for the beginner trying to manifest, because for the Law of Attraction to work we must emotionalize our thoughts with feeling.
How are thoughts emotionalized? Well, if you ever lie in bed at night worrying about something and imagining the worst possible outcome, you're emotionalizing in a negative vibration. You will receive more of the same as the Universe matches and sends back more negative energy!
So if you can learn how to emotionalize in a positive way to achieve your desires, the faster you draw them towards you.
If you were to ask one hundred people what they wanted to manifest, ninety nine would probably say "A large sum of money." but in reality this would be difficult to do as an initial attempt at manifesting because you really need to learn to walk before you can run.
Trying to manifest a huge sum of money is like expecting a four year old to win a Spelling Bee - that would be a one in a billion chance. So does that mean we can't do it? How do we stack the odds in our favour and manifest what we really desire?
Like most things in life you didn't start an expert and have instant results. Learning to talk, walk, ride a bike, skate, ski, drive, the list goes on, there has to be a starting point and this can lead on to great achievements.
This is true for manifesting - do something simple first, something you can master easily, and see results quickly. To this end try manifesting a parking space, yes a parking space. We all find ourselves in situations when we drive to a particular location where parking can be horrendous. Wouldn't it be great if we knew a space would be waiting for us every time we set out on our journey.
Close your eyes (but not when you're driving!) imagine your journey, this should be easy as you've probably done it a thousand times. Make the journey in your mind, emotionalize it, see the sights along the way, hear the sounds, maybe the noise the tyres make as they go over a bridge or train tracks. Think of the smells you might encounter, enrich your memory with as much detail as you can. Feel relaxed as you drive, as you know you'll have no trouble parking at your destination.
Visualise arriving and finding that empty space and think about your feelings at that moment, let the universe go to work for you - expect the space to be there, don't hope, really believe it WILL be waiting for you.
Keep doing this until you can create a parking space for yourself every time you go out, it will happen it's not beyond you, remember you're doing other things now that may have seemed impossible at one stage in your life.
Take things one step at a time, some may go faster than others but we can all reach our goals. The important first step is to actually take action.
Start your building blocks to success, once you've mastered that - move on to something else more taxing.
So if you want to manifest $1,000,000 start with a parking space!
