Getting Into the Zone

Mudra Meditation

The zone is a place of pure bliss and awareness, it is that prized state of enlightenment we spiritual seekers seek, and that plane of existence the world of the miserable needs to know about. It is true salvation; for, as some of you already know, landing 4 million dollars in your bank account will not solve your misery, even though it can give you a period of extreme excitement.

3.Use introspective methods to take your mind away from mental gossip or chatter—for example: a journal that is used for reflection for your inner state of being
