Publisher's summary

The "zone" is an altered state of consciousness - a state of perfect focus, relaxation, and peak performance that top athletes enter in their finest moments. For most, being "in the zone" is a rare occurrence, but with the techniques of meditation expert Shinzen Young, you can learn to enter it every time you work out.

Meditation in the Zone teaches you how to combine simple mindfulness practices with your current exercise routine; prepare yourself mentally for a workout; maintain a focused state of awareness during your exercises; connect deeply with your body; and use the "after-energies" of exercise to release mental and emotional tensions.

Includes four complete meditations with step-by-step instructions.

Excellent Mediation for Endurance Training

It is uncanny how the instruction set of the guided meditation matched superbly with my cycling interval training for the day. I followed the prompts and wow! The words and guidance just happened to fall precisely where they were supposed to be, fluidly, synchronously.

The focus on breath, body sensations, and expansion/contraction of tension and relaxation allowed me to experience the workout in a much deeper, mindful way. Note, this was performed on an indoor cycling trainer for an hour, so I was able to close my eyes, and just let go of any potential distractions.

All good… looking forward to continued use and application to weight lifting, and outdoor longer rides.
