Marcus Knudsen – Bliss Coded Sound – In The Zone

As an Indie author, there’s no-one to kick me in the pants if I’m not pumping out words. I have no deadlines to meet, unless I set them myself. And if I’m not productive? I’ll never make any income. It’s all up to me. For quite a while, I’ve been experiencing a deep, lonely slump, and had pretty much given up on finishing the books I’d made great progress on; they’d been relegated to a brim-full drawer in the Guilt section of my brain.
It was really getting me down.
I realised that I had pretty much just given up. Not just on my writing, but also on my regular meditation practice. Having been doing it on and off for much of my life, I know the benefits, so not making the effort to meditate became yet another source of guilt, and that drawer was already overflowing. I felt that I needed inspiration, so I went online. Oh, more guilt! Just another way to avoid what I really should have been doing, and then I was up to my ankles.
Perhaps it was the Yin to that Yang, or the good to be found in the bad, but that’s how I found Marcus’ fascinating work. I’ve bought just about every type of sound enhancement ever created, and find them to be perfect as a lead in to deeper meditation. But I had yet to find one that lived up the promises on the box. Definitely helpful, but neither the miracle, nor the Grail. (We don’t ask for much, do we.)
I was excited to try something new, and was relieved and impressed that I could actually try before purchasing. I prefer not to think back on how much I’ve spent over the years, and it’s a challenge to meditate when you’re listening to something that gets on your nerves. Money wasted.
In The Zone caught my eye, and kept my attention. This sounded exactly like the Grail I’d been seeking, and even though I’d gone off on that hopeful quest before, (and here we go again!) I decided that it was worth a try.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found this. (Oh yes, you’re right. That’s exactly what I’m doing – telling you how happy I am.)
I downloaded the Mp3, plugged in, and to give it a fair chance, opened some folders (dusty, forgotten folders) just to have a look.
That was a week or so ago, and I swear – I’ve written more in the past week than I have in the past year. (I’m listening to it now, otherwise this would probably be just another piece of writing to put off til another time…)
Perhaps the best part of this experience is the flow-on. Anyone who gets out of bed with a purpose is happier for it. When you’re eager to get to work, it’s a true blessing. When you drop your hands from the keyboard, rest back into your chair with a sense of satisfaction and relief? That’s a great way to feel.
All the circumstances that led me to become so inactive and unmotivated have receded into background noise. I can block it out because I’m busy. Yep. In the zone. It’s the best place to be.
At this point you might be thinking that I’ve been paid to write this shameless piece of praise. (Oh, lovely thought) but no. I don’t know Marcus except for making purchase errors and then experiencing excellent after sales care.
From my own experience I highly recommend Bliss coded sound. I’ve just purchased a Subliminal – Super Motivation, and when I’m not plugged into In The Zone, I’m listening to that.
So, I wish luck to all of you who are finding new ways to enhance your life experiences, and be on your own path. I hope you find your own true Grails.
