Hello my friends I'm Deepak Chopra this is daily breath.

Our new series is called Total Meditation. Your mind hits a

reset button the instant thought registers. This is like the zero point of awareness.

It's almost as if the mind erases the thought

so a new thought can take its place.

Let's discuss the zero point a little more.

The zero point, which is home base, is a live dynamic and ready for anything that will come next.

Our ideal state of being is that we want to feel vibrant and alert.

You experience ideal zero point state when you are fresh,

when you feel alert, optimistic and ready for a new experience.

There are times when the zero point of the mind

isn't at true rest.

It's tired. dull.

Maybe sunk in routine, routine thinking, resistant to change.

And because of that, we fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to our resting point or zero point.

Here are some ways of noticing what it feels like when the zero point of the mind is less than ideal.

Create an irritating noise in your surroundings.

Blast music you don't like or turn up TV static.

Sit with their eyes close and clear your mind.

Notice how hard it is to be quiet inside.

It's hard to reach the zero point and when you do you feel irritated because of the noise outside.

Now find a quiet setting where you feel relaxed.
