The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence

"But by taking a deep breath, you can drop into a lower state, that of alpha. Alpha is the brainwave associated with calm and integrated thinking. In the alpha state, all the parts of your brain work simultaneously and in concert, which makes possible relaxed attention, an openness to additional information, creativity, and flexibility. It is the path to silence."
"Compose yourself and take three deep breaths. Think of someone you love dearly, without reservation: your partner, your child, your grandmother, a friend, a pet. See that person, animal, or thing in front of you, and send it love from the center of your heart. Stay with it, making it stronger and stronger ... Imagine that love curling back to you in a smooth boomerang. Breathe it in. Let it fill you from head to toe. Feel full of light and energy. Stay with it until you feel your body tinging."
