What if you could enter into a stream of consciousness in which life unfolded with ease, flowed effortlessly, AND you could do this at will? What if you could tap into a stream of positive energy where you weren't held back by fear and anxiety, and obsessive rumination were a thing of the past? Welcome to Flow--a dynamic state of consciousness accessible through the power of our own present-moment awareness. This book investigates the Flow state as an elevated level of energy within us, between us, and all around us. Recent advances in science and medicine are used to show that we have the potential to cultivate Flow through our own intent. Our ability to develop the mind-body connection and tap into our body's innate intelligence IS the gateway into Flow. It is through a contemporary lens that we can begin to understand Flow in a new way, and harness it in a manner that will literally change our brains to make way for a giant evolutionary leap.Most of us have experienced Flow on some level or understand what it means to be in the zone. By leveraging what researchers already know about Flow, the author provides key insights for individuals to reach their greatest potential. Most importantly, a new light is shed on the genuine possibilities we have for elevating our collective level of consciousness in a sustainable way. By cultivating Flow, not only will we achieve greater personal resilience but we will also unlock the door to enhanced human potential. This book summarizes the author's interpretation of the decades of research that have led to a paradigm shift in the areas of physics, medicine, and human biology. Repeatedly experiencing the benefit of an unseen universal energy (Flow) allowed her to understand and synthesize information through a new lens that produced a radically altered world-view. The author has written this book to help increase your awareness of Flow so that you are able to identify it in your own life, and, so you can begin to experience more Flow to live with greater ease and harmony.
About the Author: Welcome to the fascinating world of Flow! The author invites you on a journey of self-discovery to explore this dynamic state of consciousness that is accessible to each and every one of us through our own heightened awareness. As co-founder of the Krame Center for Contemplative Studies and Mindful Living at Ramapo College of New Jersey, and as a Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction (MBSR) teacher certified in Positive Psychology (CiPP), Catherine is dedicated to bringing mindfulness practices to others as a means of living in the Flow of life. The author was exposed to mindfulness over 20 years ago and began incorporating meditation and daily mindfulness practices with life-changing results. On her own personal journey of self-discovery she had accidental encounters with a heightened realm of being that she would later learn was the known state of consciousness called Flow. An ongoing exploration into mindfulness would prove to be a powerful catalyst for entering into prolonged periods of Flow, and she began to realize that this highly desirable state of consciousness could quite possibly be the key to unlocking enhanced human potential. Concluding that Flow is not just a state of consciousness, but rather, it is an all-encompassing universal energy, the author highlights our innate capacity to access Flow. This book summarizes the author's interpretation of the decades of research that have led to a paradigm shift in the areas of physics, medicine and human biology. Repeatedly experiencing the benefit of an unseen universal energy (Flow) allowed her to understand and synthesize information through a new lens that produced a radically altered world-view. The author sheds light on our ability to use Flow for personal betterment, and how it can become an evolutionary stepping-stone for the benefit of mankind.
