Experience If you are a Quantum MindPower Gym member, there is a brainwave training you can use to have an extraordinary experience of being in "THE FLOW." (1) Click on the "Brain Training Room" menu bar on the left-hand side of the gym landing page. (2) Click on the "BRAIN BALANCE " link in the drop down menu. (3) When the new page opens, Then click again on "Brain Balance, ." (4) On that page, select "Enter the Zone." Enter the Zone: This advanced brainwave training session contains a specially balanced mix of Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta brain waves. The resulting mental state is often described as the “Zone,” and is also characteristic of advanced meditators who attain higher levels of consciousness in their practice. The positive effects can be increased by gently focusing on a point just between your eyebrows with your eyes closed.

You've heard about how a musician can lose herself in her music, or how a painter becomes one with his painting. Time stops... and only timeless, effortless focus remains. This is "flow," an experience that is both demanding and rewarding -- and perhaps the most enjoyable and valuable experience you can have. Colloquial terms for this mental state include: to be on the ball, in the zone, in the groove, or keeping your head in the game. Learning how to enter into the "flow" has the potential to immediately improve the quality of your life. The Father of “Flow” His pressing question was: Why, despite all the conveniences and comforts and opportunities of our modern times, are so many people so very unhappy? And why do they “end up feeling their lives have been wasted -- that instead of being filled with happiness, their years were spent in anxiety and boredom?” He spent twenty-five years interviewing literally hundreds of people all around the world from all walks of life -– from artists and chess masters … to janitors and the homeless. He asked each of them to recall the happiest moments of their life and describe what created those moments. He discovered an amazing uniformity in their answers. “The best moments,” he writes in his best-selling book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” “Such experiences are not necessarily pleasant at the time they occur,” he continues. “The swimmer’s muscles might have ached during his most memorable race, his lungs might have felt like exploding, and he might have been dizzy with fatigue -– yet these could have been the best moments of his life.” Characteristics of the Flow State He determined that flow occurs when we are totally absorbed in some activity that is neither too easy nor too difficult for us. If the activity is too easy, we fall into boredom -– while if it’s too difficult, we become anxious. But it the activity is just right... we find ourselves in the state of flow, just like children at play. How Flow Builds Brainpower The easiest way to understand how flow increases mindpower is this: When you perform a task that is too easy, your mind wanders from your work, and you have low mental focus. When something is overwhelmingly too difficult, on the other hand, anxiety and frustration set in. Neither boredom nor anxiety lead to good mental focus. Most often we move in and out of flow without realizing it. Any stimulating activity that completely fills your conscious attention can put you there. But the minute you feel worry, boredom or insecurity creeping in -– you are out of the flow. Here's a reliable method of achieving and sustaining a high state of flow in your life: Step 2. Decide on and focus on your purpose. As you play your game, constantly remind yourself of the underlying purpose that is driving you. This goes beyond the goal –- it is the reason for the goal. Step 3. Practice focus. Become aware of your thoughts. If you find your mind drifting or filled with anxiety, you have moved away from the zone. Refocus on the task at hand, and adjust the difficulty until you become fully engaged in the details of the task. Step 4. Surrender to the Process. This is perhaps the greatest mystery of the flow process. As you practice Step 3, you will find yourself enjoying the process of simply focusing completely on the task without straining or undue efforting. As you do, you will begin to experience periods of timelessness. Step 5. Embrace Ecstasy. The most interesting part of this process is the natural result of the previous four steps. You are going to be suddenly hit by surprise with a feeling of ecstasy. You’ll recognize it. When it happens, you are solidly in the flow. Step 6. Peak Productivity. The state of ecstasy is actually a whole brain phenomenon in which your entire cortex vibrates at one coherent frequency. It is unmistakable. You will have the sensation of creating without thinking, and your productivity will attain unheard of heights. Flow and "The Zone" If you want to immediately eliminate boredom or anxiety in your life, pick a task and teach yourself how to enter into the flow. But remember -– it’s a game, and you are to be rewarded, and not criticized or judged by anyone (including yourself).

____________________________________________ The Odd Power of Scents The human sense of smell has never received the attention of our dominant sense –- sight. But interestingly, our sense of smell is closely tied to often intense flashes of memory. Can you guess why you never forget a smell? See if you can identify the correct answer among the 4 listed below (only 1 is correct): (1) The nose has a direct connection to our brain’s reticular activating center (RAS). (2) Smell involves direct contact with at least one physical molecule carrying a scent -– and smell is therefore more “physical” than sight. (3) Our nose’s neuron’s (olfactory receptor cells) never die. (4) As an olfactory receptor cell dies, it’s replacement somehow retains the memory of the cell it replaces.
In spite of its seemingly diminished role in our modern lives, our sense of smell plays a very important part in our mental activities – and especially in memory. Your olfactory (smell) system is the only of your senses that is directly connected to parts of your brain’s limbic system. And the limbic system is directly involved in processing emotions and storing memories. That’s why certain scents, like the aroma of fresh-baked break or a particular perfume, can trigger a major emotional response that stimulates the memory of a person or event associated with that scent. Ever wonder why real estate agents recommend you have chocolate cookies baking in the oven just before your home is shown to a potential buyer? Now you know why -- it stimulates the sensation of feeling "at home." ____________________________________________

______________________________________ Answer to Brain-Teaser Our nasal neurons are truly unique. Unlike any of our other sensory-related neurons, when a nasal neuron dies, its replacement maintains the identical connections as the neuron it is replacing. The result is that once you learn a smell, it will always smell the same to you -– despite the fact that there are always new neurons smelling it!
