Description

A new scientific 7-step process for achieving mindfulness and unlocking your creativity at will. Improve your calm, focus and sense of purpose by harnessing the power of everyday creativity. What if everything you've been taught about being an artist was wrong If you've ever experienced the blissful feeling of being fully immersed in a project, of ideas coming to you naturally, or of getting lost in thought when cooking, playing music, or dancing, then you've accessed the flow state. Often we stumble into it, but what if you could access and unlock its healing and energising powers whenever needed This may sound too good to be true to anyone who has suffered from writer's block, but neuroscientist and former ballerina Dr. Julia F. Christensen has the backing of cutting-edge science, research and case studies from artists and everyday people to prove that creativity can, in fact, be within our reach at all times. Using ancient solutions to solve modern problems, Pathway to Flow will show how we are all artists, and will teach you how to harness the flow state through seven simple steps towards building a routine that helps you become your most engaged and inspired self.
