Altered States of Mind
Say this every night before you go to bed and every morning when you wake up. These specific moments, just before drifting off and within 5 minutes as you wake up, naturally align with the alpha state of mind—an optimal brain frequency zone for reflection, receptivity, and setting intentions. These transitional phases serve as potent gateways to cultivate a balanced and focused mental state.

The Invention of Sewing Machine by Elias Howe Attributed to the Altered State of Mind
Did you know that the sewing machine was an image Elias Howe saw in a dream? In the mid-19th century, Howe was reportedly troubled by a recurring dream where he was taken prisoner by a group of natives. As the story goes, he noticed a unique spear tip featuring a hole near its pointed end.

In his dream, he realized that the motion of the spear’s tip and the hole could inspire a more efficient sewing technique. This dream sparked an idea within Howe’s inventive mind.

He experimented and eventually designed a sewing machine that utilized a needle with an eye near the pointed end. This mechanism mimicked the concept he saw in his dream, leading to the creation of the modern lockstitch sewing machine.

Elias Howe was able to tap into the alpha state of mind to access innovative solutions through relaxed yet focused mental states!
Embrace The Beauty of Who You Are
Embrace the beauty of who you are!
You’re not meant for constant upgrades like new shoes or an iPhone with a better camera lens! You are a masterpiece in progress.
Treasure yourself; you’re not a disposable piece of plastic.

Grow and evolve, but always toward your true essence, closer to your authentic self.
Be kind to the current you and try to be a little better version of your yesterday’s self! With small steps, you can travel a long journey!

Cheers to 2024 to seek inspiration in our aspirations this year. May we harness this state of mind, like Howe did, to unlock creative brilliance, solve challenges, and manifest our aspirations into tangible realities in the coming year!
