About this listen

Each one of us has visionary qualities; we are inundated daily by fears, stress, and worries. Mindfulness and meditation serve as band-aids, but we are all familiar with the adage: Don’t put the sick mind you don’t understand into the healthy self you aspire to become.

This groundbreaking guide reveals why stress and fears are so instrumental to your experience of who you are that you wouldn’t want to live without them. You will learn how to use this experience to transform your reality with calm awareness and meaning.

Using a combination of the latest cognitive neuroscience, her background in coaching, and mind-bending exercises, Dr. Maria Ian explains how our brains, often without that we are aware, quickly succumb to fear and stress. We get stuck in rigid, addictive patterns and sabotage our visionary qualities. In this twilight of consciousness, we stand at the crossroads between exhaustion, mechanized oblivion, and conscious, purposeful evolution. The many tips and exercises in this guide explain how you can train awareness of this uncertainty to halt your fear and put to use a new and helpful mindfulness.

Imagine transforming your stressors into your greatest, creative breakthroughs! You will learn to rewire your brain and tap into what your anxious, stressed energy really means. A wellspring of inspiration, focus, calm, and purpose awaits so you can fuel your most audacious dreams and goals.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Stressed out? Tired of the same old grind? Looking for purpose? This audiobook explains high-level concepts so you can change your thinking to change your life. In it, the author explains things like how our past experiences shape not just our present and future actions-but our perception of reality as well. By re-forming our vision of who we are and what we can do, we can change our reality and therefore our current and future selves. In another concept about “Space and Flow”, the author describes how to use your brain’s “organization of physical space” to manage your non-physical world. You may have to listen to the audiobook twice to get all the concepts, but it’s well worth the listen.
