It's just you can do it wherever you are at any time of dropping into your senses and out of your thoughts.

And chaos doesn't necessarily carry a positive connotation, but you really mean it in a positive way here that you said something quite poetic earlier, Norm, that
In the default mode network, it's kind of us as an isolated ego trying to control the world.
In the sensory mode, we're letting the world change us.
