And the person who's seeing the possibility in a state of gratitude is feeling the emotion of the event before it's happened.

So the person who's operating from the past is usually trying to predict the future based on the past.

And they're working pretty much off a part of the brain called the default mode network.

default mode network is the brain's predictor like you say okay i've had these experiences i've done these things it's never going to change because i know it's going to be just like my past and you don't do that consciously you kind of do that unconsciously because the default mode network is always try to lay down a known try to predict the next moment and it's just like if i tossed you a ball

The default mode network would be like your body just predicting where the ball is going to go and it just kind of grabs it.

It's that automatic, right?

So the brain is naturally trying to predict the future based on the past.

The challenge with that is it consumes an enormous amount of energy in the brain.

Almost all the energy in the brain takes a lot to shut that thing off.

our data shows that in seven days you can shut that part of the brain off.

And if you're not predicting the future, you're in the present moment.

And when you're in the present moment, you're way more creative, you're way more poised, you're way more spontaneous, the brain is more integrated.

And what we discovered is those people that do it, and it's the majority of the people,

When they open their eyes after the meditation's over, with their eyes open, that default mode network is still shut off in their brain.

So they're still present as if they're meditating, but they're not meditating with their eyes closed.

That place...

is when the brain really begins to reboot itself.

And that's when you get creative ideas.

That's when you trust yourself.

That's when you're excited and enthusiastic and full of energy about what you're seeing.
