The logical mind is an architect: it solves problems with blueprints it already knows and loops on a well-worn path. The intuitive mind is an artist. We built a bridge between them, a sacred marriage of logic and a little bit of magic.

Call to mind one familiar challenge, then breathe in for five and out for five through the heart. Picture orderly structures on one side of your mind and swirling colors and music on the other, and watch a shimmering bridge of light form between them. Let its light evaporate the static, the inner critic, the fog of self-doubt, the cold wall of fear, into crystal clear air. Ask your challenge to appear in its wisest form, a sage, a gatekeeper, even a monster, and ask what it's here to teach you. Take the gem it offers into your heart.

The bowls kept telling me, it's easy. I asked, easy to do what? They just said it again.
