Relaxation is a creativity superpower for your team.

Some of the greatest inventors and visionaries of all time arrived at their creative breakthroughs through a dedicated relaxation practice.

Thomas Edison would deliberately fall asleep with his hand slung over the side of armchair while holding metal balls. As he would begin to doze off—what we now know as the brain entering alpha wave state—his hand would relax, and the balls would drop. The sounds of the metal balls clanging on the floor would awaken him, and he’d immediately grab a notebook to record all the ideas that came to him in this altered state of deep relaxation. Einstein, Tesla, Dalí, all cultivated similar deep rest practices that they would deliberately use to seek their greatest discoveries.

If you’ve ever experienced that moment, just as you were falling asleep, when a brilliant idea has come to you (surely, so brilliant you would no doubt remember it in the morning upon waking ;) ), then you too know it is precisely in that deeply relaxed alpha and theta-wave brain state that we are all able to tap into our deepest reservoirs of creativity and breakthrough thinking.
