• “Where does the line cross between feeling good and dealing with all of your issues?” – Marvin
• Marvin says that the brain can have a direct relationship with so many other parts of the body like the lungs, the gut, etc
• Isomorphic means you can observe a specific principle, operating at a certain level of extraction
• When someone has neurosis, they have an inability to express themselves in a certain way
• “Flow states can be operationally defined as states in which there is a higher level of capacity to more finely discriminate between similarities and differences.” – Marvin

Breath

• He suggests learning the basic mechanics of functional breath
  • Checking out the Quiet Mind foundation is a good place to start
