People often ask me what they should do to redress the balance between the brain hemispheres. The first step to recovering anything is to be aware of how much you are missing by your way of being in the world.

There is of course a paradox, in that if you can’t see it, how can you know what it is?

What’s a bliss station? I’ll let Joseph Campbell tell you:
“You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.”
Kids, jobs, sleep, and a thousand other things will get in the way, but we have to find our own sacred space, our own sacred time.
