Meg Lundstrom (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 29, 1997

Imagine feeling as though the world is working with you, not against you. Imagine a day in which you make every green light and slip effortlessly into a parking spot in the most crowded part of town. You make a To Do list, and the people on it call you first. You turn on the radio just in time to hear the exact information you need. These meaningful coincidences, called synchronicity, are sure signs you are "in the flow."
Based on new, groundbreaking research, The Power of Flow goes beyond other books on synchronicity to provide you with sixteen easy-to-understand techniques that allow you to access this magical state of flow and create a richer, more satisfying life.

Amazon.com Review

We catch every green light, get a parking space in the busiest section of town, lose a job and get a job offer the very same day. Most of know it as synchronicity. Authors Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom call it flow--the times when things happen effortlessly, everything falls into place, and timing seems perfect. Unfortunately, being in the flow often feels like an accident rather than a choice. By interviewing over 50 "flowmasters" and incorporating their own professional experiences, the authors came up with 14 practical steps to help us find our flow.

"There is a natural joyous current in life, and tapping into it is what this book is all about. If you prefer happiness and delight to being stuck, read The Power of Flow." Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words

At last, a really practical book showing you ways to embrace the abundance of the universe, easily and effortlessly. I highly recommend The Power of Flow."

Louise L. Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life and Life! Reflections on Your Journey

An outstanding contribution to our understanding of the deeper processes that shape our lives. Reading this book is a Continual encounter with a part of us that always lives in harmony and attunement with the cosmos. Allowing this part to emerge and becoming a flow-master is one of the spiritual tasks before us in the next century. The Power of Flow eloquently launches us on our way.

This review is from: The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence (Paperback)

I have read many books which are directly about or recount examples of synchronicity and this is the one that absolutely resonated with my life experiences. If you cannot figure out why sometimes everything just clicks into place and why sometimes roadblocks show up at every turn AND you are willing to accept responsibility for the way your fears, prejudices, hopes, beliefs, experiences and dreams control the flow of your life, then this is the book for you. This book shows you how to assimilate key principles of self-awareness, self-love, trust, acceptance, gratitude, and responsiblity in very practical ways. If the exercises are done correctly they begin a very intense, honest, and ongoing self-examination of everything you hold dear or fear in this life. If you are ready to take the risk of coming face to face with who you truly are as a person, then buy this book. The benefit is that you become much surer of who you are, clearer on what you want from life and more directed on how you need to accomplish it. This book rates as one of the most valuable books I've ever purchased.

March 1, 2011: I am re-reading this book as I have done periodically over the years. I just noticed something today on page 24 that I just wanted to note. There is a partial quote at the bottom of page 24 (softcover) that reads "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' This quote in the book is incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela but is in fact a quote from US author Marianne Williamson. The full quote can be found in Marianne Williamson's book "A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles (1992)". This small error aside (which can be verified on WikiQuotes) I still rate this book as one of the most valuable I have ever purchased.

5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY READABLE, PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY, January 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence (Hardcover)

It is about time someone wrote about synchronicity and flow in clear, lucid language, that can be used by anyone. The authors use great, funny (and sometimes) exhilirating examples of individuals who experience flow and synchronicity in day-to-day life. What is neat is that these examples come from their own research and interviews with "FlowMasters." In comparison to other books I have read on the topic (Jung, Csikszentmihalyi, Jaworksi), this is the most accessible. The exercises are an added bonus. You could create your own spiritual retreat using this book.

This review is from: The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence (Paperback)

What I loved most about this book was its hands-on approach to unleashing the flow in your own life. After clearly explaining the intellectual underpinnings of their concept, the authors gently guide the reader with exercises and techniques that begin simply and grow in involvement as you move along. It's a great way to bring spiritual order and connectedness to your life, even if you don't think you can. I recommend it highly for anyone looking to transform their inner and outer worlds.
