The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms

by Vishen Lakhiani

I was once invited to be a guest on Tom Bilyeu’s famous YouTube show “Impact Theory.” Tom was more than an interviewer, he was also the founder of the billion-dollar company Quest Nutrition. As we spoke on meditation and intuition, I turned the question to Tom. Where do your ideas come from? Tom explained that he meditates every day and after his usual meditation he stays seated and goes into a process he calls “thinkitation.” While “thinkitating,” he ponders his business and life and looks for new ideas. Tom also said that 80 percent of his ideas come from this process. I explained to Tom that what he was doing was accessing intuition. When we meditate, our brain frequencies slow down to what is known as the alpha level. This is the brain wave state associated with intuition. Tom is still in that state after doing his regular meditation and thus is accessing intuitive ideas to help him grow his business and life.
