<b>Discover the calming power of the flow state.</b><br/><br/>We all know <i>flow</i>, even if we don't yet know what to call it: that blissful state of absorption, when you're so engaged with what you're doing that you don't notice the time passing. Psychologists now know that this still, almost meditative, state, brings us a host of mental health benefits: balance, tranquility, and less stress.<br/><br/>Jigsaw puzzling is an easy way to find this state, which is one of the reasons that they have boomed so dramatically in recent years. With the first of her Flow puzzles, Elin Svensson uses gently harmonious colour gradients to create a calming mandala that will captivate the puzzler, and take them on a gentle journey to a place of calm.<br/><br/>The box also includes a short introduction to the flow state, and its benefits, written by an authority in the field.
