Peak Experiences

All it takes to have a peak experience is knowing about them. In other words, knowing what they are, and that they, in fact, exist. This knowledge alone will allow you, with a mental "flick of the wrist" to switch on to a highly organized and energized mental state that will be subjectively experienced as relaxation, peace of mind, optimism and even existential bliss. Peak experiences as first described by Abraham Maslow are moments of overwhelming joy that can be experienced at will. What's more amazing and important, is that Maslow discovered that when his students began discussing these peak experiences, they would have them more often. It seems that seeing the possibility of these peak experiences inside, internally (i.e. the "in-sight" of peak experiences) increased the liklihood of having peak experiences.
