      What Is Flow State?

      A STATE WHERE EVERYTHING JUST FLOWS

      You know that state we’re in, when we act with razor sharp focus, our confidence is overwhelmed with creativity, our body adapts to the situation effortlessly.

      It’s in this flow state that we take giant steps in our level of fulfillment, moving in the direction that creates total mastery and totally dissolving our ego.

      In it, we are completely dissolved in what we’re doing, so much that it feels like time is slowing down.

      We’re so deeply in the present moment that we merge with activity itself, giving us the overwhelming feeling of “being at one.” In this state there is no doubt, there are no stressors or pressures, blocking us from achieving what we want.

      There is no inner voice criticizing every move we make, we are completely immersed in the task at hand. This state is not mystical, it’s called the flow state –

      When we are in flow, we are adjusting to reality costs, like riding a flow wave, we experience the most desirable state we may find ourselves in.

      It’s about total trust and total absence of fear. A sense of extreme happiness, connectedness, and harmony permeates our being.

      You feel in tune with the task, moving with an accuracy and composure and fully enjoying every second of it.

      Athletes call it “runner’s high” or “being in the zone”; others call it a “heightened state of consciousness”; buddhists call it “nirvana”.

      We call it the state of flow, a fluid stream of optimal perception and optimal experience.

      A state where everything just flows.

      • This resonates. I think safety is an often-overlooked ingredient in flow. When the body stops bracing, flow has room to emerge.
