Flow is where we access creativity, deep insights, and ingenious solutions to problems logic can’t solve. Whether we want to feel better, perform better, connect with a higher power, create a better world, understand the nature of reality, or just figure out what to do next, flow is where we find the answers.

 

Time in flow deepens our sense of meaning, of purpose, and of genuine spiritual connection. Indeed, modern positive psychology researchers tell us that time in flow is the foundation of genuine happiness and well being.

 

In deeper states of flow we discover a profound sense of oneness and a telepathic connection with others, with nature, sometimes to the mystical or divine, and most importantly, to our authentic selves.

 

Flow is conventionally thought of as rare and elusive state, but it’s really our natural state of being. We naturally seek out flow inducing activities when we need to reset, rejuvenate, or heal. We spend our childhoods in flow, and easily slip into a flow state whenever we are fully absorbed in doing something we love.

 

Do what you love and you will find flow. When you can’t do what you love, love what you’re doing. The right mindset and focus is all we really need to instantly and effortlessly slip into a flow state. Learning to flow is more about remembering than learning, and we can all harness the power of flow simply by reclaiming a childlike spirit of enthusiasm, curiosity and playfulness.

 

To fully harness the power of flow though, we need plenty of practice and a thorough understanding of the strange and wonderful realities flow carries us into.
