Flow State

Part of the Awareness Wheel

What is Flow State?

The experience of effortless, fully absorbed engagement where awareness and action merge. In flow, the sense of separate self temporarily dissolves. Time changes quality and performance reaches its peak. This state reveals what is possible when awareness is complete.

When you might feel flow state

Flow State is a specific form of integration, which itself is a type of consciousness. You might experience this feeling in situations where consciousness is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define flow state.
