The Flow Machine as a “Launching Pad” for Flow State Success

Clinical data strongly suggests that the Flow Machine puts you in the alpha wave state.  Alpha brain waves are, in turn,  associated with the “flow state”.

According to positive psychologists  Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Jeanne Nakamura, a flow state is where you become immersed in what you are doing. It is where action and awareness merge into one.

Flow is when you are completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.” ~Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

“Flow” can be thought of as a psychological common denominator among all people that transcends diverse backgrounds and experiences. Whether an artist engrossed in creating a masterpiece, an athlete pushing their physical limits, or an executive navigating complex decisions, the concept of flow connects them all.

Flow state practitioners,  creative arts teachers, and sports psychologists alike now have a new tool to assist their students/clients in achieving their flow state objectives.
