No joke this helped with my fights in Elden ring, silly I know but hell I’ll take it.

What a perfect coincidence, if you believe in coincidences.
I have just got back into skateboarding at 38 after nearly 2 decades and this morning I was talking about getting into the flow and that when in a state of flow, the fear of falling when trying to learn new tricks almost disappears. It was something I never really thought about as a youth but while practicing alone the other night the session became a flow state and things just went so smooth, the fear drifted away, I felt things just sort of click as I landed the trick I was working on and then next thing I knew well over an hour had gone by.
I think that was the first real flow state I have ever consciously felt or realized I was in.

This is incredibly useful if you have ADHD. Flow is very different from hyperfocus. One is balanced and invigorating, the other is chaotic and may even harm those around you.

I could have this on repeat for hours, thank you Waira.

Forever a practice. 🙏🏼💜

I have a whole series on rehabilitating the flow state. It’s more pragmatic than believing it’s a mind state out that the mind has to be some particular way. The whole attaining no mind thing is definitely a unicorn chase

thank you so much for the video

The true state of mushin-no-shin...it is a...wonder. only TWO times one may experience it. The novice ONCE (an accidental 'taste') and a master that MIGHT experience at will. Forget TRYING to achieve that state. You'll fail.

Sir Mushin is very real and can be taught by our martial arts. Research Tabimina Balintawak.

"I don't hit, it hits by itself".😎 That Bruce Lee bit at the end is a cool way to end the video.
☯️I experience flow state when I play sports.
Most of the time when I play football (soccer).☯️🇵🇬🙏🏾

Good Health and Blessings everyone.

Be fully engaged in the doing here and now, and realize it's a play.

Accept yourself completely without judgment. Allow your thoughts to flow freely without resistance. Be the observer.

Only awareness matters.
Contents of thoughts matter little because you're aware of the source.

Mind must always be in the state of flow.
Observe with detachment.

Thanks. 5 July 2023.🤡😇💖🕯🕯👍🎅🍇

Amazing Man! My Favorite video is "The story of a Chinese farmer", why are your videos not gaining more views in past year? there are more views on older videos though all of your videos are as good as higher viewing videos.

Have you every been driving your car and realized you haven't been paying attention? yeah, thats it.

Hi, what happened to the old Alan Watts videos on the channel? They were very good, can you please re-upload?

Flow state is also mentioned in ancient book Bhagvat Gita.
