The Flow Research Collective is a research and training organization. Our mission: understand the science behind ultimate human performance and use it to train up individuals and organizations.
By decoding the neurobiology of flow-understanding what is going on in the brain and in the body when humans are performing at their best-we can open up a new possibility space for human potential.
We help leaders in every domain get more flow so they can benefit from the performance enhancements the state provides. Amplified productivity. Improved decision making. Heightened creativity. The list goes on.
Hold on, so the desire for flow is more addictive than like a withdrawal from the worst type of opium out there? Another question. How to recover from the post-flow energy crash? Kundalini Meditation? Cold exposure?
Also, is sugar being used in conjunction with calorie and low protein, table salt, all not good. I need complex salt that is needed to make up for the extra water due to the dehydration factor with the caffeine. Replenishing water and salts is critical to energy levels, especially when out in the sun as much as I am daily, hours with max skin in the sun for melatonin and mitrochondria charging, as well as grounding and walking miles each day. All critical factors in Youthing.
Darby goes In Sany is a video that shows what being in the flow can be, day and night, time irrelevant, with a vision that all came to pass. Yes. this is true stuff guys. Living proof is possible. You are on target in so many ways, Fueled by massive sunlight on my skin each day, grounded in leather on the ground, prana yama deep breathing, controlling the abilities to enter the flow state and holding it for extended periods of time. Wow. You are giving science to experience and explaining what no one else could. They are saying coffee is bad, THC is bad, but if you have the right metabolism, with a good diet, lots of eggs, organic peanut butter, other protiens and energy supporting foods. The balance is essential, I agree... thus is the likely reason for coffee and THC balance each other out... leading to an easing into flow state... but not good for everyone. Genetic choices are the factor,. thanks for pointing that out as most people can not do what I do, that is clear.
I spent 1,000 hours in the cabs of heavy equipment, never having done it before in my life to reach a flow state that allowed me to dig canyons, create a world known as Salvage, Texas, to form an embassy to what can be when Wii beleive in our ability to do the impossible daily. Wow. Thank you for your information. I am a new consumer of your stuff to explain how I have done all of this despite having grown up as a crippled suicidal child who has spent his life to create what a fantasy story tells, the Book of Wibblry and Wub on YT is a portion of your story I have lived in this lifestory that your research helps explain. I had to die to learn this long ago, a half a century past when none of this was understood, finally seeing what was foretold so long ago and helping materialize the evidence of what you are speaking of makes possible. Wow! Great to see your stuff.
Thank you for filling my daily learning period with incredible information I had no idea anyone was researching. As a dopamine lover all my life, serial entrepreneur, from eating in dumpsters to making millions and walking away from business to use Positive Disintegration to create the person I wanted to become and finally become the writer and manifesting the fantasy I was born to do. There is so much that wii, all the "I"s that see. Crazy cool news to help explain how I have managed to reach and maintain flow states that defy the realm of natural possibility. These are the same things that come from the Shamanist side of my world and the concept of salvaging and expressing the many "I"s that Wii choose to express ourselves as. Manifestation and Being is an incredible experience when you have the perspicuity to appreciate it and do the work Wii came for without reservation. Thus are Wii full of the Light, the energy that such Saltwater batteries as the body Wii see, but not the Spirit that communicates through this wonderful machine. Thank you for you explanations and science to prove so many things I had no words for before your talks.
I am stunned that you do not have more people watching, commenting, and absorbing the significance of this information. I am 69 and performing at levels physically and mentally that were impossible when i was in my 30s. We do not mature until 66-78. I believe that, as I live in this stage, I am defying the very things that take most people down. I do drink coffee, have most of my adult life, at times up to 20 cups a day, now on 6-10 cups a day. I smoke pot without any significant reduction in my performance but actually allowing me to focus, to drop into the flow and operate at highly productive speeds and efficiency that does not seem possible otherwise, as well as increasing my creative potential. Writing, drawing, operating heavy equipment to sculpt the Earth with visions in advance of doing it, as if in visions, what will come of my works one day.
I am surprised you do not have more commentary and interaction for this fascinating lecture on the research you are doing. Thank you for doing the research. Love to see how I can participate or offer a spot for a gathering in Texas, near Austin, San Antonio and in a fantasy place that proves what you all propose is possible. Flow is the secret that allows one person to do what hundreds can not imagine doing together, and in months, not years. Love your stuff guys.
Willpower is in the back f the brain. Still, it requires intellect to activate and fuel it with passion, our heart or gut-driven goals that are part of the harmonization of the three highly concentrated neuron centers driving our intuition, presence, and imagination. Love your work, guys. As a creative who has used flow to create miraculous feats, transform the world in ways few can imagine in timelines that defy being possible, solo. I love the proof of what you are saying and at 69 and typing 150 wpm, doing physical things I could not do in my 30s, and proving that it is indeed what wii believe that allows some of us to defy what all the normies can do. Flow goes beyond the body, it goes into the remote viewing and other levels of cognizance that appear to be possible outside the body but communicating with the body with out consciousness able to travel through the physical world without attachment to time/space/distance issues to interupt nearly instanteous absorption of information that does not require a clear physical pathway except to measure the reciever and transmitter mechanisms, not the spirit itself.
I am from Brazil, I’m a big fan of Peter & Elon. Being a CEO is a challange in my country and I keep positive. Thanks for this excellent and inspiring video.!
On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
Just to clarify. Winning is not happiness, Flow (trauma free state) - is - happiness. "Winning" is your potential or the growth/healing path or the effort (to help you measure and become aware of your progress, to motivate your persistence) it will take for you to become trauma free (your body and mind is full of hidden pain points) to discover or reach - living in the flow. One must get there first to know what the Flow state is, only then can one know if she/he is in that zone or not. Flow is not a buzzword. Finally, your evolving capacity moves you towards the flow through active listening/awareness/acknowledgment/care/focus. By all means, use recovery, recharge, etc to allow the growth/healing process to take its time. Take some time , that's what time is for, and enjoy that amazing feeling about that half-a-stroke faster if you use swimming as your way to achieve. There is no healthy growth without the positive inner talk/gentle euphoria. Flow is not a concept, flow is your complete knowledge base/experience.
100 years ago people worked a lot harder physically .... might have required a hearty breakfast because there were doing enormous amount of energy expenditure in today's work machines do most of the physical work .... two meals a day is more than enough, and if you have a very sedate lifestyle one meal a day.... The less food you have the less oxidation you have ....
It was amazing being able to be here live to witness such a wonderful conversation between you both. Thank you Chip for opening up the space for us to attend live and thank you to Steven and Co for leading such an incredible conversation!
