Finding "Flow"

I was using  an anti stress apps on my phone. Suddenly one quote grab my noticed. Its says "have you familiar with the phenomenon called "Flow". Its a almost meditative state where you will focused on a task and reduce self consciousness the method helps to remove stress. I get completely curious. Try to read as much information i can get and the more i read the more i get surprise. Doing meditation from long time i was familiar with  it. I found it from plenty of gurus and sadhus(saint) from south east Asia but never thought west did that much research on it and its already scientifically proven. Here i am trying to write something about flow to make it understand from different research.

As a technical  flow is defined as the movement, change,

energy, or force present within a sensory experience. Flow can occur within active states (such as

Touch, Feel, Image, or Talk) or within restful states (such as Relaxation, Peace, Blank, or Quiet).

Flow is not something separate from specific sensory experiences; it is a characteristic that

appears within a specific sensory experience as a result of continuously bringing clarity and

equanimity to that experience.

Flow and Vanishing represent two sides of Impermanence (Pali, anicca)

The impermanent nature of things can be looked upon from a pessimistic point of view or an

optimistic point of view. Pessimistically, everything passes, so to pin your happiness on any

object or situation is to set yourself up to suffer sooner or later. From this perspective,

anicca is linked to dukkha (which is from Sanskrit  the suffering nature of life). Optimistically, impermanence is movement, and (as Newton pointed out) movement reflects an underlying force. By focusing on

instantaneous rates of change in ordinary sensory experiences, we can come into direct contact

with the underlying Force that molds them…Spirit. From this perspective, anicca is linked to

prāna(Sanskrit again the ebullient energy of life).

It would be convenient to have a word for this positive aspect of change, so  call it Flow.

however in the “Positive Psychology” of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, flow refers to the pleasure derived from being in a state of samadhi as you do ordinary things, a notion different from (but not entirely unrelated to)

Flow as we will be using the term.

Sounds little complicated so make it  simple Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.

flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand. To be caught in the ennui of depression or the agitation of anxiety is to be barred from flow. The hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task although flow is also described (below) as a deep focus on nothing but the activity – not even oneself or one's emotions.
