To be in flow is to be connected in a way that is timeless and effortless. Flow is life.
Absolutely, it's like being in a river. When we try to control everything, it's as if we're trying to stop the river's flow. We might feel safe for a while, but we're actually cutting ourselves off from the life-giving current. On the other hand, when we're in a state of collapse, it's as if we've been swept away by the river. We're overwhelmed and scared, but we're also in the flow. We're part of something bigger than ourselves. We're connected to the world around us in a way we can't be when we're trying to control everything. So, the key is not to try to stop the river, but to learn how to swim in it. To trust in the flow and let it carry us. This doesn't mean we give up control completely. We still need to steer ourselves, to avoid the rocks and the dangerous currents. But we also need to let go, to trust in the flow, to be open to the unknown. That's where real life is. That's where hope is. That's where we find the strength to keep going, even when things are tough. Because we're not alone. We're part of the flow. And the flow is life itself. Flow is connection that is timeless and effortless.

How to train your flow
Keep cultivating a deeper understanding of the relationships of connection. It's like painting a picture - the more colours and shades we understand and use, the richer and more vibrant our artwork becomes. Similarly, the more we understand the interconnectedness of things, the more harmonious our flow becomes. We recognise patterns of flowing connections. And do something, pause, see what happened, and respond. We keep going until something we could not have known before appears—a Wow moment. We learn to speed up or slow down our flow by reducing or increasing the space and time between our connections. We experience timeless effortless connection.

Let’s
Flow
To concentrate on the details of improving parts of a technical process to attain a higher standard - we disconnect from the flow of connections. If and when we have achieved the highest standard we train the flow state to achieve peak performance. This is wrong. We don’t need to first take ourselves out of flow to attain the highest standard before we train back our flow. We can train flow with the technical skills we have now.
