flow
is the concept that unifies and connects all possible forms of human movement. The basic feeling of flow occurs when you place trust in your body to know exactly what needs to happen in any given circumstance; in essence, shutting down your monkey-brain long enough to let the body find its own natural rhytmns through space and time. This is, for most of us, easier said than done. We find the root of flow in the breath; connected to that core rhythmn, we feel our energy circulate outward from our core into our limbs and extremities... we flow with the music, we dance, play, sing and giggle in ecstasy. When we are in flow, all else is forgotten, past memories and future dreams all melt into the immediate Now, and we are present to the gift of immediacy. Life is flow and flow is life; being in flow is being truly alive and aware in the glorious present.
