Flow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)

After our discussion in class, I wanted to look further into what others have defined flow as and whether Whalen was describing flow, or describing a trans. This article is really interesting for two reasons. First, it looks at different areas and explains how people in those areas can achieve flow, such as athletes, musicians, and even spiritual flow. Also, there is a graph set up mapping other states of mind that are comparable to flow on an axis of challenge and an axis of skill level. It is really interesting to see where each state of mind falls.
