Welcome to BodyandMindFlow

Flow is a state of total absorption in what you are doing. It is being in the present moment. The experience of flow is a rewarding one, and once experienced, is much sought-after by people in all walks of life. The experience of being totally absorbed in what you are doing can involve a sense of 'flowing' from one action to the next. Hence, the name given to describe this state—flow—by the psychology researcher who has written both extensively and eloquently on the subject, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
