Flow State.

In any body of water we see ourselves.

Today

Where skill meets opportunity.

Most of us call it being in the zone or simply focused.

The internal negative chatter fades. Distractions fall away, and taking planned action becomes the reward.

It arrives when you know your next step.

One · Movement

Move first.

From the toes up.

The sequence
01
Toes. Expand and contract.
02
Ankles. Rotate, then pedal.
03
Lower leg. Kick outs.
04
Upper leg. Figure four, or knee hugs.
05
Torso. Twist, then side body.
06
Chest. Hands by the ears, open and close the elbows.
07
Shoulders. Shrug, then circles.
08
Arms. Swing, then circles.
09
Forearms and wrists. Stretch, then wrist circles.
10
Fingers. Expand and contract.
11
Neck. Gentle stretch, opposite hand to the side of the head. Then turn the head.

All of it works from the chair. Follow along live, or move at whatever pace your body asks for.

Three rounds, three places.

Five counts in, five counts out. Send the breath to everything listed.

Three · Visualization

Journey to your Flow State.

Name the place where you find your most relaxed self.

Stay wherever you are comfortable throughout.

My place

One

Walk toward the water as you hear it before you can see it.

Two

As you begin to see the water, take in its colors, its shape, its scent, its taste, its feel.

Blue Gold Green Clear Other
Three

Flow asks that we release what holds us back. Today is the ninth day of the ninth month, and nine is the number of completion and release.

Name nine. Release them to the water and watch them flow, one by one.

Four

A new moon arrives tomorrow night. A dark sky and the start of the cycle. Where the ninth day asks what is finished, the new moon asks what you are planting.

For each one released, name what fills its place. Should you feel safe, you may enter the water with each one, until you feel the sensation of floating.

Five

Let your mind run its movie. A day the work moved through you.

What was in my movie

Water is the metaphor. A mind, body, and spirit relaxed, open, and willing for opportunity in an authentic flow state.
