There is a word in meditation traditions called samadhi. It describes a state where concentration becomes effortless, the mind grows quiet, and awareness flows smoothly without strain. In modern psychology we often call this state flow. In flow there is no inner struggle. Just presence and a peaceful sense of being fully immersed in what is happening. Although I’ve been lucky to explore this state through movement many times, I’ve also caught myself entering flow while painting… or even while cleaning the house.

Maybe samadhi isn’t always somewhere far away in meditation. Sometimes it quietly appears in ordinary moments when we are so present with what we’re doing that the mind simply rests there… What was your last time you experienced flow?
