The Science and Theology of the Flow State (Part 1)
Manage episode 411249915 series 2790065
Steph Curry experiences it when he’s “in the zone” and hitting 35-foot three pointers with ease. John Coltrane experienced it when he was recording his saxaphone performance on A Love Supreme. Psychologists have come to call this experience “the flow state.”
But how might the flow state be related to what a monk experiences when he is deep in contemplative prayer or what a revival preacher feels in a tent meeting?
In this series, we’ll explore the science of the flow state through the groundbreaking work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s in his 'Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience' and offer theological reflections on possible points of intersection with historic Christian spirituality.
