What is the flow state?

According to wikipedia

In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

The Flow Protocol

The Central technique that Modern Musicians integrate into their life is the flow protocol.

It’s how to achieve flow in all areas of your life.

IF LIFE IS A PIE THE FLOW PROTOCOL IS THE RECIPE for getting more done in less time and with less effort.

It is the unblocking of all unwanted and the full focus on that which is wanted.

It turns every moment into a potentially valuable moment and experience that is uniquely fulfilling.

You don’t need to go anywhere or try harder to find it, you just have to tap into a state of mind and learn how to unconditionally thrive.

Unfortunately we cannot have flow without at times experiencing resistance. With meditation, and other success conditioning tools and techniques we can reduce the resistance and allow what we want into our experience without the resistance that can lead to suffering.

You have to first push and square your AO away and dial in until you reach grounded true flow, but since you’ve already built your optimal creative structure, then you just follow the flow protocol to maintain and perform at your best.

Commit to becoming a spiritual millionaire right now and start to experience greater levels of confidence and abundance.

The flow protocol is how you achieve optimal performance, become a spiritual millionaire, and progress along the stages of Modern Musicianship.

The flow protocol is how you create your heaven on earth because it’s foundation is rooted in the harmony of the three minds of the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious minds.

The flow protocol is about synchronizing and harmonizing your conscious, subconscious, and subconscious minds starting with a purpose, dream and blueprints, then it is about managing your energy throughout the day and using pit stops, meditation and success conditioning throughout the day as ways to re-calibrate and tune ourselves to our true selves, one with the activity, in harmony with the vision.

Optimal performance works in sprints or workblocks followed by rests called pit stops.

Where Passion meets focus is where flow lives, and deep work plus repetition with immersion leads to mastery. Turn your life into a masterful performance and find optimal workflow with the flow protocol.

The Components of the flow protocol

The method to the madness

Getting Your Cycles Right

As you learned life like the game-works in seasons and cycles, if you put in enough cycles you will get gold out of your seasons. When you engage work in a holistic way with the purpose of fulfilling your full potential you will open up to the larger meaning and purpose of your work which is to fulfill your souls purpose and highest potential as well as have massively transformational impact on others through service and adding value to their lives, by connecting and expressing through your art you invite that connection and attract it into your life. You have to find the sweet spot of optimal performance by adding up the elements into the alchemic equation, the factors and the dimensions for optimal workflow structure which facilitate optimal performance, for achieving a desired outcome or experience and end goal.

Find Biological Prime Time

The day is 24 cycles, the goal is to construct that sleep wake cycle to produce the desired results of flow, fulfillment, success and mastery by synchronizing and harmonizing the conscious, subsconscious and superconscious minds to create incredible projects, bodies of work, and craft amazing art. Finding biological prime time will allow you to work in your genius and synchronize with your true self more of the time. This is part of the goal in being a modern musician, is that you synchronize with your true self and maintain an autotellic life of optimal performance building your forever brand.

Circadium rhythms

The first bio rhythm to understand is your Circadium rhythm. This is your sleep, wake cycle and centers around the 24 hour cycle of life. There are certain times of the day that you feel more creative, productive, and inspired, and focusing your effort during those times is very important to become an effective person.

Ultradian Rhythms

Your ultradium rhythms are the segments of time that you can structure your work and your energy to do your best work as well as refresh the circuits for another cycle. When you allow your body to recharge you replenish your natural resources and recalibrate to your true self. The second bio rhythm pertains to ultradium rhhthym, which is about 90-120 minutes long and occurs in the wake cycle

SFACT is the acronym you’ll remember for Closing the Gap

Stay Focused and Complete The Mission.

Once you have blueprints, use the strategy, tools and techniques to drive the dream and SFACT until you’re at home in your paradise. Stay Focused and Complete The Mission. That is how you will get back home.

This is one of the most important things you will learn.

With the workblocks and the worksets you close the gap and hit your performance targets, your clear goals, and find the sweetspot of optimal performance. Flow in all areas of your life.

This is not without work. You have to build a foundation, then progress through the stages of action with effort and attitude, as well as crawl, walk, run, then fly.

You setup your site and run campaigns and product launches until you have an organized business masterpiece working in harmony for you on autopilot.

The flow protocol is the balanced art of doing and the art of non-doing to get the most done and have the most fun.

The flow protocol is practicing the art of being your true self.

Much of what we do in life, that we enjoy or have memorably favorable experiences with are interesting or pleasurable because we are in a state of flow.

A harmonizing or often autotellic experience.

A good conversation.

Good intimate experiences.

A good workout. or intellectual Exercising.

Singing itself is a flowing of words and melodic notes.

An optimal authentic expression.

Getting into the zone while playing a sport like hockey, or golf, or basketball for example is no longer just exercise and an objective to work toward, as it is intrinsically rewarding when you enter into a flow state.

Breakthroughs, in life and in business - occur out of leading edge thinking typically during states of flow or when a feeling of work disappears and creativity along with capability merge into spiritual enlightenment, peak experiences, solutions, and insights.

Often from which many years of work and large volumes of content can be set into motion. The resulting epiphanies and ideas that result from flow state are often the seeds, the core spark, the driving concepts and insights that fuel the engine of the ship. They are typically the most effortless and the most valuable as well.

So It begs the question…

If it’s the most effortless and the most valuable, then how can I achieve a state of flow faster and sustain that flow longer?

The answer is optimal performance on a solid foundation, with good fundamentals and strong focus on the right things with a disciplined ability to neglect distraction.

Certain things, done in a certain way every day, consistently leads to flow in all areas your life.

Starting with getting to your true self with meditation

adding in visualization

developing intelligences through learning and inspired action

develop success consciousness through success conditioning

erase limiting beliefs and build an unstoppable self concept

building skills through training

building habits that fulfill you

achieving goals gives you momentum and confidence

doing what you set out to do each day gives you progress and that’s one of the keys to happiness.

A lifetime in development.

All my life went into the solution called The Flow Protocol.

It’s the best tool I’ve designed for how to feel and perform your best.

It’s both a set of concepts and a practical methodology.

It integrates all aspects of your life into an optimal workflow structure to help you to find and maintain optimal performance in your daily activities and throughout all aspects of your life.

It is the recalibration and focused harnessing of energies for purposeful productive mission driven goals projects and activities/processes.

It’s what I call total or complete creativity because it integrates your life development into your moment to moment experience as you create your reality.

I was musical and intuitive and very much valued the primitive flow state I was getting into when writing a song or creating a beat. That evolved into a deep flow state from learning and desire for passionate communication.

I developed interests and desires in many areas and followed my heart.

I then went on a rampage to learn all that I could about communication and hundreds of subjects around my mission that sculpted my view around the best practices, principles and processes of successful creators and artists

I also studied the top artists and entrepreneurs on the planet for the last 15 years

I became fascinated with human potential when I decided to be the best I could be and pursue my dreams at 17

Then I deployed and reached a new level of performance on my path as I felt what it felt like to fire on all cylinders through the theatre of combat and accelerated my path of self actualization, mastery and self realization.

I was planting seeds that would grow up to become the modern musician, music business liberation and the modern musician academy

I became further engaged with flow through building up my content business and reaching many peak spiritual experiences as I became awakened, actualized and enlightened.

Then I learned how to get into flow with my whole universe by harnessing the power of my thought, feeling, speech and action for transformative influence.

Firing on all cylinders

Flow state is how you can achieve difficult accomplishments, creating a book or a course or a great song or work of art

It’s where breakthroughs and insights come to you about the most important things in your life.

It’s an energy that is a currency in itself. And it’s very attractive.

Flow power is the energy that created Modern Musicianship and the artists revolution.

It’s the process of getting into flow with yourself, with god and with the rest of your universe.

The flow protocol is designed to activate, engage, and entice you along the journey to your paradise.

It is how to keep your minds full powers active and is how you will grow and improve over time instead of diminish or erode. The natural course of aging should be a glorious process of becoming more of what you already are, at your inner being level, improving at each impact point, Growing in each dimension and the progressive path to becoming your highest self, living into the blueprints of the life and career you want.

First are the fundamentals

sleep, water, nutrition, supplements, exercise, meditation, journaling

Basic Operational Requirements: You have to sleep at least 8 hours each night, i prefer closer to 9 or 10, you have to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, you have to meditate and you have to keep a journal, single focused activities or mega projects that integrate a lot of individual parts if you are advanced, as well as have an on ramp and an off ramp for each day with a morning and an evening ritual

You have to work in periodized 60-180 minute worksets and workblocks with pitstops and full out recalibration sessions to prime and utilize your energies each day. I want to change the way you think about work, and the way you feel about work as well. It’s a paradigm shift for many that as a modern musician you do things for who you become, and that your soul truly desires. Projects in this way complete you and make you feel whole and fulfilled.

Mind, body, and soul

Flow practices

Once you’ve built a foundation

You have your plan and your blueprints

You consciously develop skill one cycle at a time for a year and you are on your way to finding flow in all areas of your life. You can experience flow immediately or within a period of time for each day after you’ve built your foundation.

But a daily practice for a month or two will get you there.

You do that with a few different areas of development and the flow compounds and creates stronger pathways and reasons for flow

Do the work consistently and you’ll find flow through your practices

Qi-gong - tai chi - breathing Meditation Visualizing Learning Creating Exercise Connection

Integration

Integration is the flowing application of what you just learned, the skill you just developed, the habit that completes and fulfills you. The integration of a process into a business helps produce a certain result.

Integrating your

Identity

Strategy

Habits

Workblocks and worksets

Workflows

Taking breaks - pit stops

Operating from a relaxed alert state well rested and well hydrated

You are a divine instrument

Your mind body and soul are a vehicle that should be treated like a high performance race car

Meditation for 15 years is what changed my life more than anything else and how I got right with my soul along this path to becoming the Music Business Architect.

It is at the heart of the flow protocol which is the functional process for how you prepare and prime yourself for optimal creativity, productivity and performance.

It is at the heart of thriving and wellbeing and it is a mandatory daily practice that brings out the best in you as well as how you raise your vibration up the scale of emotional and spiritual enlightenment. Pure bliss consciousness.

It takes some time to get into flow. It’s like the insight that you get after 20 minutes of meditation. You wait there for a while and then it hits you.

You face resistance for about 15 minutes and then you get the thoughts that make it all worth it.

The flow protocol is what keeps me tuned in, tapped in, turned on.

It is a way of allowing what you want to have happen in life.

It’s a way to stay fresh and engaged along the journey, while focusing on the process.

It’s oneness with the activity. It’s harmony with the vision.

The flow protocol is the most effective method you could use to achieve your dreams because you are defining what you want and then getting into flow with having it through daily practices that improve your health and well being.

Follow the Flow protocol for optimal performance until grounded true flow in the self actualization stage, and then music business liberation as well as through mastery.

It’s not just the act of writing the song, it’s a love for the process that generates that feeling of flow. It’s the love for the process of getting into flow. I want to encourage you to love all parts of the process from the writing to the publishing to the promoting and profiting off your content. That’s where all the impact your message can have is. I want to help you experience flow in each phase by having a plan and sticking with it. Then as you go through the process of achieving your goals the flow protocol helps you develop optimal performance and flow in your life.

Harmony of the 3 minds, the conscious, subconscious and superconscious minds is the foundation of the flow protocol

Basic operational requirements for the flow protocol

8-10 hours of sleep each night 2-3x daily meditation Morning ritual Pit stops Circadium Rhythm timing Ultradian rhythm 60-90 minutes Workblocks and worksets 8-10 glasses of water each day SFACT Stay focused and complete the mission Get into workflow with your workflows.

It’s an arrival at lessons, answers, creating breakthroughs and making quantum leaps and incremental improvement in every aspect of your life.

It’s oneness with the activity and harmony with the vision.

It’s being the creator of your reality.

Often from which many years of work and large volumes of content can be set into motion. The resulting epiphanies and ideas that result from flow state are often the seeds, the core spark, the driving concepts and insights that fuel the engine of the ship. They are typically the most effortless and the most valuable as well.

So It begs the question…

If it’s the most effortless and the most valuable, then how can I achieve a state of flow faster and sustain that flow longer?

The answer is optimal performance on a solid foundation, with good fundamentals and strong focus on the right things with a disciplined ability to neglect distraction.

Flow is a way of life.

It is a practice.

It can be developed as a skill. It is like fulfillment. You structure and optimize your life for it and then train to develop the muscle in the factors and habits of success.

Flow is an idea whose time has come.

It’s rooted in well being and happiness as the base causes of your life.

Positive psychology calls it an optimal state of performance.

It’s through the habits and practices that we develop daily.

It’s about knowing exactly what you want and why.

It’s the focus on the process.

It culminates in a flow state.

What’s certain is that there are certain things you can do to enter flow and they are called flow triggers.

An ancient form of self mastery.

Flow state is what happens when intrinsic motivation and the right attitude concentrate until in flow.

Flow state is what happens when you get into the zone.

Flow is an optimal experience of life

It’s feeling and performing at your best. It’s an optimal experience of life in uniquely meaningful moments of experience.

It’s something I’m going to master.

Starting with your work you have to build the foundational practices that generate a state of flow, for me flow is more of an integrated mindful and technological fluidity that allows me to use my imagination along with interest and desire and passions to create content that changes the world, it’s how i’ve traveled my path to finding my place and lane in life teaching the wisdom of the ages through modern musicianship.

It started after i made the commitment to become the best i could be and took four months of work that was Army Bootcamp and AIT, but then i had my little keyboard workstation from my signing bonus and i would get into flow for 12 hours a day making music. I got into the zone. I found my happy place and started the foundation for my heaven on earth. It was bliss.

Then i added in a content business and learned how to find happiness through creating content.

Doing so is what took me from impoverished as a traditional musician to working my way up from the ground up and founding music business liberation.

Then i learned how to harness all that into speaking and teaching people the material.

Getting into flow state for me means getting into rhythm and vibration with the future i’m creating.

What i know is that there are many many states I’ve been in and there is an ascension of high quality frequencies that I send and receive on a daily basis.

Part of my job is to send the right message to the right person at the right time, and it all begins with doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time, it’s part of the philosophy and the G-Code.

My life is about developing as much joy, fulfillment, bliss, and happiness, abundance, clarity and focus as possible.

Flow state is when you’re in the right state and you say exactly what you mean to say how you mean to say it. It’s getting the right ideas at just the right time, and it’s what happens in the creation process when you tune into the right frequencies. It’s being in a place of divine expression or conversation with yourself or others.

Flow can increase your productivity because the insights and ideas you get when in flow are the most profound and valuable to your workflow

Flow state happens in conversation commonly, in writing, in sports, in being a musician, speakers can get into a flow state, painters, gardeners can get into flow state.

I try to get into flow in all aspects of my life continually. In my thinking, in my feeling, in my speaking, in my coaching, in my meditation, in my writing, in my learning, in my conversation with my relationships, in my workflows.

My spirit feels oneness and flow more of the time than not.

Flow is the mental alchemy that brings forth the fulfillment of the vision.

Flow conditions are the mental parameters or conditions that cause flow.

Flow Conditions 1: Clear goals

You have to know what you are trying to achieve. 500 words that raise someones vibration. A chorus that sings, a verse that connects all the sections of the song together.

Flow Condition: The challenge to skills ratio

You have to balance the ability level with the challenge.

Flow Condition 3: Immediate feedback

There is typically an immediate source of feedback that indicates you are in the zone. It’s a direct response from the universe that you are doing what you are meant to be doing.

Flow Condition 4: Balanced opportunity and capability

The opportunity and your capability must align for you to find flow.

Flow condition 5: Concentration

All good things come from concentration. Concentration takes the courage to block out all other distractions and focus on one idea or theme until you get to a result. Concentration is what it takes to create self discipline, and that’s what it takes to master your destiny.

Flow condition 6: Being in the present

Here is the gift we can find in each moment, as each moment is actually perfect. Your soul is perfect and usually knows what to do if we follow our heart.

Flow condition 7: In control

You want to have a level of control, and this is something that you develop over time. You are essentially training yourself to get into the pocket. Where you are in control of your life through the projects that you choose. You have to build a process that puts you in control of your life.

Flow condition 8: Time distortion

When in this state of flow there is a loss of the sense of time, where large periods of workflow, hours went by in no time at all.

Flow Triggers

Flow State Trigger 1: Meditation

Flow state trigger 2: Music

Flow state trigger 3: Visualization

Flow State Trigger 4: Social triggers as well

Flow State Trigger 5: Conversational triggers

Flow State Trigger 6: Energy triggers

Flow State Trigger 7: Commands

Flow State Trigger 8: Visual Anchors

Flow State Trigger 9: Morning Ritual

Concentration level must be at least 15 minutes

Simply consistently engage in mindfulness (a relaxation protocol) while consistently pursuing meaningful behavior, and you will feel alert, aroused, and feel good. That’s it.

Activation Exercise:

Basic Operational Requirements

Meet the basic operational requirements

Start with affirmations and visualization

Develop concentration for some period of solitude for an extended period of time where you can get into a grounded true flow. A home base of sorts, with a foundation to last for the long haul.

Develop Blissipline

Intrinsic motivation is the key to renewable energy, and through blissipline you develop confidence and passion in what you are creating and performing in the world.

Inside of you is the gold, and through blissipline you cause that gold to shine.

I find i get into flow much faster when i come from a place of service and a place of compassion for people.

So to get into a flow state you have to:

Find the places where your desire and your present moment thinking create an advancement of meaningful pursuit.

When you feel good and you perform well you are functioning optimally, and we believe you truly do want nothing more than to perform optimally.

The flow protocol is the way to unlock your full potential in life as you are creating a foundation for flow in all areas of your life.

The Flow Protocol:

• Basic operating requirements

• Build a good foundation

• Practice your skill

• Develop good habits

• Build concentration

• Follow the Flow conditions

• Create and map your flow triggers

• follow the flow protocol to be able to repeatedly prime yourself for and experience flow throughout your day

• Harness the passion recipe -

• Curiosity to passion to purpose to focused attention to flow

• Think it, write it, speak it, perform it, become it

Morning ritual

your day should start with a morning ritual that prepares you to win the day and gives you positive momentum in between your wakeup and your first work block

Eat the frog first

Then after the morning ritual you need to start with the most important task or project of the day. This is called your first work priority and it’s one of the main secrets to optimal productivity that modern musicians use to leverage their willpower and get the most important task of the day done first.

Meditation

This is usually best done right when you wake up, or any time - two to four times per day.

Learning

I often do this early in the day and learning can be used as a way to infuse more flow into your day and into your life. I recommend an hour a day or more for the rest of your life. You can transform your whole life if you learn the right things.

Journaling

One of the mainstay practices that i’ve had since i was 19 has been journaling. It’s been one of the main pieces of my self actualization that i’ve treasured and believe has helped shaped a lot of my beliefs and thinking process in positive ways to develop a rich inner life.

Anchors

Anchors can be used to reground yourself in your environment and to strengthen the bond or connection or motivation you have for something or someone.

Emotion

Your emotional system is the guidance system of your soul. If you go in the direction that your soul wants to go in, it feels good.

You can also condition your emotional state to feel good more of the time than not.

Commands

What are the key commands that you could give yourself that could initiate the flow state? Some ideas to start with are:

This brings us to the fascinating discussion of two concepts needed to get yourself into flow in all areas of your life. Flow makers, and flow breakers.

Flow Makers

Flow Makers are your friends. They are like the thoughts that want to help you advance. Flow breakers are like conscious and unconscious blocks that impede your momentary creativity or productivity. However, at the end of the day it is just putting one foot in front of the other. Your chi can be most directly influenced through your state. Your immediate physical presence. But there is a lot that goes into influencing your state from any number of negative or down states - to any number of positive enjoyable states.

Their are several factors to your states composition which come down to:

Diet, Breath, attitude, intention, posture, inspiration, motivation, and activity.

Tempo and focus are key players in your state and will affect your engagement level and presence.

Patience and persistance

Align and allow

Bring out from within

Where challenge meets skill

Enjoyment and certainty generate a self perpetuating satisfaction and eliminate hesitance, a flow stopper or flow breaker, as opposed to a flow maker.

Resilience and persistence are required in learning all the little lessons and overcoming all the obstacles needed to develop your grounded foundation and ability to generate and maintain flow.

It’s strength or level is also called your flow power and can be developed and increased to incredible levels.

• Meditation

• Reading

• Positive thoughts

• Positive states

• Good conversations

• Exercise

• Listening to music

In conclusion:

Flow is like a little slice of heaven on earth. It's everything working in harmony towards a vision and purpose that excites you. The flow protocol will change the way you work and the way you experience your life through an alignment to your true self and your source you will harmonize the 3 minds and bring your life into a state of flow in all areas of your life.

When Mind, body, and soul work together mountains can be moved and you can do anything you commit to. When the mind body and spirit come into flow you start to experience life working with and for you as opposed to working against you. Everything is right in the universe. When we use the flow protocol and g-code we can channel the divine into creating outstanding bodies of work. When the 3 minds synchronize your consciousness with your divine purpose and path, you are pulled into your work and find yourself in optimal performance. When you align who you are becoming with what what you are doing, and a well formed plan comes together, when the strategies for your life expansion culminate into the symphony of your life you will experience the benefits that the flow protocol will bring into your life for long and short term benefit.

Long term success means doing a lot of great work, for a long period of time, that means great projects for the full course of your career. The flow protocol will assist you in creating great works of art, it will help you create a masterpiece.
