How does the concept of ‘flow’ relate to spiritual experiences, and what can it teach us about fulfillment?

The concept of ‘flow,’ as described by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, relates to spiritual experiences in that both involve a deep sense of immersion and connection. Flow describes a state where individuals are fully engaged and lose track of time while doing an activity they love. Similarly, spiritual experiences often involve a profound sense of presence and unity. Both concepts highlight the importance of being deeply engaged and aligned with activities that bring fulfillment and purpose.
