It is therefore not surprising that martial artists in ancient Japan spent years mastering a meditative state called "mushin" which, once mastered, completely shed their fear and allowed them to move freely and strike without hesitation. The flow state, which I experience as being like water without form or conscious control, differs from our natural, “conscious” state. When someone enters the flow, their self-esteem decreases. When musicians improvise, brain tests show, for example, that the brain activities responsible for self-esteem fall off. In other words, they switch to flow. Musicians perceive the state as a certain serenity paired with multiplied creativity. Jazz musicians, athletes, monks ... they all have different terms for it, such as "Being in the pocket", "Runner's High", "Nirvana", and yet they describe the same thing.
