FLOW CONSCIOUSNESS
a talk by James Brown www.vedicpathmeditation.com
Vedic PathMeditation
What it is. What gets in the way. How to cultivate it.
Flow is a state of consciousness in which we are able to make the most out of every moment of our experience. When we
perform at our best, and enjoy ourselves fully. It is a state in which we are
completely present, without trying to be.
