Total Immersion: How To Recognize and Tap Into The Power Of Flow  "These are flow moments of course – spells of time in which we become wholly absorbed in our endeavors. They’re sometimes called peak performances or “in the zone” moments in the athletic arena or, alternatively, samadhi in yoga and select Eastern religions.

It’s a union of sorts, as the samadhi concept suggests."—-Mark Sisson
