All right, we'll go back. Okay, so there's three components to it. First of all, it's a practice, right? It's a practice that you do. It's like yoga. You can do the downward dog, but you can also study the teachings of yoga. Most people, when they go to the gym, they're just doing downward dog. They're just doing the physical aspect of it. They never want to hear about the philosophy behind it. Flow drumming is similar. The physical practice is one of emotional reconditioning or spiritual Communication. The bigger picture is a whole way of looking at life, which is that we are in constant motion. That motion creates alignment. We've all been literally shot from the arrow of time, as a physicist would say. And we are all traveling in an aligned direction. Everything around us, that direction has a path of pure ease and a path of pure flow, and there is no resistance. Earth is going around the sun. It's not struggling, it's not getting confused. It's not dropping in and out of orbit. Water is flowing from the tallest mountain downward based on gravity. Stuff may get in its way, but it's always finding the easiest path, right? The path of least resistance. Or if you get into, again, science, whatever takes the littlest energy to achieve our goals, that's us also, as we are traveling through our lives, we forget that there is this fundamental, absolutely frictionless space. Like if you imagine electricity, there's no resistors on that circuit board, just going from there to there. Boom. Unless you put stuff in the way to stop that flow. So I always remind myself, my life also has a perfect flow. No resistance, nothing getting in the way, going wherever I'm intending that arrow to go. But stuff piles in other people, relationships, opportunities, things that I'm thinking that go in and mash it all up and change it all around. So that's sort of the philosophy behind what flow itself is in the grandest picture that I want to always remember. I want the easiest path. Whatever I'm creating, I want the easiest path. Not because I'm lazy, but if I get an easy path, I can double down and I can get even more done. I want to be the bird flying with the wind, and I'll flap my wings really hard if I have to. But if I flap and I'm on a current, like I am really booking, if I'm going against it, I am holding and I'm exhausting myself. So that's one of the first ideas, right? And that's sort of flow itself. Now, flow also has another definition to it. It's the psychological definition. So Dr. Mihaly Chichenmihalyi, the father of positive psychology, coined this term and described it. We've all heard it. It's kind of gotten very popular lately, like for mental hacking and so on. Get into flow state. Imagine your golf swing, get into that hyper, and they make it sound so hard. It's not. We all accidentally fall into flow multiple times a day. Whenever you've lost your consciousness, focus on something, and you drifted off and you come back, you were kind of Bilocating your consciousness at that point. Now, we typically do that mostly when we daydream, when we stay sustained in it. Like, say you're writing and you look up and it's been an hour, and you're like, whoa, where was I? That just all just, like, flew out of me. You'll be like, oh, I was in flow. You were in flow. You took that daydream state and you activate it into a certain performance. I said, what happens if we take that idea and I apply it to my emotional, energetic self? What if I apply it to my spirituality? What if I apply it to that idea that if I really am moving into my future every second, my feature is literally waiting on me every minute to say, here I am. Here I am. Here's who I am now. Here's who I am now. So it can, like, match me, so it can mirror me. And most of us just default second after second into our futures. I said, no, no, I'm going to take a few minutes and not default into the next moment. I'm going to intention the next moment. And how do I do that? What am I going to intend? What's going. How do I do that? That's where the technique comes in. Here is who I am future. I'm not this. I know I'm not. I'm not that way necessarily now because of things around me. In fact, maybe there's nothing outside of me in my life that gives me permission to feel this way. Let's say I want to be rich because everybody loves that one, right? I want to be wealthy, ungodly rich. Yeah. I want to have all my needs met. I want to be retired. I want to be a philanthropist. I want to be rich. So people would say, well, you can't, you know, feel your way to be rich when you're not really rich. You're faking it. I'm like, no, I'm not faking it. Not at all. My future is asking me who I am so it can pair stuff up. So as I step into it, I'm kind of getting something that pairs up. If I am sitting here for five minutes and I'm going into this flow state, this expanded state, and I am feeling. I am so overflowing. I am so abundant. I have so much in my life, I don't even. I can't even give it all away. I don't even know what to do with it. Not only that, it wasn't hard, it wasn't difficult. I didn't work myself to the bone. I Didn't hurt anybody. It was just. It was right for me and I was right for it. And it was already there, just like a cloud of money floating in the sky. And I was standing underneath and it decided to rain on me and picked me. And I say thank you, I receive, I accept, okay, I'm describing something and I'm using visuals, but really I'm trying to get you to feel what it's like. And there's so many feelings packed into that. You know, just like awe, gratitude, fullness, strength. I can carry this ownership. That's all packed in now. I just did that feeling. That feeling is now part of me. It's never going away. It's in me forever. And people who believe in souls and spirits will say, every experience we have becomes part of who we are. Right? People who don't believe are going to say, every experience we have becomes locked into part of our cellular memory, perhaps our neural network. It's in me, though, for however long you want to say it lasts in life or afterlife and through all the lives. My job is to create those feelings that I want to use to change me. I want to do it every day. Because most of us, we live in what I call a reactive state. Something happens, we respond. Something happens, we respond. I want to feel rich, but I can't until I get a new client. I want to feel rich, but I can't until my boss gives me a raise. So I'm waiting on the outside world to somehow bring stuff together so I can feel a certain way. In the meantime, what I'm feeling is I don't have it. What is the world? I just stepped a moment into my future. What is the world feeling that I don't have it? The world's going, okay, you don't have it. Tell me when you want to change that. And we default. We fall forward in this kind of default until the moment we say, here, I feel it first. So I have a whole world of language for this in my teachings, I call it preaction as opposed to reaction. I like responding instead of responding. So I'm pre acting and I'm pre spawning. I do this daily and I'm actually building an entire part of myself now. One other piece to this is I'm going to create eventually what I call an energetic emotional blueprint for my life. There's a non physical part of us and a physical part of us, right? There's a black and a white and an up and a down and a left and a right. There's a Non physical and a physical. And you can't just pretend one is unavailable until you die. It's. There is part of you right now. So I want us to fully use the non physical part of us. And I always say it's like an architect, you want to build a house, you just throw all the lumber down and tell people, go to work what you're going to get. You have an architect and they go, here are the plans, Here you go. Great. Now we know what to build. So the pre action, the non physical work, the flow dreaming work I do is building the blueprint so that as I kind of lurch forward every moment in my life, the stuff that comes to me goes. Part of the blueprint? Yes, not part of the blueprint. Bounce. Yep. Away it goes. Yep. Okay. So anyway, the technique itself is super simple. It uses guided daydreaming. We drift into flow state and then we start using incredible, intense and beautiful emotion. And that's it. And if you can't see things, if you're not good at visualizing, don't worry about it. If you have, if you're neurodiverse, if you have adhd, if you have a great imagination, if you're like a heavy reader and you can get totally lost in your novel, you're gonna love this. Absolutely love it. It's built for us.
