I have experienced flow many times in my life. But the one time I really want to hold on to it is when I'm on stage. When you are "flowing" on stage, it is magnified, because everyone is witnessing this great event. You are so focused and out of your head, which is exactly how good acting should be, so when it happens you have acheived the ultimate. The sad thing is, you can't make flow happen. I am always looking for flow when I perform, and I know you can't make it happen, but I feel I need to. Actors do exercises to try to allow flow to happen easier. Relaxing and meditating may be some ways to stop being so conscious, but unfortunately flow is a mysterious force that you can't just create. I love flow. I wish I "flowed" every day. I like to think of a really great day as "flowing" really well. If every day flowed it would be a perfect world. Thus I continue to search for the non-exsistent recipe for flow.
