In this edition of Weekly Mind Watering, we’ll explore how microdosing can amplify your ability to access and sustain flow states.
If you’re ready to harness the power of flow states while unlocking new levels of creativity, productivity, and growth, this one’s for you!
What is a Flow State?
A flow state, also known as being “in the zone,” is a mental, physical, and spiritual state characterized by complete immersion, focus, and fulfillment in the present moment. While some people enter into flow states intentionally, most find themselves “in the zone” entirely by accident. A heightened sense of concentration, creativity, and productivity seems to wash over us, providing a temporary but powerful boost that can improve everything from problem-solving to spiritual wellness. A growing sense of joy, fulfillment, and positivity seems to spontaneously blossom in our hearts and minds, empowering us to reach new levels of introspection, creativity, and personal growth. We find time streaming by as we experience effortless control over the task or activity we’re engaged in. All of this and more describes what is commonly called a flow state. When paired with a microdosing regimen, the perks of flow states compound, setting the stage for top-notch performance, productivity, self-expression, and spiritual development.

Five Tips for Finding Your Flow
# 1: Set Clear Goals
The first step on any successful journey is identifying what you hope to accomplish.
Writing down your goals is a great way to bring your goal into reality.
So whether you’re seeking out flow states to enhance your mindfulness, deepen your relationships, or improve your performance or productivity, take some time to write it down.
# 2: Ditch Distractions
This one is pretty simple.
Distractions are all around us these days, and they can range from tough to impossible to ignore – especially when trying to tap into a higher state of consciousness.
So next time you’re chasing a flow state, make sure you turn off the TV, toss your cell phone in the next room, and anything else you need to achieve optimal focus.
# 3: Cultivate Calm
A calm, centered state of mind is essential for harnessing the power of your microdose to propel you into immersive flow states.
Pair your microdose with practices like deep breathing, meditation, or mantras to calm your thoughts, feelings, and body.
# 4: Partner with Powerful Plants
Psilocybin isn’t the only plant that can propel you into an enriching flow state.
Plants like Ashwaganda, Sacred Lotus Pollen, and Reishi Spores can elevate the impact of your mushroom microdose, allowing you to dive deeper into your mind, body, and spirit to spark higher states of consciousness.
# 5: Embrace the Journey
Remember that while your ability to access flow states can – and will – improve with practice, there’s never a guarantee that you’ll reach the state of mind you’re seeking every time.
Instead of getting frustrated with the hit-or-miss nature of flow states, seize the opportunity and reflect on your wins and express gratitude for your hard work.
When the time is right, you’ll find yourself immersed in the Flow!
