Welcome to the Emergent Flow Page!

Have you ever witnessed those moments when life seems to be creating a flow of events favoring the efforts of an individual or even an entire team? Maybe you have experienced this at a personal level. That point where you and what you are doing are totally aligned.

This experience is often expressed as being in the Zone or in Flow. This experience is also expressed in the terms of surrendering to or giving oneself over to the experience.

While the first sentence is approximatley correct from a micro view of Flow. The second sentence is WAY OFF.

From a macro view of Flow, The Zone is the experience of EMBODIED CONGRUENCE, a single, state expression whose main purpose is to remind us that with focused effort we can engage a much broader experiential State.

A STATE OF EXPRESSION THAT IS BUILT INTO THIS EXISTENCE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FREE WILL!

We are all experiencing Flow at continually varying levels. The variations become smaller and the ability to navigate Flow becomes greater as we eliminate incongruences and align ourselves with our purpose.

A runner may train for months, building their strength and endurance, and be fully capable of completing the race, but it is the runner who becomes completely congruent as a runner with the run (not surrendering to the run) that will Flow easily into Embodied Congruence.

As you have probably witnessed, that same runner may face a moment of doubt (an incongruent thought) and they fall out of the 'Zone.' At the competitive level, this often costs the athlete the win.

Engaging with Flow at this level, as with the competitive athlete, requires us to take ownership and responsibility of our actions.

The experiences, observations, theories and models from a lifetime of Flow exploration are boiled down to their most basic components in the Emergent Flow Courses, enabling easier navigation and experiences in Flow.

If you are willing to take on the ownership and responsibility of your actions, it would be an honor to train and guide you and concurrently explore Flow with you.

Incongruence: The Root of Our Pain Points & Blindspots

It's tough to face our incongruences. They are behaviors we have that do not represent who we truly are. It is easier to focus on responding externally or by automating our response, which ultimately prevents us from understanding how we have contributed to the external event. In the short term they may have served a tactical purpose. In the long term they become part of our strategy and integrate into our identity, resulting in Pain Points due to repetitive Emotional, Mental and Physical stress ('EMP repetitive stress injury') or Blind Spots due to minimizing and automating our EMP responses.
