Podcasts about flow state

Manifesting has been turned into a social media vending machine: think it, post it, get it. Spoiler alert: the universe is not Uber Eats. In this episode, Nicole goes full curious skeptic with Colette Baron-Reid, internationally respected intuitive, oracle expert, and bestselling author—to reclaim manifesting from influencer fluff and bring it back to what it actually is: alignment over attachment, being over chasing, partnership over control. This is not about “good vibes only” or visualizing a yacht and waiting for it to dock. It's about who you're becoming, how you're showing up, and what you're rehearsing every single day—consciously or not. What We Get Into: Why performative spirituality cheapens real intuition (and why it feels so off) The truth bomb: you don't manifest what you want—you manifest what you are Why attachment to outcomes kills trust, joy, and momentum How curiosity + gratitude open the door to synchronicity The science behind perception, focus, and your brain's internal “sorting system” Colette's Art of Manifesting practice: a meditative drawing method using circles and flowy lines to rewire patterns and co-create with intention Destiny vs. free will—and why it's not either/or Why manifesting doesn't eliminate pain or challenge, but can radically transform how you experience your life Bottom line: manifesting isn't a magic trick—it's a practice. You don't get to control the universe, but you do get to control how you show up, what you rehearse, and what you're available for… and that's where the real power (and real transformation) lives.

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company and Fatty15. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, performance coach Natalie Hummel reframes what it truly means to be a high performer—arguing that excellence isn't built through discipline, talent, or mindset alone, but through nervous system mastery. Natalie explains how fear, pressure, and self-sabotage are not problems to eliminate but sensations to build capacity for, and why separating sensation from story is the key to performing with ease under stress. Together, we will explore identity, upper limits, resilience, flow states, and what high performance looks like in everyday life. This conversation offers a grounded, practical, and deeply human approach to performance—one rooted in presence, self-mastery, and the courage to feel what most people avoid.

Este no es un episodio para escuchar de fondo.Es un episodio para cerrar un año con verdad y empezar el próximo sin autoengaños.Si sentís que 2025 te pidió más coraje del que pensabas tener, este episodio es para vos.Este año fue de cierres.De decisiones incómodas.De soltar versiones que funcionaban, pero ya no nos representaban.En este episodio especial de fin de año comparto algunas de las acciones más BOLD que tomé —incluso cuando “todo iba bien”— y le doy voz a la comunidad: oyentes que se animaron a mandar sus propios audios contando decisiones reales, sin filtro, sin pose y sin discurso armado.No hay frases lindas.Hay verdad.Qué significa realmente tomar decisiones por vos y no por el aplauso externoPor qué soltar algo que funciona puede ser el acto más honesto del añoCómo pedir ayuda también es una acción valiente (aunque duela al ego)La importancia de ser más caradura para crear oportunidades realesCómo cerrar un año sin mentirte y encarar el próximo con más claridad y menos miedoEste episodio no es motivación vacía.Es acción. Es honestidad. Es incomodidad.Y lo que incomoda, transforma.Al final, dejo una serie de preguntas profundas para cerrar el año de verdad.No las adelantamos acá a propósito: este episodio se escucha entero o no se escucha.Son preguntas para frenar, incomodarte y decidir desde otro lugar.Si alguna de esas preguntas te movió algo por dentro y te animás a compartirlo, escribime por Instagram. Leo todos los mensajes.Instagram: @romihakim_Gracias a La Casa de las Lámparas (Barcelona) por prestarme la locación para grabar este episodio especial.

Annika Sala lebt zwischen Welten: geboren in Mexiko, verwurzelt in Europa, und jedes Jahr mehrere Monate in China, um Kung Fu zu trainieren. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Disziplin, die sich nicht wie Zwang anfühlt, sondern wie Freiheit. Über Stille, die Klarheit schafft. Über Schmerz als Lehrer — und darüber, wie Struktur den Geist beruhigt und den Weg sichtbar macht.Annika erzählt, warum sie ihren Komfort bewusst reduziert hat, wie sie Kung Fu ohne Sprache lernt und weshalb „Zuhause“ kein Ort ist, sondern ein Zustand im Herzen. Es geht um den Mut, sich von Erwartungen zu lösen, um die Rolle von Frauen in der Filmwelt, und um eine neue Definition von Disziplin: als Kunst, ein ewiger Schüler des Lebens zu bleiben.Eine Episode über Fokus, innere Ruhe und die Frage, wie man in einer lauten Welt integer bleibt.

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Brandon Epstein, a high-performance coach and author who works with elite athletes, UFC champions, and founders to unlock flow states and overcome subconscious limitations. In their chat, Brandon shares what happens when outward success no longer brings inner peace, and how the stories we inherit about worth, responsibility, and identity drive anxiety and burnout.Brandon opens up about his own transformation: from college football player to serial entrepreneur, to healer and mindset coach. They talk about the power of visualization, gratitude, and stillness as tools for true transformation, and why self-acceptance, not more hustle, is often the missing piece in unlocking lasting clarity and energy. Episodes Here Brandon: Website | The Success Code Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | Instagram

I've spent 20+ years leading remote teams—first as an EVP at DreamWorks and a VP at 20th Century Fox and then as a 3x tech CEO.  Along the way I learned that what actually makes remote work successful isn't what most people focus on…and I picked up some amusing stories that illustrate these learnings.I run a community of 34K productivity-minded people in The Sukha and I've heard your name from some of them. I'd love to join you on Becoming Parents - Birth Stories and Birthwork Wisdom to share the unexpected lessons from Hollywood and tech—things that remote workers and leaders rarely hear but need to know. I run a remote working community and I've studied the last 6 years about Flow States, tips and tricks to maintain focus while working from home. Sukha is the focus app for remote work.I'm having my first child (son/IVF) in November and this summer I am sharing lessons I've learned along the way.www.thesukha.co/media has fun content about my journey, things I can speak to with intelligence and humor, etc. etc.I run a remote working community and app.FIND HIM HERE:www.TheSukha.coSteven@TheSukha.cohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-puri/FIRST INTERVIEW JULY 23, 2025:https://youtu.be/MdaQvbSP29ohttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1HHWiUocqbrciYlSRXQuw9?si=gsNjqcY3R0-Aln-3RzWmOw

What really keeps the brain sharp as we age — and what quietly puts it at risk?In this episode of the Ageless Athlete Podcast, host Kush Khandelwal speaks with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist, physician, and strength athlete, about the science of cognitive reserve and why long-term brain health depends on challenge, learning, and effort — not comfort or flow.Flow states feel rewarding, but as Dr. Wood explains, they don't create the kind of stimulus the brain needs to adapt over decades. Instead, the brain thrives when it's pushed to learn new skills, navigate uncertainty, and stay engaged through physical movement, mental effort, and diversified identity.This conversation connects neuroscience, exercise science, and psychology in a practical, accessible way — especially for adults who care about aging well, staying mentally sharp, and maintaining performance into midlife and beyond.

Tief unter der Wasseroberfläche beginnt für Freitauch-Weltrekordler Tom Sietas eine zweite Heimat – ein Ort ohne Geräusche, ohne Zeit, ohne Luft, aber voller Klarheit. In dieser Folge von From Done To Dare spricht Tom mit Arne darüber, wie er über 10 Minuten die Luft anhält, warum Atmung das direkte Steuerpult für unser Nervensystem ist und wie wir unter maximalem Druck ruhig und handlungsfähig bleiben können. Es geht um Angst und Mut, um Kontrolle und Loslassen, um Identität jenseits von Leistung und darum, wie wir durch bewusste Atmung Stress reduzieren, Resilienz aufbauen und uns selbst wieder näher kommen. Außerdem erzählt Tom, welche Rolle sein Bruder, seine Kinder und sein Buch „Deine Atmung ändert alles“ in seiner eigenen Entwicklung gespielt haben – und welche einfachen Atemtools du sofort im Alltag anwenden kannst.

Steven Puri (20+ years leading teams at DreamWorks/20th Century Fox, 3x tech CEO, The Sukha founder w/ 34K community) shares Hollywood/tech secrets: Flow states (Csikszentmihalyi-inspired: Lose time, high-quality work, feel energized), music (60-90 BPM non-vocals for entry), distraction blocks (phone/sites as dopamine traps), boundaries (set upfront to avoid burnout), and failure as growth (learn from flops, not dwell). For ND young adults grinding focus/anxiety, parents/OTs fostering habits, or allies building hybrid teams, this ramble's your toolkit—ADHD inattentive insights, Pomodoro tweaks, no fluorescent drudgery. From engineer roots (IBM parents) to Sukha app (free week trial at thesukha.co), it's healthy high-performance without the grind.

What if the “zone” that athletes and musicians talk about is the same state that lets mediums connect with Spirit? In this solo episode, Sarah dives into flow state—that feeling of being locked in, tuned up, and fully present—and explores how it opens the door to intuition, higher consciousness, and mediumship. Drawing on her background as a professional musician, Sarah breaks down what flow feels like in the body, why it seems to bend time, and how that sweet spot of focus + ease raises your vibration enough to hear, sense, and feel Spirit more clearly. In this episode, Sarah unpacks: What “flow state” actually is (beyond the buzzword) How being in the zone helps you tune into your intuition and Spirit Why overthinking kicks you out of flow—and what to do instead Simple practices to slip into flow more often in everyday life How to use creativity, play, and presence as a bridge to the other side If you've ever felt “on a roll” creatively, lost track of time doing something you love, or wondered how to quiet your mind enough to connect with Spirit, this episode is your invitation to start treating flow as a doorway—not just a nice feeling. ✨ You don't have to force your connection with Spirit. You just have to find your way into the zone. “You have to believe that it's possible to connect to the other side. You have to believe that you're feeling energy, that you're sensing energy.” “We are not meant to be in flow all the time, because then our flow doesn't change and it doesn't evolve.” “Notice when you're in flow. I guarantee it has something to do with being in the present moment and appreciating how good you are at doing what brings you joy.”  Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's seven conditions for flow Drexel University study on creative flow, Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

John and Steven continue their discussion. They talk about why relationships matter so much in life and business, not just with others, but also with yourself. Steven explains how social media steals your time, why staying true to your goals is so important, and how the Sukha app helps people focus and get into a flow state. In Part 1, Steven shared his journey to Hollywood and leaving it all behind, starting over from scratch, and building The Sukha Company. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Importance of relationships in life and business [01:02] - The value of having a good relationship with yourself  [04:04] - Social media distraction explained [07:00] - Is Steven going to write a book?

How do you have the relationship with yourself that allows you to affect the world around you in the way in which you want to affect it?" "We all have something great inside us, and the question of this lifetime is, are you going to get it out or not?" "If you want to be great yourself, you should be an individual contributor … but if you want to be a leader, then you need to look at everyone that you lead and say, 'What is their greatness? Okay, what are the conditions that they need to express that?' And then you're responsible for that." "Create the experiences, and it's not about how much you spend on it either. It can honestly be something as simple as a walk around the neighborhood with your kid, but you're intentional about it, intentional with the discussion you're having. It's those kinds of things that stick." "Do something, man. Move the world forward."

Have you ever moved through your day on autopilot – checking boxes, getting things done, but barely feeling present? Spending too much time in your head can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, and out of sync with what brings you joy. Dr. Caitlin Hoops is a physician and hula-hoop artist who believes that flow state is the gateway to presence, focus, and calm. She first experienced being in flow while hula hooping, and it completely changed every aspect of her life.

Congratulations, you've reached the final day of your detox! Today, we solidify your gains with the Focus Architect Review. The challenge now isn't focus, but sustainability. We'll review the tangible shifts in your attention and create a final Long-Term Focus Blueprint. This practice locks in your new capacity for superior performance, ensuring that your mastery over the Dopamine Cycle remains your greatest, most enduring personal advantage. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

This is the most critical day: Flow State Ignition. You've built four powerful individual tools, and now we are chaining them together into one seamless sequence. By layering the Mudra, Breath, Affirmation, and Chakra focus, you dramatically accelerate the myelination of your focus pathways. This integration process ensures that the shift from fragmented attention to a state of Deep Work becomes an effortless, automatic reflex that you can trigger on demand.

"If you are someone who is not from an entrepreneurial background, doesn't understand that world, you are in for fights like you've never had." "If you align your boat with the current, it carries you forward. It magnifies your efforts, and you go further and faster." "Once you've gotten in control of your day and you have that good feeling, you don't want to give it up. You're like I can actually do what I want to do." "We build this app without being paid, because we're like, the world would be better if more people got into flow and could do the thing that they are capable of doing." "I'd like to think that I've done enough dumb things in my life that now I'm really focused on doing a couple things well, helping people do what they can do, and want to do." "It's nice for folks to feel like when they have a concern that somebody (business) not only hears it (their issues), but does something about it. In a lot of companies that never happens. They're making money. They don't care." "You can tell by the referral rate when people like what they see and when they don't."

Today, we stop relying on fleeting motivation and tap into the core of willpower. Distraction is often simply the path of least resistance, requiring significant energy to overcome. Our energetic focus on the Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus) cultivates a strong, steady inner fire. This is the source of self-discipline, giving you the internal strength required to push through the initial discomfort of high-value work and make your commitment to focus truly non-negotiable.

One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time.Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state.Host Flora Lichtman sits down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience.Guests:Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the rock band Phish. Dr. Greg Appelbaum is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

On Day 4, we create an automatic, zero-friction anchor for focus. The moment you feel the urge to procrastinate, you need an instant counter-move. By integrating the Hakini Mudra—the Gesture of Concentration—you give your body a simple, non-verbal command to 'Lock in.' This physical cue significantly shortens the transition time from a distracted state to a powerful Deep Work block, making attention a predictable reflex. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.

On Day 2, we tackle the internal monologue. True, effortless focus begins with identity. If you constantly tell yourself you're easily distracted, your brain works hard to prove you right. Today, we're using the power of affirmation to embed a new self-image into your subconscious. Get ready to release the belief that focus is hard, and anchor into the truth: 'I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower,' shifting your internal identity away from effort and toward effortless alignment."

Today, we use powerful visualization techniques to bypass the limitations of your current attention span. You will mentally map the feeling of laser focus, activating the same neurological pathways that fire during successful deep work. This practice immediately begins the rewiring process by showing your brain what consistent attention feels like.
