Flow applies to a spiritual journey in numerous ways. Ways such as how one loses his or her ego along the journey; the act of being aware but not knowing you are aware; and becoming completely involved with your actions.
During a spiritual journey one begins to lose focus on themselves, becoming less egocentric and focusing more on the others around them and the journey that still awaits them all. they make personal connections with those persons traveling alongside them and continue to build a relationship as the journey continues. By becoming less egocentric, the person is also able to be completely engaged in the environment they are in and reflect on the blessings they have been given in life and letting their emotions "flow".
as stated by Tom Turner on page 254, an actor is very capable knowing that he is aware of his actions and the situation at hand, but if he were to be able to be aware that he was aware of his actions then the situation at hand would interrupt the state of conscious flow. This kind of flow is apparent through spiritual journeys by becoming wrapped up in what is going on at that particular moment, that nothing else matters. This brings us to our last concept of flow: becoming entirely involved with your actions.
Becoming completely involved in ones' actions allows him or her to lose themselves in what is actually taking place. This sense of flow is overtaking the mind and letting what ever happens, happens and what ever is said, said. No thought is meant to take place, feelings and emotions are set free and meant to flow in a natural way.
These brief concepts of flow help to make up ones' spiritual journey by allowing them to become completely engaged in their environment while maintaining a very relaxed composure, allowing them to connect spiritually.
