This is actually some really good stuff that is extremely helpful for me right now. Thank you.

it's fascinating as well as useful isn't it?

for me, taiji/qigong/meditation is "the way" to try to have the flow state faster and proportionately more of the time. because meditation puts the brain in the right waves and lets the "observer" self-regulate. qi flow feeling is like a "hack", it seems, to make that easier still.

but from the research, there are many other ways/triggers that also fit different personalities, activities, more.

also, "group flow state" .... like for sports teams or work teams or other groups ... has more variables.

The Hungarian Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi originated an excellent piece on "Flow" and elements on how it can/may be experienced within the activity that generates it i.e. one personal path and how joy, bliss can be central to that experience. More than just physical enjoyment but a unity of frequency, energy and vibration with union of bod, spirit and mind

He is one of the researchers that Kotler cites, I believe.

It seems the knowledge is flowering rapidly.

I would claim MA folks know some (much?) of it…
…but likely not for “group flow”

…but likely not for “group flow”

It is quite the opposite for some qigong methods where the concept of "qi field" is part and parcel of "group practice". It may be not well known but the beenfit is for all.
By this I mean that e.g. you have 10 people who are in this "qi field" and they have varied and unique ways for doing the same practice but in this group practice the one with the less duration and frequency (of practice) get to "accumulate some benefits that strengthens his/her 'energy profile" and hence "experience" a "jump start" that invigorates their own understanding and vibration for wellbeing.

MMe Yang Meijun in her Dayan Qigong Method understood this concept as part of her qigong support groups and the recently modern descriptive of Hunyuan methodology, where group energy is multiplied by alll members being of the same mind, method and discipline!

That sounds cool to me

But maybe not as doable for my work team or sports teams
