I think I would have preferred to get to the exercises first…then the explanation. This course is probably too wordy for most people. I stuck with it and will use some of the insights I gained.

This is a wonderful course that has been well presented and paced. The blend of theory and practice offers a wholistic approach to embodying the flow state, and the exercises provide opportunities to help guide the listener to feel what that is like. This course is perfect for those wanting to explore their own creativity or for creatives interested in learning how they can support the flow state in their own work. Thank you, Marcus! 🙏🩵

Marcus! Just finished the course! This was an amazing course all round for not only flow state but philosophy behind it, the the practical advice on how to apply this to my life and the history and research that accompanied the great exercises to get into flow. I have found this course very educational and pragmatic, I have applied the steps to get into flow in a few different aspects if my life...cooking, writing, cleaning, accounting...I've found maybe there is different levels of flow? For example when I write it cook it's easy for me to get into a high flow state, but the vibrations are lower when doing something like accounting, haha maybe that's just because | like cooking and writing more as most people would . Thank you very much, I feel inspired and equipped to continue my screen play and take the flow state into many more aspects of my life. Cheers Marcus!

This has been the most engaging and beneficial course I have taken on Insight Timer so far. I have learned so much about flow and how it appears in my life. It has been a truly deep experience and Marcus was very engaging and eager to be helpful the entire time in the classroom notes section. I would recommend definitely emersing yourself in the exercises and sharing for that reason because it's essential for a rich experience!

Amazing course that helped me understand and get in touch with my innate creativity that was so many years buried under the layers of blocks and prohibitions stemming from various and often unknown sources but that were actively alive and getting in the way of expressing myself freely and without fear. The course composition is ideal, giving you just enough theory that you need to understand how flow is a actually a very measurable and solid state rather than something vague and volatile, and showing you a sequence of simple steps to follow and get ever closer to achieving it. Very grateful to you, Marcus, for creating and sharing it with others. Bless your Soul, my Friend, for sharing this spark of raw beauty with others, for showing us how beautiful we actually are, by teaching us to engage more of what we already have inside.
