The Elements of Work
Practical applications of nature-based systems for life skills development and enhanced performance
“It is when we act freely, we become more than what we were." Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow psychology of optimal human experience
“Optimum productivity extends naturally from balancing the elements within, it begins with learning to breathe effectively and then coordinating how we move with the breath.” Diana Pharr, Developer Performance Magic, Basic Practice
Performance Magic
Flow-state, synchronicities, magic and emergence
Performance Magic is a Basic Practice that realigns seven movements we each perform daily with the experience of flow-state commonly referred to as being in the zone. Flow state was introduced to the West by the psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1970s who described it as the “optimal human experience”. Earlier, In the 1950s the “unexpected coincidences and emergent discoveries” associated with being in the flow or zone were described as “synchronicities” by Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung. Such occurrences have been a part of the human experience for a very long time and continue today amongst people from cultures that have retained their ancestral approach to tasks. To the ancients, magic was an extension of moving in harmony with the place where everything connects at the deepest level of nature. When the individual connects with that place they advance into enhanced productivity. Scientists are moving toward this idea in their discussion of a unified field as the foundation of nature where everything connects.
