Flow State and Creativity Insights

Flow state occurs at the alpha-theta border line in the brain, where creativity and insight thrive; the brain bounces between different states but always returns to this border line. The alpha-theta border is typically only accessible through years of meditation practice. Creativity is associated with gamma waves, which are neurological markers of 'aha' moments and only occur when the brain is in theta state. It is rare to be in the theta state while awake, making the flow state crucial for fostering continuous insight and creativity.
