In positive psychology, flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time.
Named by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi in 1975, Source: Wikipedia
心流，由米哈里·齐克森提出，是指人们身心投入到某种活动过程中所产生的一种积极的体验，它使人忘却时间，获得高度兴奋感及充实感。这种体验一般在人们高度自动化（Automatic）进行某些活动时出现，如读书，听音乐，玩游戏等，其中听音乐是最具有普遍性的一种。这其实和东方的“禅”（ZEN）有共通之处，个体无欲、无求、无我，专注于当下，以此获得一种积极愉悦的体验。
