Image and Pilgrimage #2 Flow

When looking at Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture, we see the element of flow according to Turner. This idea centers around a feeling of "being in the zone" or extremely focused. When experiencing flow, one is not self conscious of his/her mental state. A personal example of flow for me is when I am in the gym working out. I put my headphones in and everything else kind of disappears. I focus on my lifts and that's really all my world consists of during that time. The flow feeling is awesome and I love when I experience it. Another time I experience flow also occurs when I am listening to music. During worship time at church, I often experience flow. I am indulged in the music and am focused on the words and meanings behind those words. Now that I'm thinking about it, music is a pivotal player in getting me to the flowing state.
