“Mushin” (無心) is a saying derived from Zen Buddhism that literally translates to “mind-without-mind.” Anybody who’s been through a high-stress situation, such as combat, can tell you that when the fists start flying, there is little room for conscious thought. To think when you need to react is a sure-fire way to get yourself killed.
“The mind must always be in the state of flow, for when it stops anywhere that means the flow is interrupted and it is this interruption that is injurious to the well-being of the mind. In the case of the swordsman, it could mean death. When the swordsman faces an opponent, he is not to think of himself, his opponent, or of his enemy’s sword movements. He just stands with his sword which, forgetful of all technique, is ready only to follow the dictates of the subconscious. The swordsman deletes his rational mind from the situation as the wielder of the sword. When he strikes, it is not the man but the sword in the hand of the man’s subconscious that strikes.” Takuan Sōhō.
First coined by Doctor Mihály Csíkszentmihályi in 1975, the term flow state is a modern confirmation of what the ancients have known for millennia; that we perform best when we act intuitively. Also known as getting in “the zone”, people who have experienced flow report an increased level of concentration, losing oneself in a task and deriving intense enjoyment and meaning in one’s work. Research shows that getting into a Flow state can boost productivity by 500% so much so that the Air Force has used artificially induced flow on radar techs and other huge companies spend resources on Flow.
Imagine what great things you can accomplish at the range by harnessing the power of the flow state.
