Stabilized Flow Leadership
Research Origins and Initiatives

During my Ph.D. research at the Transformative Technology Lab in Silicon Valley, I developed the underpinnings of Stabilized Flow. This methodology was further refined in thousands of hours of client work both prior, during and after my time at the lab. Then my method further developed while continuing my research on human motivation with Roger Walsh, M.D., professor of psychiatry at UC Irvine.

Conjunct to my research endeavors, the synthesis of what I’ve developed in the way I approach my trainings and client work, was additionally highly influenced by my studies with the late Dr. Daniel P. Brown of Harvard University, who followed my meditation practice in a 1:1 and group format. Furthermore, I am still on a research pursuit as I am currently collecting more data, both objective as well as subjective case studies on my Stabilized Flow method from an integral framework.

Academic Origins of Stabilized Flow

We suggest three additional stages to postpostconventional adult development, and postulate the framework to be a beneficial lens into motivation while living in a crisis-aware world. We bridge integrative cross-cultural contemplative science with Western psychology and neuroscience for a new approach to human motivation. This has the potential to offer a cross-cultural and cross disciplinary additions. Recognizing the potentials and benefits of higher eudemonic motives might play some small part in motivating the kinds of individual and collective changes that will be essential species survival in a world at risk.

We found Stabilized Flow differs in several ways from the pleasurable, task-specific functionality of flow state. Stabilized Flow as a motivational axiom is associated with nondual states rather than trance (temporary) states, with heightened rather than reduced awareness, with deconstruction rather than reduced awareness of the self-sense, and with postconventional development stage growth. The academic term we use for Stabilized Flow in this paper is Transpersonal Spontaneity, which is postulated to be a higher stage in postpostconventional developmental psychology from this cross-cultural integrative contemplative framework.

Continuing Research Endeavors of Stabilized Flow

Overall in the last 10 years of study I have learned the real distinctions between states, traits, structures, and stages of consciousness and mind. Also, how these varieties of development and experience correlate to networks, structures and functions in the brain. I, along with the support of my colleagues and mentors, have identified gaps between Western values in performance and motivation with contemplative philosophy of mind and seek to fill this gap with my continuing research of Stabilized Flow.
