At one stage in our lives as individuals we must have experienced a flow state. A cyclist pedalling through heavy wind with little effort, a doctor perfectly aligning with a patient, or a sales person carrying out their duty out of body experience. These are few scenarios of people carrying out their duty while in flow. In a simple term, flow is a really great experience of being human.

There are no specific proves to propose that microdoses of psychedelics can prompt flow states, but it is well known that mild doses can alter the function of the brain, in ways similar to the one witnessed in flow states. Research records that mild doses of psychedelics makes brain wave to drift more towards alpha oscillations, which is also witnessed in the evolution to a flow state. Psychedelics mimic the neurotransmitter serotonin when they enter the brain. It is a generally known fact serotonin is located in higher positions in flow states. The same way, psychedelics raises the level of dopamine in the brain, also a neurotransmitter found in higher positions in flow state.

Feasibly is the ability of psychedelics to suppress the DMN which can give room for the brain to make exclusive connections between fields who don’t regularly communicate. It is important for permitting flow state to take place. Considering the fact we know that mild doses of psychedelics can prompt similar effect to a flow state in the brain, it is probable that a regular microdosing plan will initiate the change of our knowledge in the direction of flow.
