In The Creative Spirit by Goleman, Kaufman and Ray, the authors say that when creativity is in full fire, people can experience what athletes and performers call the white moment. Everything clicks and our skills are so perfectly suited to the challenge that we seem to blend with it. Everything feels harmonious, unified and effortless.
The white moment is what some psychologists call flow. The one requirement is that our skills so perfectly match the demands of the moment that all self-consciousness disappears. If our problem-solving skills are not up to the challenges we face, we experience anxiety not flow. When skills and challenge match, then flow is most likely to emerge.
By emptying ourselves of our smaller, individual mind, and by losing our intense self-consciousness, we are able to tap into this larger, more creative, universal mind.
This is where meditation and creating meet and why meditation is so practical.
