This study interviewed established Tai Chi practitioners (at least five years of experience) about their experience of flow. The principal authority on flow, Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990), observed that flow is an optimal experience with benefits including increased adaptability, creativity, and intuition. The concepts of peak experience (Maslow, 1968), peak performance (Privette, 1983), and the zone (Murphy and White, 1995) were compared to flow.

520 $a This study interviewed established Tai Chi practitioners (at least five years of experience) about their experience of flow. The principal authority on flow, Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990), observed that flow is an optimal experience with benefits including increased adaptability, creativity, and intuition. The concepts of peak experience (Maslow, 1968), peak performance (Privette, 1983), and the zone (Murphy and White, 1995) were compared to flow.
520 $a The heuristic method (Moustakas, 1990) as modified by Echenhofer (2002) was utilized to analyze the data. The heuristic model maintains that the researcher's direct experience in the topic is crucial for a full explication of the topic and incorporates the subjective experiences of both the researcher and the participants. The researcher's own experience with flow has been informed by Tai Chi practice, as well as other activities such as running, tennis, and being a therapist. Open-ended interviews with five practitioners were conducted with the primary research question: "What is the experience of flow?"
520 $a Of the nine characteristics of flow (clear goals, immediate feed back, balance between challenge and skills, merging of action and awareness, lack of distraction, unconcern for failure, absence of self-awareness, altered sense of time, and autotelic experience) reported by Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990), most or all of the participants appeared to report experiences supporting these prior findings except for the characteristics: clear goals and absence of self-awareness. However, three of the five participants of this study appeared to acknowledge some absence of self-awareness as an aspect of flow, but only one participant appeared to acknowledge clear goals in flow.
520 $a The findings of this study suggested that peak experience was qualitatively different from flow, with peak experience being more intense and more rare than flow. The participants' flow experiences were found to be similar to Maslow's (1970) "plateau experience" with a sense of calmness and volition. The findings also support the view that peak performance and the zone typically refers to competitive standards while flow does not. The participants identified flow with their experience of "chi" (vital energy). The clinical implications of flow enhancing personal growth and therapeutic alliance are discussed.
