Annette's three quick tips to have a better chance at finding flow: 1) Relax your tongue/jaw to relax your thoughts. 2) Close your eyes or go to a dark environment to stimulate alpha-brainwaves and then: 3) Listen to and accept thoughts that are sparked by theta-brainwaves.
I was wondering the same 😳😅 I think that, maybe, the speaker assume that playing and listening to music create similar processes in the mind, and/or tries to make people understand how she feels when she plays (and listen to her own) music (and, in all likelihood, enters a state of flow) by having them listening to this music, missing the aspects related to. involvement, challenge, feedback... It was a nice talk but lacked the scientific depth and rigor of Mihaly's talks. He is and will be missed!
I think that she connects relaxation with flow as a preparation to get into flow, but (like you?) I didn't find the exposition very convincing. It might have to do with the fact that the chances to enter a state of flow are distinct between playing music (Satie or something else) and listening to music : the engagement, the challenge to the skills, are different.

Halfway through, I am fascinated by her talk. Great information packed into a short talk. Loved it!
Love her really sincere presentation
This is the best explanation I have seen regarding flow.
Brilliant! am surprised not enough people have viewed this
Fabulous information, brilliant ideas and gifted musical talent all combine in a positive presentation. Thank you!
Excellent talk!
interesting calming music
Interesting correlation of brain wave ranges with musical tones.
:O
I thought flow is created in a certain condition when our skill matches the challenge. How those two criteria play its roles in this process? Thanks
Exactly
You're correct

Was it a confusion between flow and relaxation?
