State Of Flow: Chris Liebing

/in /by

“Flow” is a scientifically recognized state of mind where a person is completely focused and immersed in what they’re doing- All time seems to stop, the whole world seems to disappear, and the person is performing and creating at their peak levels. Top performance athletes, engineers and especially your favorite music artists all try to do whatever they can to achieve the State of Flow. Although everyone has their own method to achieve “flow”, factors such as creative workspaces, learning beyond their craft, physical/mental well being, feedback/self evaluation on work, and resting time- help all artists create their best work.

With a career spanning over 3 decades long, German techno legend Chris Liebing talks with SIX AM about how he achieves his flow state, what he does to maintain overall balance in a life filled with clubs and traveling, and what he’s doing to prepare for his upcoming performance at Seismic Dance event.

Techno Nirvana: Your Top Tracks and Guide for Yoga and Techno

/in /by

Yoga and techno — an unexpected duo that can you give the best of both worlds: dance and inner peace. By definition, yoga is a Hindu theistic system of physical postures, breathing techniques, as well as meditation — and, from the teachings of Buddha, the discipline of yoga can lead to spiritual freedom — spiritual freedom that we know as “Nirvana”. Ironically, within the scene of techno, rave culture, clubbing culture, and so on forth, Nirvana is not an unknown concept on the dancefloor — in fact, within these various realms of dance and freedom, Nirvana is physically experienced through psychedelics, shrooms, MDMA, alcohol, and various unhealthy practices.

So, all this to say, is that techno and yoga do make sense ironically — however; on this search for Nirvana, we’re not going to partake in a culture of pill-popping and pre-gaming, but rather a healthier way of achieving Nirvana.

Tips to Be More Eco-Friendly When You Go Out

/in /by

It’s no brainer that when attending any kind of music festival that efficiency is the main goal for most, but sometimes things that are quick fixes can also be detrimental to the environment, and even to your wallet. The more cash and products that are bought and used, the less likely you are able to sustain them for future keep – in this case future festivals. BBC Earth reported noted that per UK festival goers is the equivalent of over 2.7kg (almost 6lbs!) of waste per day. Another article by FLOWATER also reported that in conjunction to 52% of Americans attending a live music event per year, the majority of these events sell single-use plastic water bottles – these festivals can contribute to 107 tons of waste, and only 20% of it are recycled.

Colorado Decriminalize Mushrooms

Colorado Might Be the Next State to Decriminalize “Magic” Mushrooms

/in /by

It wasn’t just the painful tumors or medication that made Alan Floyd sick. It was the idea that death could come at any time, a brutal fact of his condition that came to dominate his days and grew into night terrors during his sleep.

“It was this monstrous, impending doom of death hanging over me,” Floyd said.

But Floyd found a way to interrupt the cycle of rumination and fear by experimenting with “magic” mushrooms. He’s one of many patients and spiritual seekers in Colorado who have sought healing and relief from mushrooms and other psychedelic substances, despite a federal prohibition.

Although recent research showing the healing potential of these drugs has spurred renewed interest, mushrooms and naturally derived psychedelics like mescaline, ibogaine, and dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, have been used by people for centuries. It’s only in the past 50 years that they were considered illegal.
