Butterfly Emerges: Turning Practicing a Musical Instrument into Flow Experiences, and into Loving Bliss?, Transformation of Neurophysiology

How to turn practicing a musical instrument into remarkable 'flow: the psychology of optimal experience' experiences, and as a way to generate richly qualities of loving bliss {vis-a-vis ecstasy - MDMA} naturally? The relaxation response can help, and simply practicing can grow or develop the focus aspect of practicing, but this isn't loving bliss {in the way that some of Mozart's arias, and contra dance with contra dance music can elicit these neural cascades of enjoyment with great regularity for me}. For me, in general, this is a question of the transformation of one's own neurophysiology through engagement with code.


*

Practicing involves an output (like a computer output, where a computer is an input-output device) of musical notation (code which I'm reading from paper, or which I've memorized), for me, with considerations of expressiveness, execution, etc. to shape something musically.

I write about how we might elicit loving bliss naturally, in part, so that you, who reads this, might begin to explore eliciting it for yourself, as you want.
