Fun Fact

The word “zenergy” blends “zen” (a state of calm attentiveness) with “energy” (vigorous exertion of power). This concept aligns with research in cognitive psychology on the state of “flow,” first described by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. Interestingly, neuroscience research using fMRI scans has shown that during flow states, the prefrontal cortex (responsible for self-reflection) becomes less active, while brain regions associated with concentration and performance light up. This explains why people in a state of zenergy often report losing track of time and self-consciousness, fully immersed in their task with a sense of effortless control.
