Part 1. Introduction and Recap: From the Spiral of Connection and Disconnection to Mindful Flow
In my previous article, The Spiral of Connection and Disconnection: Archetypes, Values, and the Journey towards Wholeness, I presented a model proposing that psychological and spiritual growth unfold through an oscillating movement between connection and disconnection. The model portrays a dynamic system in which awareness continuously reorganises itself around three archetypal forces or values -Truth, Courage, and Love. From these core forces, other values emerge in a recursive fashion as they manifest in human interactions.
Each value has both an integrated expression and a shadow form, and our inner work lies in transforming the shadow into its value-oriented counterpart. Through this recursive process, the psyche cultivates wholeness and existential coherence.
For readers new to this model, the following summary outlines its core architecture - the axis of connection and disconnection, the foundational triads of archetypal forces, and the nine developmental levels of intentionality. This overview provides the context for the present chapter, which explores how a state of Mindful Flow can help us become conscious of how best to utilise the Archetypal Spiral model in daily life.
The Axis of Transformation: Connection and Disconnection
Human experience unfolds along a continuum between connection and disconnection - between the felt sense of belonging and the pain of separation. Transformation requires that both movements be honoured. Connection draws us toward integration and flourishing; disconnection reveals the shadow material that requires integration. Together they generate a spiral, non-linear and recursive - through which the individual revisits old themes at increasing levels of complexity and awareness. Each return is not a repetition but a re-organisation: former insights are re-experienced and re-integrated from a wider field of awareness. This movement is consistent with Varela and Depraz’s (2003) phenomenological account of recursive self-organisation, in which consciousness continually renews itself by folding back upon its own operations - a becoming-aware of becoming-aware. In both models, growth is not a straight ascent but a rhythmic self-correction, a living system that deepens coherence each time it turns toward its own process.
The Upward and Downward Spirals
The Upward Spiral of Integration and Flourishing can be conceptualised as a composite vector driven by the core forces of Truth, Courage, and Love, together with the values that unfold from their interaction within the human field of experience. Concretely, Justice/Fairness and Recognition are expressions of Truth; Responsibility and Gratitude are expressions of Courage; and Compassion and Forgiveness are expressions of Love. By navigating and embodying these interrelated virtues, the person experiences alignment between values and action - an integration of awareness, intention, and behaviour that moves the psyche toward coherence and flourishing.
The Downward Spiral of Fragmentation and Chaos, by contrast, is propelled by antivalues - the shadow expressions of those same forces and their derivative virtues. For example, for the Truth vector, Justice/Fairness distorts into Vengeance, and Recognition collapses into Rejection/Validation-dependence. For the Courage vector, Responsibility gives way to Irresponsibility/Over-responsibility, and Gratitude degrades into Entitlement. And for the Love vector, Compassion sinks into Shame/Self-pity, and Forgiveness congeals into Resentment. These shadow patterns unfold downstream from earlier core distortions - such as Truth collapsing into denial, Courage into paralysis or avoidance, and Love into control or enmeshment.
In these states, consciousness contracts into self-protective loops of blame, avoidance, and control - patterns consistent with threat-dominated modes of responding (e.g., the Drama Triangle roles) rather than value-guided agency. This dynamic reflects Gilbert’s (2020) account of the threat-defence system that dominates the mind under stress or shame. Energy becomes trapped in reciprocal narrowing (Vervaeke, 2021) - the mutual tightening of perception and possibility - until awareness is able to reopen and integrate experience.
Values that emerge further along the Spiral cannot be stably embodied if earlier levels have not been sufficiently integrated. For example, Responsibility cannot be properly enacted while Shame remains unresolved, as it tends to collapse agency into either global self-condemnation or overcompensation (over-responsibility). In contrast, proportionate Guilt can support ethical repair and true accountability.
The task of psychological growth is not to abolish disconnection - which may function as a contextually adaptive threat-response - but to learn to move through it consciously. Each turn of the Spiral requires a reconciliation of these polarities: to face Truth without denial, to act with Courage despite fear, and to express Love without manipulation or control.
The Foundational Triads and Archetypal Forces
The three archetypal forces - Truth, Courage, and Love - Each represents not only a distinct value but also a vector of intentionality (Intentionality here refers to the directionality of consciousness - how awareness is oriented toward meaning, value, and purpose in action; in phenomenological terms, it is “consciousness-of” something rather than consciousness as a static state [Husserl, 1913/1983; Varela et al., 1991): Truth reveals, Courage moves, and Love integrates. These forces can manifest as integrated virtues, or they may become distorted into protective shadow roles under threat or fragmentation.
In their integrated expressions, these forces align with the roles of the Empowerment Triangle (D’Angelo, 2019), which fosters conscious, values-guided action. In their distorted forms, they give rise to the Drama Triangle (Karpman, 1968), a survival-based loop of reactivity and disconnection.
These archetypal dynamics can be visualised as follows, illustrating how each core force manifests in both integrated and defensive forms, and how each movement contributes to the psyche’s ongoing reorganisation toward coherence.
Psychological and spiritual maturity involves learning to recognise when one is operating from the shadow roles of survival, and cultivating the capacity to return to the value-driven expressions of these forces. This transformation is not a one-time insight but a recurring movement - one that requires cultivating awareness of these energies in action and choosing consciously how to relate to them in any given moment.
This ongoing awareness practice corresponds to what contemplative and enactive traditions describe as meta-cognition or mindful presence - the ability to witness internal states without over-identifying with them (Varela, Thompson, & Rosch, 1991; Kabat-Zinn, 1994).
Together, these three forces form the axis of transformation around which the Spiral of Connection and Disconnection unfolds. They do not act in isolation but continually interweave, shaping how we perceive, relate, and respond to life.
The Developmental Aspects of the Spiral: Nine Levels of Intentionality
The Spiral describes nine progressive yet recurrent levels of intentionality - distinct value fields through which human consciousness organises its relationship to self, others, and the world represented by the values that emerge from the core values as described earlier.
Each level contains an integrated virtue, a shadow distortion, and a developmental function.These nine levels can be grouped into three developmental triads or triangles corresponding to the growth or therapeutic function they serve.
Together, these three triads trace the movement from self-awareness to ethical relatedness to transpersonal integration, mapping how consciousness evolves toward coherence.
Triangle I: Coming to Terms - Foundation of Awareness
Truth / Acceptance. Phenomenological stance: “I see what is.”Truth initiates awakening by grounding perception in reality. When distorted into denial or projection, it becomes the Persecutor - using blame to avoid self-contact. Therapeutically, this level establishes contact with the real and opens the path to meaning (Frankl, 1963).
Courage. Phenomenological stance: “I act.”Courage is the movement toward truth through faith and effort. Its shadow is paralysis or dissociation, the collapse into Victim or Rescuer roles. Courage builds embodied agency and resilience, translating awareness into action.
Compassion (Love’s expression when it meets suffering). Phenomenological stance: “I feel with and for.”Compassion integrates the previous two forces by meeting suffering with acceptance. When distorted, it becomes over-identification or control through care - the Rescuer pattern that disempowers both self and other. Here, the therapeutic task is to transform shame into acceptance and re-establish connection.
Triangle II: Accountable Relationship - The Ethical Heart
Justice / Fairness. Phenomenological stance: “I discern fairly.”Justice arises when Truth and Love are balanced. Its shadow is vengeance - the projection of moral injury onto the other in the guise of righteousness. Developmentally, this stage restores moral and relational order by holding empathy and accountability together. As Girard (1977) observes, vengeance perpetuates mimetic cycles of retribution, in which violence begets violence; authentic justice, by contrast, requires interrupting this mimetic identification.
Responsibility. Phenomenological stance: “I can respond.”Responsibility embodies conscious agency - the integration of will, care, and courage. Its shadow forms are avoidance and over-control. As I argued earlier in my Shame vs. Guilt blog, shame constricts agency through global self-condemnation, whereas guilt, when integrated, functions as a reparative emotion that supports ethical action and accountability. Responsibility therefore cannot be sustained until shame has been recognised and transformed, allowing the individual to move from self-condemnation to constructive agency.
Forgiveness. Phenomenological stance: “I release and learn.”Forgiveness transforms pain into wisdom. The shadow is resentment - clinging to injury and blocking grief. Therapeutically, this stage frees psychic energy for growth and restores hope (Enright & Fitzgibbons, 2015). Likewise, genuine forgiveness cannot properly take place when the injuring party - or the injuring part within oneself - has not first taken responsibility for the harm caused. Without this step, forgiveness risks becoming premature or self-negating, serving as a defence against conflict rather than a movement toward truth and repair. When accountability precedes release, forgiveness becomes an act of integration rather than avoidance.
Triangle III: Self-Realisation — The Transpersonal Integration
Recognition. Phenomenological stance: “I remember worth.”Recognition stabilises dignity and mutual respect. Its shadow is rejection or dependence on external validation. This level anchors self-worth beyond performance, allowing authentic relationships to flourish.
Gratitude. Phenomenological stance: “I receive and give thanks.”Gratitude transcends need for recognition and opens to the gift of existence (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). This stage also calls for courage, its core foundational force, as it requires the acknowledgement of our dependence and to receive, admitting one’s openness to life’s uncertainty and others. When distorted, it becomes entitlement or indifference. This stage cultivates reverence and joy.
Love / Oneness. Phenomenological stance: “We are one.” Here the spiral culminates in communion - the realisation of non-separation. Its shadow is isolation or spiritual inflation. The task is embodied unity: to recognise self and world as mutually participating in being itself.
When viewed sequentially, the three developmental triads illustrate the Spiral’s ethical and existential logic. To enter Accountable Relationship (Triangle II), one must first Come to Terms (Triangle I) with reality and one’s relationship to it. Likewise, Self-Realisation (Triangle III) becomes possible only when one lives ethically and responsibly with oneself and others. Thus, development unfolds through a spiral of accountability and integration: awareness gives rise to ethics, and ethics matures into unity.
At the centre of the Spiral lies Pure Awareness, the witnessing presence that contains and transcends all levels. This tenth, implicit level is not a destination but the ground from which the whole process unfolds - a dynamic field of reflexivity (Varela, Thompson, & Rosch, 1991).The full structure of the Spiral - including the interactive mapping of archetypal forces, developmental levels, and polarities - can be explored through an online model:

A Field, Not a Ladder
Although the Spiral is presented vertically for clarity, it is not hierarchical in the sense that each value can be accessed at any moment, and development occurs through re-integration rather than linear ascent. When a higher value is touched without the foundation of earlier levels, the result is akin to what is known as "spiritual bypassing" - a term coined by John Welwood (1984) to describe the use of spiritual ideas or experiences to avoid unresolved emotional work. For instance, premature gratitude at surviving an accident used to deny the grief associated with lasting physical disabilities after trauma. True growth means revisiting earlier themes with greater coherence and compassion. This same logic applies to the integration of Responsibility and Shame described earlier; and to Forgiveness without responsibility-taking - higher ethical functions depend on the repair of foundational affective distortions.
The Spiral therefore functions as a map of intentional states, not a ranking of persons. Its motion is cyclical and participatory: each turn integrates Truth, Courage, and Love at a deeper frequency. It is a psychotechnology for orienting awareness within the flux of experience - a means of remembering that we are both the traveller and the path.
Part 2: Mindful Flow as the Experiential Engine of Integration
From Map to Movement
The Spiral of Connection and Disconnection offers a cartography of transformation; Mindful Flow could be defined as the movement through that map. It is the lived, embodied process by which awareness, value, and action align so that life unfolds through us instead of it happening to us. In this sense, Mindful Flow can be seen as the psychotechnology of integration - the means through which the archetypal forces of Truth, Courage, and Love become experiential rather than conceptual.
Where the Spiral describes a phenomenological model of consciousness, Mindful Flow describes its kinematics: how consciousness moves, adapts, and self-organises. It is a condition of presence in which perception and action are dynamically balanced, the organism achieving what philosopher and cognitive scientist Francisco Varela (1996) called “optimal grip” on the world - neither rigid nor chaotic, but exquisitely attuned. In this state, the mind ceases to be merely reflective and becomes enactive: awareness participates directly in reality.
Defining Mindful Flow
The term combines two interdependent processes:
Flow, as described by Csikszentmihalyi (1990), denotes an optimal state of absorption that arises when the challenge of a situation slightly exceeds one’s skill. Time distorts, self-consciousness dissolves, and action feels both effortless and exacting.
Mindfulness, drawn from contemplative psychology (Kabat-Zinn, 2003; Wallace, 2006), adds meta-awareness - the witnessing presence that observes without attachment.
When integrated, these yield Mindful Flow: full engagement with awareness. Flow provides immersion; mindfulness provides orientation. Together they generate the experiential signature of integration - clear, grounded and responsive.
Even small increments in skill or courage can shift the system toward greater balance. As James Clear (2018) notes in his book atomic habits, “a one-degree change” in trajectory - small, consistent adjustments - leads to profound transformation over time. Likewise, practising value-aligned action in small, tolerable doses (such as speaking up in the context of social anxiety) widens one’s capacity for Flow without overwhelming the system.
The Mindful Flow Formula
To express this balance heuristically, the relationship may be represented as:
Mindful Flow = (Challenge × Skill) × Value Congruence × Awareness
This is naturally not a literal equation, but a symbolic way to illustrate interdependence:
Challenge × Skill = Engagement.
The tension between the task’s demands and our capacity sustains attention - Flow as per Csikszentmihalyi (1990) involves an optimal balance of these two variables. If challenge exceeds skill, anxiety arises; if skill exceeds challenge, boredom ensues. Balanced tension generates the vitality of Courage - the life-force moving toward uncertainty.
Value Congruence = Meaning.Engagement alone can become compulsive. Congruence ensures that activity aligns with what truly matters - the orientation of Truth. It transforms doing into right action, bridging external performance and internal coherence. This involves weighing activities in terms of importance relative to one’s value system and what one feels is right.
Awareness = Integration.The witnessing dimension of Love holds experience compassionately, preventing identification with success or failure. Awareness completes the circuit, transforming activity into growth.
Hence, Mindful Flow may be described phenomenologically as engaged awareness guided by values and sustained by presence.
From External Achievement to Internal Congruence
Within the Spiral model, development entails a redefinition of “ability.” In its early, defensive expressions—when consciousness is still organised around the need for safety and belonging - ability is measured by adaptation: meeting external standards of performance or approval that serve as proxies for acceptance. These are the survival-based competencies of the Drama Triangle—ways of maintaining connection through control, compliance, or avoidance.
As consciousness expands, and integration unfolds through Truth, Courage, and Love, ability transforms into congruence: the capacity to act in harmony with one’s deepest values, even when doing so risks disapproval or uncertainty. Flow, when infused with mindfulness, marks this transition - from adaptation to authenticity, from performing safety to embodying coherence.
In ordinary Flow, the athlete, musician, or coder becomes absorbed in the task; but in Mindful Flow, absorption is joined by ethical orientation. The question is no longer How well am I performing? but Am I acting truthfully, courageously, and lovingly?
Mindful Flow can serve as a daily compass for integration by reflecting through the nine values of the Spiral. This involves asking: – Am I seeing clearly, or denying something important? (Truth) – Am I acting despite fear, or avoiding uncertainty? (Courage) – Am I responding with compassion, or shaming myself or others? (Love/Compassion) – Am I discerning fairly, balancing empathy and justice? (Justice) – Am I taking ownership of my choices? (Responsibility) - Am I holding or releasing resentment? (Forgiveness) – Do I recognise my own and others’ dignity? (Recognition) – Am I open to gratitude for what is? (Gratitude) – Do I act from separation or union? (Love/Oneness)
Such questions operationalise the Spiral as a reflective practice - transforming Flow into a process of ethical and spiritual attunement.
This movement from egoic performance to authentic action corresponds to the transition from the Drama Triangle’s defensive roles to the Empowerment Triangle’s creative virtues. The person ceases to perform virtue and begins to embody it.
Presence and Adaptation
Presence stabilises the entire formula. When attention fragments - through distraction, fear, shame, projection, dissociation, etc. - the system loses coherence and falls into what is known as parasitic processing: repetitive loops of self-referential thinking that consume energy without producing optimal adaptation (Vervaeke, 2021). These loops mirror what John Vervaeke (2021) calls “reciprocal narrowing”: threat perception constricts awareness, which further amplifies the threat response embodied by the Drama Triangle roles.
Parasitic processing relates to schemas that originated as adaptive responses to trauma- strategies that were once protective but later become maladaptive. For example, it can be understood through the lens of Life History Theory (Belsky et al., 1991). Under chronic stress or perceived threat, organisms shift from future-oriented (growth) strategies to present-focused (survival) strategies. Attention narrows to immediate risk; exploration and learning are suppressed. In the psyche, this manifests as anxious vigilance, avoidance, or compulsive control - the hallmarks of the Victim and Persecutor positions. The system’s adaptive mechanisms become self-harming; energy that once supported creativity is diverted into maintaining the status quo.
Mindful Flow reverses this process by reinstating awareness in motion. The mind widens, re-engaging with sensory and relational context. Neurologically, parasitic processing corresponds to overactivation of the default mode network (DMN) - the brain system active during self-referential thought and rumination (Raichle et al., 2001). Flow correlates with downregulation of the DMN and increased connectivity between attentional and sensory networks (Ulrich et al., 2014). Psychologically, presence converts rumination into responsiveness - the ability to respond rather than react.
Mindful Flow reopens the time horizon. By anchoring awareness in present experience while orienting toward values that extend beyond the moment, it reinstates a future-oriented strategy of flourishing. The organism remembers that safety is just not avoidance but a state of incoherence or misalignment with a reality where prosperity is a possibility.
From Victimhood to Creation
In the Drama Triangle, the Victim experiences life as something that happens to them. Agency collapses; meaning becomes externally determined. In Mindful Flow, this stance transforms into that of the Creator - one who experiences life as moving through them. Action and awareness merge; effort becomes participation.
This shift does not deny suffering; it reframes it as material for transformation. Each challenge becomes a field in which values can be enacted. The movement from Victim to Creator is thus the existential pivot of the Spiral’s upward motion: the reintegration of Courage into Love and Truth. As the Creator, one recognises that “I can respond” is not an assertion of control but an affirmation of participation.
Flow as Compassionate Presence in Action
Paul Gilbert’s (2020) work on compassion systems describes three core modes of affect regulation that shape how the mind relates to threat, motivation, and connection. The threat system governs survival responses such as fight, flight, or submission; it is activated by danger and underpinned by emotions like anxiety, shame, and anger. The drive system fuels striving and achievement - our pursuit of goals, success, or stimulation - mobilising dopamine and activating pleasure circuits that reinforce doing and winning. In contrast, the soothing system enables safeness, contentment, and connection; it is associated with parasympathetic regulation, oxytocin release, and experiences of warmth, belonging, and care.
These three systems form a dynamic regulatory triangle. When threat dominates, the individual becomes vigilant, defensive, or self-critical. When drive dominates, one may appear high-functioning yet remains trapped in compulsive striving, disconnected from inner rest. The soothing system, however, introduces a restorative balance - it allows the organism to be rather than do, fostering a sense of safeness that permits vulnerability and reflection.
In this light, parasitic processing corresponds to a threat-dominant state: the mind locked in loops of control and avoidance. Ordinary Flow reflects a drive-dominant configuration: high engagement but limited reflection or compassion. Mindful Flow arises when the soothing system becomes integrated with the other two, transforming drive into compassionate presence. In this state, the energy of courage (drive) and the clarity of truth (discernment) are held within the warmth of love (soothing).
When Love joins Courage and Truth - indeed, when all the values of the Spiral are harmonised - the polarity between doing and being dissolves. The athlete plays for the love of the game; the therapist listens not to fix but to fully connect. Action flows through awareness as an expression of care, coherence, and authenticity.
From an internal family systems perspective, the soothing mode also enables reconciliation between inner parts: protective strategies rooted in the threat or drive systems soften as they experience safeness, allowing exiled emotions or unmet needs to emerge and be integrated into a worldview of flourishing, union and expansion, rather than to retreat, and separate. Compassion thus functions as both the regulator and the bridge - a physiological and psychological condition that transforms inner polarity into coherence.
Compassionate Flow can also be collective. In dialogue or team creativity, shared Flow states arise when individuals attune to a common goal with mutual awareness (Sawyer, 2017). This intersubjective resonance corresponds to the Spiral’s higher levels - Recognition and Gratitude - where individuality and communion converge.
Mindful Flow and the Upward Spiral
Phenomenologically, Mindful Flow enacts an upward spiral also described in positive psychology (Fredrickson & Joiner, 2002): positive emotion broadens perception, which in turn builds enduring resources. Each successful cycle of engagement and reflection strengthens the neural and psychological pathways of coherence. The individual becomes progressively better at entering Flow, recovering from disruption, and translating insight into action. In Spiral terms, this corresponds to ascending through Courage, Responsibility, and Gratitude - not as static levels but as repeating motifs of embodiment.
A Brief Note on Therapeutic Facilitation
In clinical practice, facilitating Mindful Flow means helping clients restore congruence between awareness, value, and action. When inner parts or conflicting motivations disrupt this balance - such as the worker who neglects health or the caregiver who over-extends compassion - techniques that re-establish oscillation are invaluable. One such method is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-integration therapy that uses rhythmic bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound) to enable the nervous system to process stuck or fragmented experiences (Shapiro, 2018). Conceptually, EMDR parallels the Spiral’s rhythm of connection and disconnection: attention alternates between poles of safety and challenge until coherence emerges.
EMDR can support Mindful Flow by identifying the target of dis-integration - for example, the moment when courage collapsed into fear or compassion turned into self-pity or shame - and by facilitating the organism’s natural movement toward integration.
Alternatively, when an individual faces an existential dilemma - such as weighing an action embodying self-compassion (recreation, rest) against responsibility - the two-handed interweave can help process the competing scenarious representing values, bringing coherence through the Value that connects the two - in this case, Justice / Fairness.
Whether in anxiety, depression, or addiction, the same movement from contraction to coherence is experienced as a healing. I believe that each psychological condition can be understood as a temporary homeostasis within the Spiral - an adaptive stabilisation shaped by recursive threat loops that keep the person in a state of fragmentation and disconnection. It is not pathology in essence, but a frozen form of protection, where awareness, value, and action are in an asynchronous state. The therapeutic task is therefore not to eliminate symptoms but to restore the upward oscillation of the system - the rhythm through which consciousness tends to reorganise itself toward wholeness. In this sense, healing unfolds through every act of Truth, Courage, and Love.
In my next blog I will explore how this process manifests across diverse psychological experiences, from trauma to attention difficulties, each revealing a unique path toward integration, and address clinical applications of the spiral model.
