I like the word 'Immersion'........makes me think of swimming in deep clear waters and exploring all sorts of inspirational cool things down there..........colorful fish, exotic corals, weird and wonderful sea life from animals and plants........and yet, not forgetting to breath when needing to fill one's lungs with pure air. One of the things you mentioned that flashed at me like a neon sign was the fact that I need to put my phone on silent. I don't do that. Not that I get many calls or texts but inevitably I'll get that annoying ring or ping and I'll be delicately pouring resin or plaster and I don't know why I feel so damn obligated to answer the call or text! It's a bad habit of mine and has to do with not wanting to offend someone who's reaching out to me (even if it's to scream at the scamassholes). My kids are adults so it's not like I'll get an emergency call from them (God forbid) so nothing else can be as important. I need to work on letting it go and perhaps leaving the phone in another room and not bring it into the studio.
A great post. Meditation and art is a topic that interests me especially, in fact in my last post I talk about this enriching relationship.

Yes maybe put you phone on airplane mode or 'do not disturb' in settings>focus.
