What's interesting about Flow to me is that on the face of it it's the exact opposite of mindfulness. As a meditation teacher, I've learnt that meditative spaces are those where you are concentrating fully on the moment, and your thoughts in that moment. The specific scientific basis for this is activation of your PNS and suppression of your SNS. As a musician, I also understand extremely well the Flow state, or "being in the zone" as us muso's call it. The two states are similarly euphoric and blend many traits, but they seem very different in attention terms. Fascinating stuff.
