In Zen or martial arts terms, it's called "No-Mind", or Mu (emptiness). I can achieve it there, from time to time as well. I feel like I've touched it at work, from time to time, even in an highly interrupt driven environment - everything that comes in gets dealt with, it's like my context switching time goes to 0. It's a buzz... but can be draining as well. I find that it takes a certain active will to achieve that state these days - not something I fall into, instead, something I have to actively seek.
