Relaxation
Rest
Receptivity
Dynamic Reciprocity

• The first stage in dance meditation is RELAXATION.
  
• Once that is reached then we can actually experience REST.
  
• From rest comes RECEPTIVITY - the ability to take in and absorb..
• And then comes what I call DYNAMIC RECIPROCITY, which, like circular breathing, is the condition of generating and receiving energy simultaneously. In this last stage, what would normally exhaust you instead feeds you.

These four stages don't come quickly for many of us and are not always linear. They are, however, distinct.
