"Flow State" or "Generative Trance"; an altered state where the conscious mind relaxes and lets the powerful creative intelligence of the subconscious to surface. Used for inner transformation, rapid learning and high end performance.

META-STATE

Meta (from the Greek Î¼ÎµÏ„α-, meta-, meaning "after" or "beyond") is a prefix meaning more comprehensive or transcending -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta

  3. A collectively-inherited unconscious intelligence that is universally present in individual psyches

  4. A constantly-recurring element or motif. This definition refers to the recurrence of elements or motives shared throughout various, seemingly unrelated music around the globe

EMERGENCE

In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties. It's parts do not have on their own properties or behaviors which emerge only when the parts interact in a wider whole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence

SOCIAL DYNAMICS

Social dynamics (or Socio-dynamics) is the study of the behavior of groups that results from the interactions of individual group members as well to the study of the relationship between individual interactions and group level behaviors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dynamics

MDA - MULTI DIMENSIONAL AWARENESS

The bifurcation of attention, Simultaneity . MDA in rhythm is triggered by merging polarities within the one feild of awarness i.e active/ passive, Speaking /listening, right /left, up/down, tension/relaxation.  

VESTIBULAR

The vestibular system, in vertebrates, is a sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance. Together with the cochlea, a part of the auditory system, it constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear in most mammals. - wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

PRECISE VESTIBULAR RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT

Vestibular movement is the main driver of rhythmic orientation. Precise,  repetitive and most importantly synchronised movements of the head and neck will stimulate strong rhythmic perception. By stepping laterally and/or forward in patterns that represents precise rhythmic cycles the vestibular will register this movement and over time create deep rhythmic entrainment! When combined with the stimulus from rhythmic speaking/singing along with skeletal pulse waves from the impact of stepping and clapping, this rhythmic information (if syncronised) will meet at the brain stem to trigger the bodies innate rhythmic intelligence.

VOLUNTARY, AUTOMATIC & AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT

There are three types of rhythmic movement...

  1. Voluntary rhythmic movement - is governed by conscious "will", is associated with control and co-ordination, however has a quality of rigidity and therefor by itself cannot not synchronise. It represents rhythmic form void of essence or life (connection to inaudible).

  2. Automatic Rhythmic Movement -is involuntary, lacks conscious control, it cannot be observed by the conscious mind without being disturbed, is prone to becoming compulsive (reactive) and can easily become random. It associated with a lack of presence!

  3. Autonomous rhythmic movement - comes about through finding the balance of involuntary and voluntary movement, being flexible it enables the fluctuation of chaos and order and therefore lays the foundation of synchronisation.  It can exist in the simultaneity of two or more independent layers of rhythmic movement and can be witnessed without being disturbed. Once rhythmic movement becomes autonomous it has embodied the essence of rhythm and generates presence.
