2. Be specific. What exactly do you choose to practice? What's going on, and what needs attention? In your body? In your heart? In your mind? Where are you blocked? What needs to grow in you? What is your edge right now? Create movement practice that addresses your next steps. Focus on one rhythm, or all of them in a specific way, or one emotion, or one area of your body. Be specific.

3. Surrender. You can't really plan this one. Sometimes a grace just comes and something bigger than you just sweeps you away like a tsunami, and the dance becomes a profound prayer, a communion with the big One. All you can do is show up, pay attention, and be willing to go with it when it comes. Blessings.

4. Give something. There's such a wealth of experience in the practice of the rhythms. Many times a day there's a moment where you have the chance to give something to the world from this experience. Whether it's a major creative project, a smile to a stranger, or a moment where you break the spell of 'normal' for someone. Creativity happens in many little ways if you choose.

5. Breathe. Every moment of every day you can tune in. Become aware of your body, your breath, your feelings. Loosen up, wake up, let go, do the dishes, it's all a dance.
