Introduction

The Dance of Shiva can be used to represent anything that you want to learn. It is a complex system of positions and movements that can be broken down into simple elements. You learn the system by learning the elements.

The process of learning involves assembling the elements so that you have a working model of the dance of shiva inside of yourself. The more complete the model is the more of the dance of shiva you can do without having to think about how to do it. Because you don’t have to think about how you do the movements you can focus your awareness on the quality of the movements themselves. You can make the movements smoother, more precise.

The elements of the dance of shiva are clearly defined making it easily learnable. They also fit together cleanly the way the parts of a plastic model kit fit together. That makes it easy to assemble a model of the dance of shiva inside of yourself.

Models

Models are representations. As part of ourselves they can be used as references. They can also be used for movements and postures. They also have “processing power.” They can in part do some thinking for us in zero time.

The better the model the more problems and situations it can handle.
