As
a dancer I'm also interested in how that art induces states akin to
meditation, since I have experience with both. This article discusses
how dance induces peak performance through cerebrum and cerebellum
integration to elicit superfluity. The article links to his previous
article on superfluidity, which he describes thusly:
"Superfluidity
is the supreme Flow experience. It is an ego-less state of 'Super Flow'
marked by zero friction (rubbing/slowing), zero viscosity (resistance
to flowing) and Superconductivity (zero loss of energy). [...]
Superfluidity is a state of perfect harmony. When you are so immersed in
what you are doing that you completely become one with the task at hand
to the point that your ego dissolves you are in a state of
Superfluidity."
I
don't see that research has been done on this in terms of
parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, or alpha and gamma waves. But
the description seems to suggest one is engaging both, since both the
arousal and relaxation responses are elicited.
