When they walk, they often swing their arms in wide arcs and let their bodies bob up and down as they move. The only swing person in our class was Rachael. She was like a mini roller coaster, her steps swooping her up in to the sky and down again, making her body lift and fall as she walked. One of the last energies that we experimented with was called collapsed. It is, for some, incredibly comfortable, for others, unbearable.
Collapsed energy can come in a variety of different forms.
It can be just as it sounds, tired and lethargic, or it can manifest itself as a kind of indifference, an air of not seeing or caring that is some times associated with Generation X and street gangs. Angela was collapsed. Not only was she slumped, but her spine seemed to telescope down upon itself, making her look about four inches shorter than she really was. Even when she smiled or was excited she seemed tired, distant, as if her mind were focused elsewhere. The final energy was sustained.
