trust: you need to be able to allow yourself to relax and be guided by the group. If you feel anxious or nervous your body will tense up, this could be harmful to you and your peers as you wont be able to take as much weight as you could when your body is soft.
awareness: you must be aware of what is going on in your jam. Do not mistake awareness for thinking about what movements your are going to do as this will only hinder the exercise. Awareness is simply being conscious of those around you so that your are able to respond to their movements. If you are inside you own head, you wont be able to respond and your movements will likely clash and the exercise will be pointless.
fluid: your body has to be soft and flexible, Able to take the weight of your peers. If your body is rigid it will be harder for you and your peers to create natural and flowing movements. Be soft and gentle whilst being a strong support when needed.
switch off: you have to just go with it, don't filter any of your movements and just feel your way through the exercise. The only way to do the exercise wrong is by thinking about what to do. You have to just turn off your brain and be completely immersed in moving with others naturally, fluidly and softly.
