Eurythmy for Health in Body and Soul

In these difficult times, nothing is more helpful than a powerful, conscious spiritual practice. This will help us to return again and again to our own sense of Embodiment, Truth and Purpose.

Eurythmy helps us to remember the sanctity of life on earth, with a grounding and restorative practice that integrates body, soul and spirit. May this work bless and strengthen you on your path.

For this, the second lesson of the Body as a Temple Eurythmy Class, we added to the U-experience from last week the experience of the EE (I). The U is connected to the archetypes of our body, the strict supports of the parallel lines of our long bones, the forces of Saturn that support us to Stand.

The EE, in direct contrast, focuses on the experience of the single straight line that connects us to heaven and to earth. It gives us the power of individuation and balance—literally and figuratively— and is connected to Mercury. EE gives us the power to walk our own truth, and to manifest responsibility and truthfully the uniques path that is our destiny.

We also worked with exercises to loosen the path, support good posture, and open up the rhythmic system for the sake of full breathing.

Exercises done:

Peace exercise

Threefold walking

Contraction/expansion

U in mutltiple variation

“L” for straightening the back

Rhythmic R to support the Rhythmic system

EE in many variations

Yes/No to integrate the head and the will

The form of the cross in space

“Into the depths of the earth”
