The sequence of sounds in the sacred word Halleluiah are used to purify yourself, the room you are standing in, and the realms of space, as far and wide as you can spread. Use this to spread blessing into the world.

We human beings stand spanned between heaven and earth, light and darkness, levity and gravity. Practice being able to stand in each field with the right kind of energy, and then move to your center, which holds the balance in between.

In our eurythmy practice, we learn to center ourselves in our heart chakra as we walk. We learn to feel as if the heart shines with sun-gold. At the same time we imagine a crown of light on our head and power in the legs. We walk with the graceful control of water-bearers as we move through the world with ease and elegance. At the same time, this exercise is profoundly health-bringing, as it stimulates deep harmonies in our breath and pulse.

Seedtime and harvest, summer and winter, day and night, life and death: all these polarities are the backdrop of our life. We live in a never-ending pulsation of creation that moves between infinity and the centerpoint, eternity and the present. Every living system bears this rhythm in itself. When we practice this in eurythmy, we learn to understand this with our whole body. We learn to access the true sources of health for our body, soul and spirit.

Learn to integrate a graceful arm movement into your walking practice, to help you move your threefold walking practice into your heart chakra. This further helps you develop peace and harmony in your whole body as you walk.

The first vowel expresses the pure open-heartedness of wonder and innocence. Re-awaken them in yourselves as you re-discover these powers in your soul.

The vowel Ā is the second vowel, and expresses boundaries and separation. These may bring pain, but also safety. Practice making boundaries with this practice.

The true power of the self is awakened in the streaming light of the ego, manifesting the power to balance heaven and earth through awakening a strong sense of self in the middle.

The U strengthens our power to stand upright in true self-knowledge. With this sound, we root ourselves in heaven and in earth.

The D is the consonant of firm grounding. With the power of the D, the Creator separated the world of gravity from the light-filled realms above. In our human body, we carry these polarities in feet and heads: the D helps us feel strengthened in our legs, while clear in our heads.

L brings beautiful enlivening and rejuvenating forces. It is an exquisite experience that transforms darkness into light, hate into love, death into light. Learn to bring the stuck places of your body and soul into movement with this experience.

The M is a force that permeates all of creation with warmth, love and presence. In M we can feel a gesture that exhales into space, breathing out, filling the world living breath. This is wonderful for people who need to let go of tension and release.

The R expresses the unbounded freedom of the air element. It moves like a mighty wind through the world creating dynamic and changing relationships. In R we discover forces of renewal that lead us to rejuvenations and rebirth. It also moves through the stuck places of our body.

The T teaches us how to open ourselves to the depths, the heights and the widths of the world and draw them into ourselves, so we can evolve to be full self-realized human beings.

Overcome stress and sleep better.

Become grounded and breathe deeply.

Find the balance you need in your feeling heart.

This exercise is extremely simple yet demanding, because it demands that you work with full presence. It is designed to train the body to experience the qualitative differences between the different directions of space. The movements also cross the vertical and horizontal body midlines repeatedly, and are especially challenging and transformative for people with spatial challenges such as dyslexia.

Our chest houses the very important rhythmic processes of our breathing and the pulsing of our blood. Both of these need to be in vibrant health for us to move through the world in mindful presence and in love. This exercise melts the figurative armor that we have built around our chest and supports us to breathe deeply as we move through life.

Eurythmists love this exercise, because we learn to drop the rods behind our heads and catch them in our back. As we learn how easy this can be, we open our back space and become beautifully conscious and comfortable in the invisible dimensions of space!
