Жест эвритмии, символизирующий Луну

The gesture that we associate with the moon in eurythmy is a gesture of densification. When cosmic forces help a plant to condense its forces to seed formation, in which they then peacefully wait till their time has come. Slowly spread the arms and slowly bring them back to the heart. In spreading, try to really go beyond yourself and to return to the body feeling. In eye, the weaving between inner and outer is important.
The interpenetration of expansion and contraction, and the space between. Unlike the our principle, where the relationship of point to circumference is important. Do you manage to experience the process of going out and coming in simultaneously? I go out and feel how this plane also comes in. I come in and feel how it also expands.
We first focus on the hands. On the way out, they expand, and on the way in, they contract. They don't contract to a point, but rather to a space with a center like a germ. The surroundings come into this space. It becomes filled with potential.
Its home is out there and still palpable, there as memory. In the eurhythmic moon gesture, these principles work together. We have a streaming in, an anchoring that leads to growth. The hands expand far beyond their own aura, like elements of cosmic contact. Then they slowly come together in front of the body out of these widths.
During this, the hands slowly close to two spheres that take that which was out there into themselves. The right wrist lightly rests on the left. A five cornered plane is created between the collarbones, upper arms, forearms, and wrists. The right arm rests on the left. The left carries the load.
Create a connection from this point to your stomach and pelvic zone and try to experience how through this a concentration of the own aura and an inner straightening takes place. The body's own center feels a connection to its greater encompassing center and vice versa. Potential center, memory in the circumference. With the moon gesture, we express a principle that something streams in from the cosmos into the earthly, into seed formation, something that contracts, but not to a point, but rather to a spiritual potential. Not a densification from without, but rather a creation of a hollow space that draws the hand to an open fist.
An arrival on and under the diaphragm and a perception into this zone without sinking into it, but rather experiencing your strength. This supports the breathing human from below. The growth potential in the seed is not directed at the cosmos, but rather deeper into the earth, just as a seed falls down into the earth.

Жест эвритмии, символизирующий Луну, выражает то, как космическое окружение проникает в пространство, и моё существо наполняется потенциалом. Его родина находится там, и там же оно по-прежнему ощутимо как воспоминание. То же самое происходит, когда космические силы помогают растению сконцентрировать свои силы для образования семян, в которых они затем мирно ждут, пока не наступит их время.
