Encounter the periphery with the heart

Carry the hands from the periphery into a crossing in front of the chest.  Pay attention that the heart expands to meet the gesture on equal terms. How do you experience the meeting?

Encounter the periphery with the heart
  • How do you experience the meeting of the arms?
  • What happens in the space behind your body when you bring the arms back out of the widths? Does it become narrower or wider?
  • How does the speed at which you move your arms impact the experience of their meeting and the connection to the heart? A dialogue should take place between what the E brings in from outside and what the heart brings to it. Can you move too fast? Can you also move too slowly?
  • How do you enliven the space or widths from which you bring the arms inward? Do you fill it with preconceived ideas or is it enough feel into it in a mindful manner and notice that it is there when you direct your attention to it?
  • Can you describe what you feel during and after the exercise?
