O in front, above, below, and behind
Bring the hands to the heart and form an O. Feel the arms and fill the O with warmth and mindfulness until you feel the straightening effect in the whole body. Return your arms to the heart. Create an O from the heart towards above. Fill this gesture with warmth and mindfulness. Perhaps experience how this activity deepens your connection to the earth. Return your arms to the heart. Create an O from the heart towards below, and fill it with warmth and mindfulness. Perhaps experience how this gesture opens the space above. Return your arms to the heart. Create the O from the heart, moving below and behind. Perhaps you experience that the heart zone is opened and warmed. Return your arms to the heart. To finish, create the O once more on the horizontal plane in front of you.
How did you experience the O in front, below, above, and behind you?
- Could you experience the space outside of the gesture? Did you notice how important it is to experience your own activity and your bodily perceptions for this effect to come about?
- What was the easiest? In front, below, above, or behind? Which impressed you the most?
- Do you agree that all these versions of the O-gesture suit the O and express something of its quality?
- What role does the surrounding space play for you? Or is the inner dimension more important?
