From A to U - the big Au-gesture

As you create an A-gesture above the head, imagine that the arms contain many rays of light in the open space between them. Keep the angle of A in both upper arms and bring the one lower arm inward to become parallel with the fully outstretched arm. As you move imagine that you are gathering the light rays with the lower arm so that all rays are now parallel between the fully outstretched arm and the parallel forearm. Which arm now rays inwards and which outwards? Repeat the exercise on the other side and then below, starting from a downward facing A-gesture. Relax your arms to the sides.

Try to keep the following in mind during the exercise:
  • When creating the big Au, how do you find the raying in and out simultaneously? Which arm now rays inwards and which outwards?
    • Do you notice a strong stream flowing in and out between the arms when you’ve created the Au?
    • Do you notice that this requires the tension in the arms in order to become palpable?
  • How do you connect yourself with the space in front and behind when creating the Au-gesture above or below?
  • Does your body respond particularly positively to one of the Au directions? Perhaps even feeling enlivened?
