An Illustrated Guide to Everyday Eurythmy

Eurythmy is a way of transforming speech sounds into movement, making the sounds visible and drawing out their power. The movement gestures of eurythmy are alive and dynamic and have a powerful effect on body, soul and spiritas when a stone falls into water and leaves visible ripples. Eurythmy therapy is an effective means of restoring balance to the human body and stimulating self-healing through healthy movement. This unique book, the first significant attempt to photographically record and demonstrate basic eurythmy therapy movements, describes and illustrates the core speech/sound exercisesvowel exercises, consonant exercises and soul exercises that include love, hope, and sympathy. This book is not a replacement for a qualified eurythmy therapist, but is intended as guidance and orientation for patients practicing on their ownperhaps after a few initial sessions with a therapistor for more experienced, nonprofessional eurythmists.
