Hope - U - Health Exercise - Instructional series for Eurythmy
In this video we show you the health exercise Hope-U by Rudolf Steiner.
For the ‘Hope’ gesture, we put most of our weight on the back part of the foot, the front part of the foot and the toes are slightly raised. We open our arms to the sides, palms facing upwards and fingertips pointing outwards. Now we raise our arms slightly upwards, but no higher than the waist.
This health exercise also includes a U gesture. We make a large U from top to bottom. Rudolf Steiner: ‘It is best to make the U so that you hold your arms as close to each other as possible, but it may also be that only the joining together is indicated.’ He went on to say that it is a ‘feeling small, feeling cold, feeling stiff, withdrawing, holding on to oneself.’
You can find a detailed presentation of the U in our video, which we have linked below.
Now we do the whole exercise, hope first and then we go straight into the U. At first, for the hope gesture, we have most of the weight on the back of the foot. As we move on to the U, the weight shifts to the front.
After each time we have performed the hope U, we briefly return to the centre.
Rudolf Steiner said about this exercise: ‘There is such a thing that can be called a wish: Hope. [...] Look at this, and think of it by always returning to the position of equilibrium, then always performing this wishing movement again, think of it in alternation, always accompanied by a U-movement.’ He went on to say that this exercise ‘has a beneficial warming effect on the respiratory system.’ And that they ‘can never show their effect the very next day, but can only show any effects after about two to three days; but then these effects are all the more certain.’
