Therapeutic Eurythmy
CARE & RENEWAL | WORKSHOPS | CHILD STUDIES
The word Eurythmy stems from Greek roots meaning “beautiful” or “harmonious rhythm.”.
In this profound relationship to beauty and rhythm, Eurythmy is a form of movement that can bring one’s body back into balance.
In the light of Anthroposophy, we understand the human being to be more than just a physical body. Rudolf Steiner described another, more subtle aspect of the bodily vehicle: the life body. This aspect of the bodily nature resides just beyond the boundary of the physical body and is not visible to the physical eyes. The life body, sometimes referred to as the etheric or ether body, connects us to each other worldwide. These life-giving forces are what Eurythmy is intrinsically and consciously connected to as a movement practice.
“What is it that my Divine working out of primeval, cosmic being, does in me as a human being? If you would give the answer to this question you must make the eurythmic movements. The Divine eurythmetizes, and as the result of its eurythmy there arises the form of the human being.”
Rudolf Steiner, Eurythmy as Visible Speech.
