Last Saturday I started a new course , a new way to move, an other body connection. This course consists in the practice and study of the sacred dances of Gurdjieff and his philosophy. Is a new enriching experience. From sequences and series of movements you reach a state of active meditation .
Behind the visible movement there is another movement, one which cannot be seen, which is very strong, on which the outer movement depends. If this inner movement were not so strong, the outer one would not have any action.
Mme de Salzmann
You must constantly divide your attention between something which is higher than yourself and your movement. You always lose yourself in one or the other. As soon as you stop making this effort, you become identified with the movement.
You must consider these Movements as a condition, an exceptional one given to you to work on your attention.
In so dividing your attention, you are filling the place that you can fill. One day you may be capable of more, but today, this is your place.
You do not realize enough that your attention is your only chance. Without it you can do nothing.
Usually you think about your movement, but you do not do it. You maintain your thought on the movement, and then when it is the time to do it you give up, and the movement is done, no matter how, without you.
