Awareness Through Movement #245

Heels and feet in circles Part two

“Those who do it once with this foot and then once with that foot lose the opportunity to see what it does because when we move this leg it becomes different from the other. It will affect the shoulder and face on the same side. If it is done once here and once there, a person does not know what happened because, as you see, with most people, the memory of oneself is even worse than their control of movement. Afterwards, they completely do not know what happened to them. They think they know, but they do not know anything. When I say, “they,” I am talking about all of humanity, including myself.”
