WhIte Belt Principle #9: Creative Arm and Hand Expressions
In Nia we say our feet are the hands that touch the Earth. Our feet and toes sense the ground, provide our foundation and a way to move our bodies through life. Hands and fingers orient us in space and in relationship to the world around us through physical and energetic touch. They are feelers and tentacles. Hands can direct energy in precise directions and ways: in, out, up, down, squeeze, push, pull, caress, point, tap, pray . . .
I noticed today while freedancing with fully extended fingers, the web spaces stretched wide open between each of my fingers, that my energy field felt large and full, like a radiant sphere. You know, the Glinda the Good Witch of the North thing happening very strongly. When I freedanced and let my hands go limp, my field also went limp. The contrast was dramatic! You might want to try it yourself.
Many of you have heard me talk in class about how energetically the hands represent the center. My experience is a good example of that: whatever I intend through my hands in turn effects my whole system.
