Verbal guidance through a sequence of movements, where nothing is demonstrated, provides an opportunity to individually probe how one carries out a movement and how this is personally understood. In other words, it is not a matter of learning a motion and being able to execute it, but rather of using a kind of laboratory situation allowing for different observations.

For example: how much strength do I need for a movement, how quickly/slowly do I execute this movement and what do I notice about it, how can I observe which areas are involved in the movement in which way, where does it begin and which direction does it take, which possibilities do I have within a movement, which areas are easily moved, which do I feel less, how do I deal with my body as a whole, etc. |

New impulses and ways of moving and exploring ourselves result from the way the practitioner draws attention to different connections and areas in the process. The crucial guideline is always one's own sense of well-being and finding out what the signs of this are. |
