APPLICATIONS OF BIOPLASMIC THERAPY

In eurythmy the formative laws underlying speech and music are carried over into the larger expressive movements of the arms and body.There are three types of eurythmy: speech, tone,and therapeutic. Speech and tone eurythmy are performed on stage as an art form, as a teaching media, and as a therapy. Therapeutic eurythmy differs from its artistic counterpart in that the movements are emphasized more dynamically and with more intensity for particular maladies. Unlike the other forms of eurythmy,therapeutic eurythmy exercises are prescribed by a physician.

Some exercises have psychological benefits while others are for physical disorders. For example, the “a” exercise (crossing of arms) gives strength and self-confidence to a shy or depressed person.The“e” exercise (stretching movement)corrects poor posture and curvatures of the spine. The “u” exercise (parallel movement of arms) improves blood circulation and improves coordination. Some eurythmy exercises wake up the person physically and mentally while others build physical substance and stamina in the body.

In summary,eurythmy can have a healing effect on the respiratory, nervous, and metabolic system and other organs of the body by rebalancing the etheric or bioplasmic forces of growth and development. It takes four to five years of intensive training to become a eurythmist.
