On March 22, after the first day of spring, we start to dance Paneurhythmy every morning after sunrise. Paneurhythmy consists of exercises set to music introduced by the Master. It is danced in a circle by pairs of dancers. The movements are flowing, rhythmic and harmonious. Each exercise symbolizes something and promotes an Idea.

In many of his lectures the Master provided explanations, clarifications and instructions for Paneurhythmy. Here is a conversation in which he gives some additional explanations:

"Spend at least ten to fifteen minutes a day exercising. Those who do not exercise will need to exercise at one time or another. Our thoughts and feelings must be present in every single movement.

"Every movement man makes influences Nature. The slightest movement of one's index finger, for example, affects Nature in its entirety. The emanations - the waves that flow from the fingers - will travel around the earth and, in the end, will return to the man from whom they have come with an increase in a good or bad sense. Knowing this, one should be careful in one's actions.

"On the other hand, the movements of the various organs of the human body exert certain influences upon the mind, the heart and the will of man. There are movements which develop the mind; others - the heart; and still others - the will.

"One lifts up his hands while exercising, and this is an appeal to the Intelligent Forces of Nature for help.

"We have close to perfect conditions for Paneurhythmy. For the proper performance of Paneurhythmy, one should concentrate on one's consciousness. One should first learn the basic movements and then proceed to the more complicated ones.

"Paneurhythmy is a method which deals with the problems of the past, the present and the future. The past, the present and the future come together into a single present in the circle of the Paneurhythmy.

"The exercise in Paneurhythmy, 'Step by Step,' is in a minor scale. Making a step forward or to the side is related to departure, i. e. involution. Stepping back is related to returning, in other words - to evolution.

"In another set of exercises, 'Rays of the Sun,' moving forward toward the center represents receiving from the Center and moving away from the Center means sharing that which we have gained.

"The Evolved Beings above also dance Paneurhythmy. They make similar movements; and if our movements are in accord with theirs, then we will make contact with them and will receive their blessing. In order to make this contact, it is not only necessary that our Paneurhythmy movements be correct and rhythmic, but that harmony exists between the mind, heart and will of the performer; that is to say, the performer should have Love, Purity and an enlightened condition of the spirit.

"Paneurhythmy - the way it exists above - cannot be done here on earth because humankind is not ready for it; we are given as much as it is possible and in the most accessible form.

"No music or other movements are as accessible as Paneurhythmy. In the future, Paneurhythmy will be introduced and practiced in other countries as well. A Swiss man who has studied the various kinds of dances, circle dances, folk dances and movements to music that are practiced by different nations of the world commented that he found in Paneurhythmy the most perfect combination of music and gymnastic movements.

"A special school for the study of the paneurhythmic movements and songs is needed."
