3. THIRD EXERCISE
"In this exercise the hand is laid upon the knee.
The knee represents the Good. The angle at the knee formed between the
thigh and the shin represents the unity with the Invisible World. You set
that which is written on the hand upon the knee, i.e. the Good, as upon
a base. Every finger has a special meaning; all the spiritual forces that
are expressed by the fingers are laid upon the Good, which is the foundation."
DESCRIPTION
Invocation:
"Let Divine Justice come to grow within me"
(Da vuzrastne v mene Bozijata Pravda).
Same as the first exercise: hands and arms down by the sides,
feet together, posture fresh.
Movement sequence:
The right arm sweeps backward and upward in an ascending
arc and, completely outstretched, comes to the position at an angle of
45 degrees in an upward and forward direction. Step backward with the left
foot. Squat slowly, lowering the right arm at the same time in order to
place the right palm upon the right knee at the moment when the left knee
lightly touches the ground. Then rise slowly and allow the right arm to
return to the starting position at the side.
Next, the left arm sweeps backward and upward in the
same way. Step backward with the right foot and lower the left palm to
the left knee as the right knee touches the ground. Slowly rise, returning
to the starting position. Repeat the sequence, sweeping the right arm and
stepping back with the left foot.
In coming forward, begin with the left arm, again sweeping
back, up and forward. Step forward with the left foot. Squat slowly, bringing
the palm to touch the left knee and the right knee touches the ground.
Rise and repeat, sweeping the right arm and stepping forward with the right
foot. The third movement forward begins with the left arm and a step forward
with the left foot. A total of three steps backward and three steps forward
are completed, after which the right foot closes next to the left and the
arms are at the sides, as in the starting position.
