And then I would like to mention a sentence that Rudolf Steiner later said in Basel, introducing the teachings and underpinning the whole of eurythmy with it, and which he put into the mouth of Mrs. Felicia in his speech at the first eurythmy performance on August 28, 1913, in Munich: “You must learn to let the heart rise up into the head.” So I stood there in the indicated posture, felt an uprightness rising from my feet (balls of my feet), I felt it in front of my body, not in my spine, through my chest and heart, up to my forehead, from which I had the feeling that it must begin to shine.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Notes on the Origin of Eurythmy","site_heading":null,"date":"1912-08-31","location":null,"word_count":208,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277a/1912-08-31/p005","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1912–1918","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277a/English/SOL2024/19120831e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
