Record: listeners' notes. This text is a newspaper's or a listener's report of the lecture, not a transcript. The wording is the reporter's: do not quote it as Steiner's own words. Evidence: «Lory Maier-Smits, from: “The First Seeds of Eurythmy”». The unit's own header line in the edition served.

In a delicate yet convincing way, the feeling arises that the feeling soul, released from its physical bondage, can experience itself outside in the other, to whom it inclines itself in this quiet gesture. The human organism, the instrument for eurythmy, is addressed in this exercise in its third member, the astral body, and a first, quiet awareness of how the feeling soul can connect in three different ways with its own body and with the outside world is made possible.
