Address on Eurythmy

The etheric body of the human being has its own specific structure, and one part of this structure corresponds to the larynx and everything connected with it. The etheric body of the larynx and everything connected with it, the tongue, palate, and so on, moves in very specific, lawful ways when we speak, so that we can see this part of the etheric body moving in very specific ways when a person speaks. Now, everything that is expressed in one part can also be expressed by the whole human being. The other parts can be held back, and the total power that the human being brings to bear when speaking can be expressed in a special way. In the movements of the whole human being, one can express those movements that underlie this part of the etheric body, the larynx. This was done in eurythmy.
