And the eurhythmic gesture for *Devotion* is one which, in its very nature, corresponds to the instinctive attitude adopted when this mood arises in the soul. For this reason the eurhythmic gesture for *Devotion* approximates more nearly to the natural position than is the case with most of the other movements. To express this mood of *Devote* the arms are held downwards close to the body, and then bent upwards from the elbow, the hands and fingers taking up a position corresponding to one of the vowels, u for instance, or *a*. Thus according to the shade of feeling which one wishes to introduce into the mood of *Devotion*, any one of these postures may be adopted.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.
