Why movement? In simplicity, because life is movement. From respiration to tectonic shift, sprouting beans to the crawl of lichen, no progression of development is without motion. The telltale signs of emotional and physical illness are a slowing down, a ‘hitch in one's step’, so to speak. We can recognize our friends and foes by their gate, they all have individual motion blueprints which form a key element of their individuality, in particular the hands express cultural and personal identifiers that give rhythm and emotion to social spheres. When we once again become whole after illness we feel as though ‘something has shifted’. What are your own expressions and gestures of elation and disappointment, what are the shifts? When we look at the triumphs and tribulations of personal human experience it is imperative that we examine the movement gestalt that was in tandem with the emotional, thought and social gestures of the individual involved in the outcome of any action. Will power is a force, a motion that is filtered through the lens of anatomical geometry as it exerts its vision in the physical plane through motion. The study of human spacial movement in relationship to personal and social health will provide a platform of capability when it is understood that movement is inextricable from all aspects of the human experience, the quality of which illuminates who you are, how you experience the world and how it is possible to progress.
