Mobility

One of the primary characteristics of animal life is movement. One's ability to be mobile allows for a greater variety of experiences—and we Humans are the most mobile species on the planet, with the ability to travel through the air, sea, and even into space, with correspondingly greater ranges of experience than are enjoyed by the less mobile species.

(Ritual is a language that communicates more deeply with the Innermost Self, which is why people instinctively use it regarding matters of importance.)

Hands-On

Mobility is not just about motion—it is also about stillness. System Four Postures make an excellent warm-up to the mild exercise of System Four Movements.
