You have to be at the peak of your alertness, both physical and mental, when you take part in Gurdjieff Movements. Seemingly simple, they require an agile body and a hyperactive mind as they are very precise and strictly follow a fixed sequence. They look easy but are not, as it takes some time to get into the groove to perform them accurately. They break all fixed patterns of your body and mind. They create a space where the body, heart and action can expand in lightness. As one goes deeper into these movements, one reaches a still, a silent point amid all the activity. In all the action outside, one reaches the non-action inside at the centre. This experience is called 'Presence.'
