Castle Trautenfels

The Heidenhügel was probably artificially constructed. Burial or wooden structures are suspected beneath it. Due to the wild herbs, the place has already been used for summer solstice and other seasonal festivals. The location invites you to perceive the contrast of lively past festivals on the meadow and the silence among the trees behind it.

THE RESONANCE EXERCISE
HEIDENHÜGEL EARTH-SKY-GESTURE

For You

• Find a good spot and position at the Heidenhügel.
• Similar to the (dry) scooping gesture at nearby Heiligenbrunn, slowly lower your hands as a bowl in front of your body, absorbing the strength of the Heidenhügel, then raise the bowl above your head to catch the light and distribute both qualities around your body with fully extended arms and fingers. Return the arms to the sides in large circles.
• Energetic repetitions deepen the exercise.

THE EFFECT FOR YOUR HEALTH

Focus

• Movement
• Mental strengthening

Physically

• Strengthening, motoric, stretching
• The scooping gesture also strengthens here in the upward and downward movement: The more energetically the exercise is performed, the more effective it is.
• In the upward movement, the spine is stretched, and during the subsequent arm movement, the entire shoulder-arm line is also stretched through self-power.
• The stretching of the arms additionally promotes an adjustment of fine motor skills through the adaptation of the arms and hands (the “bowl”).

Mental

• Perceiving oneself as part of the larger whole

HEART QUESTION
How do I perceive my connection with earth and sky?
