Listed by the publisher as “Awareness Through Movement lesson: Becoming Aware of parts of which we are not conscious...”

Participants lie on their front and use their imagination to track a metal ball or finger rolling along specific lines of the body. The lesson involves mental visualization combined with lifting limbs to incline the body, guiding the imaginary ball from hands to heels and along the spine to clarify parts of the self-image.
