6. Menace. The arm is kept in the same position, the fist clenched (hand concentro-concentric).
7. Execration. Arm extended from the previous position sideward; hand excentro-concentric, palm toward the back; head turned in opposite direction,
8. Horror. Arm outstretched in front; hand excentric, palm outward; head thrown back.
9. Desire. Arm in same position; hand assumes the normal condition and turns its palm upward; head still thrown back.
These movements should blend one into the other, and should be executed without any affectation. The law of opposition should be observed here; for example: In the ascending movement of the arm the hand falls from the wrist; when the arm descends, the hand points upward.
Lesson VI.
Basic Attitudes.
1. Weakness. Feet close together, weight of body on both. This attitude is that of childhood and old age.
2. Perfect calm and repose. Rest weight on one foot (settling at the hip), bend the knee of the other leg and advance the foot.
3. Vehemence. Move the body forward so that the weight rests on the foot that is in front; the heel of the foot that is behind is thus raised.
4. Prostration. Throw one foot far behind the other, with the knee bent and the weight of the body upon it. This attitude, when properly taken, leads to the kneeling position.
