Intention

Intention, Action and Awareness

"It is possible to sense the action before you actually do it. There is a tiny gap of time there where you can intervene and change the action. For Feldenkrais, that was called awareness. That's what happens in the tiny gap between intention and execution, or intention and action, where you can sense and do or not do, and do it differently." - Aliza Stewart

Weekly Vision: SPACE / INTENTION (December 3, 2018)

About “ma”:
Ma (間) is a Japanese word which can be roughly translated as "gap", "space", "pause" or "the space between two structural parts."The spatial concept is experienced progressively through intervals of spatial designation. In Japanese, ma, the word for space, suggests interval. It is best described as a consciousness of place, not in the sense of an enclosed three-dimensional entity, but rather the simultaneous awareness of form and non-form deriving from an intensification of vision.

Ma has also been described as "an emptiness full of possibilities, like a promise yet to be fulfilled", and as "the silence between the notes which make the music"
