The purpose of the second section is to align the legs, horizontalize the knee and ankle joints, and distribute the weight of the body over the arches of the feet. In this section we consider issues of security, self-support, and sufficiency.
Independence requires support.
Without the support of the ground, our legs would be useless. Independence does not mean that we cannot depend on anyone else. On the contrary, we need stability in order to receive support. In the physical world the ground is our ultimate support and it is through our feet and legs that we experience it. In this section we consider the integration of independence and support.
