About the Ten Actions x
The Spalding Method consists of ten actions. The actions are broad enough to address the wide range of human temperaments yet specific enough to convey the nature of the necessary action. In truth there are only nine precepts or actions to this method. The term "waning" is used twice; it both precedes and follows the term "welting." Waning is a reposeful dying motion before Welting (also called "backswing") and a reposeful dying motion after Welting (also called "follow through"). It is only repeated to reflect the nature of the action through the time continuum. This is more fully explained in the "Overview of the Spalding Method."  Take note that each of the Ten Actions, except for Witnessing, can be separated into either a "chiefly psychic action" or a "chiefly somatic action." The table below shows this separation. Witnessing reflects the most perfect outcome achievable when the psychic and somatic aspects are balanced. This we could call this "seeing in the 'now' moment." x
