THE ANKLES

The ankles are the third and last major joints in the legs and provide mobility between the feet and the legs. These major joints enable a range of motion to the mobility of the leg, notably when the foot is stationary, placed on the ground, or in motion. It is thanks to the ankles that we can “push” on our grounding support, the feet, to move forward better and faster.

While the hip represents the basic hinge of the unconscious structures and orientation points in relationships, the ankles (at the other end of the leg) signify the final, exteriorized hinge, the conscious orientation point. This joint supports our relationship to the world. It is the hinge in our beliefs in relation to others and to ourself. It symbolizes the ability to make decisions and changes in life and to involve ourself in things. The ankle is the doorway of involvement, as shown in figure 4.4 , in the sense of decision-making. Ground symbolizes reality; therefore the stability and mobility of our ground support (as well as its suppleness and its gentleness) depends on the ankles. This means the ankles are a faithful projection of rigidity or flexibility in our positions and in our life standards.
