First Obeisance Position

“Obeisance” is a command, commonly given as “perform obeisance.” Obeisance essentially is a gesture or body movement that shows respect. There are many ways in which a kajira can respond to this command, but the books specify 2 “standard” positions that are assumed when the kajira is ordered “First Obeisance” and “Second Obeisance“

This post describes the 1st Obeisance Position command.

In this position, the girl begins in the kneeling position (Nadu or Tower). She then lowers her head to the floor and place the palms of the hands on the floor at the sides of her head. She can then, if permitted, raise her head slightly and move a bit forward, maintaining the position in order to lick and kiss the feet of her master, doing it softly, lingeringly and lovingly.
