/suÂ·piÂ·naÂ·tion/ (sooâ³pÄ­-naÂ´shun) [L. supinatio ] the act of assuming the supine position, or the state of being supine. Applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward (anteriorly) or upward, performed by lateral rotation of the forearm. Applied to the foot, it generally implies movements resulting in raising of the medial margin of the foot, hence of the longitudinal arch.
This is a great phrase. Onward means moving forward without looking back, and upward means having a goal of continued self improvement which leads your spirit âupâ towards a more divine state of being. Using the phrase also serves as a reminder to continue your personal journey(whatever that may look like for you). Onwards and upwards!
