Contemporary artist Shusaku Arakawa(1936–2010) published a series of architectural works since the 1990s. The most important concept of Arakawa and his partner, Madelin Gins, is Reversible Destiny. They created these architectural works to realize "Reversal of Destiny," and most of these architectural works are accompanied by "Directions for Use." Only when the "Directions for Use" are used in an appropriate way will these architectural works become the "Reversible Destiny" architectures. Arakawa＋Gins\u27 architectural works are full of tricks aimed at "losing balance." They hold the view that "losing balance" physically is important in "Reversible Destiny." However, this paper opines that "Directions for Use" exist so that when persons who experience the "Reversible Destiny" architectures become the sense of somatic "losing balance," they can respond more effectively in the direction of Arakawa＋Gins\u27 goal of "Reversible Destiny." In our discussion, we use the term "the bodily sets" to describe how we interact with the world (environment) somatically. First, we examine "the bodily sets" and consider them in relation to the state of consciousness and technique of mindfulness. Second, we clarify that Arakawa＋Gins\u27 architectural works are aimed at "losing our balance" and examine their intended meaning. Therefore, this paper explores how to use the "Directions for Use" presented by Arakawa＋Gins along with their architectural works
