Vedic culture base on Holistic point of view, that:
We Are Oneness.
Our aim is to better understand, feel and aware of our Body, Mind and Spirit.
We analyse related aspects to gain a clear understanding of how they operate.
Then we study how they are related to one Holistic picture.
Define principles according to which we move and exist it’s like find the fractal pattern on which are creating the fractal of our being.
Let’s start with the aspects which we need.
Today we are quite focused and condensed. It would help if we relaxed and expand.
Then we get the Freedom to Flow even smoother than water!
We can float as Fire.
We are relaxed and soft, however very strong – full of Fire.
Fire expand us and make us very Light.
Let me please explain the core of the concept in 8 points:
To do the job with less energy is more efficient.
Be aware of your energy to be more relax and efficient.
Being stiff, rigid – condense, is not the best solution in most situations.
Into this mode, we are not using kinetic energy. We often try to resist it or even fight with it.
It’s much more effective to accept and flow with energy.
Firstly we harmonise and synchronise with our own kinetic energy, then we flow of others.
A liquid body can surf on waves of kinetic energy accumulating speed and power which is then used as a pendulum, catapult, whip etc.
To be healthy, we are relaxed and soft, but do not passively hang on the skeleton like a jelly or melting ice cream!
You acted upon, by two main forces:
Gravity pulls you down, and fire pulls you up.
A healthy body can flow like water.
However, at the same moment, it’s able to expand & float like fire, pulled by vital energy upwards to the sky.
In Asian Vedic branches, these energies known as Yin & Yang, Chi or Ki, Prana, Kundalini… In Slavic Veda, we called Zhiva or Život.
By flowing up like fire, you automatically float to your optimum point of balance.
This aspect comprised of two opposite qualities:
condense – make something denser or more concentrated
close
stress-tension
pressure
gravity
resist
yin
expand – become or make larger or more extensive
open
relax
lightness
fire
flow
yang
Expansion and condensing happen everywhere and all the time.
It affects all of us, whether we are aware of it or not.
But let me assure you, that awareness of this aspect in any part of being will open for you new dimensions of understanding and freedom.
Condense – power from extremes to centre.
It could be from fingers and toes towards the core, dan tian, or knee, etc.
It could be 90 degrees from the skin surface to the bone.
Expand – power from the centre to extremes or away from the body.
It could be from the core, ming men, knee etc. towards fingers and toes or further.
It could be 90 degrees from the bone to the skin surface.
The myofascial body is mostly our fasciae, muscles, and tendons. Of course, we cannot separate from its bones, organs and rest of the body. It put the whole body together.
A fascia is a sheet of connective tissue beneath the skin that attaches, stabilises, encloses, muscles and internal organs.
How do we add the power of the fasciae?
Fasciae exhibit different qualities depending on your emotional state.
In a state of fear, the fasciae condense.
When you are happy, the fasciae often expand.
We can control the fascia actively by becoming aware of their quality.
We can add expanding fascia tissue from the other side of the arm to the regular muscle contraction.
Plus, we can add a third source of power which are the condensing fasciae to the muscle contractions and the expanding fasciae.
You can combine the muscle and fasciae powers into One united, efficient movement.
Using less muscle power, you become more efficient, and you create less undesirable tension.
A liquid quality of body allows us to accumulate and store kinetic energy.
The power of the expanding and condensing fasciae is the secret of ‘the superhuman power’ that Systema and Chi Kung masters demonstrate.
In essence, there are two biomechanical systems which maintain our posture:
Tensegrity helps to hold your bodyweight. Functional tensegrity allows for less pressure to your discs, vertebrae & joints.
Let’s see what Thomas Myers says about tensegrity:
The power of expanding is the power on which our tensegrity based.
Veda strengthens our tensegrity.
Expanding higher reduces pressure on discs and joints. We can fly..!
To be aware of the mentioned qualities, we develop our senses, especially internal feelings of kinesthesia and proprioception, which massively affect the intensity of life.
When you feel better, you enjoy your movement more!!
Stretching is mechanically flexed or stretched using skeleton.
Muscles, tendons and fascias are passive.
Expanding is firstly mental exercise, with physical effect to myofascial complex. Expanding is an active movement from the tissue.
In a similar way that we add this new aspect to our movement, we can integrate expanding and condensing tissue into our stretching to make it more efficient.
No one had to teach you to breathe; it’s something you are born with!
However, awareness of a few new crucial breathing aspects can massively increase the capacity of your breathing!
Breathing aerates your internal fire, your mitochondria in a similar way that oxygen aerates a fire.
Free-breathing – breathing which is not restricted and interrupted by undesirable tension makes you look younger, feel younger and live a higher quality of life!
Breathing can relax you, and help to cope with pain and stress.
Breathing is a crucial aspect of meditation.
It feeds your internal power.
The way we breathe has a massive effect on our immunity system and the healing processes of the body.
Try this simple exercise:
With condensed – focused (tunnel) vision, you can see the sharp details of a small object. Your view is narrower. Your attention flows to one point.
With expanded – peripheral vision, everything is a bit blurred, but your view is much wider.
Your attention expands – you can work with more perceptions and impulses.
Focused vision is useful when you need to focus on one thing, for example, one arm, one ball or one body. The problem arises when with a focused vision, you try to keep track of more than one object, for example, three limbs, eight balls or a crowd of people. Peripheral vision is much more suitable for multitasking. You have much better spatial awareness in the expanded vision mode.
Vision is a gate into the mind; therefore, it is good to be aware of your vision during meditation.
Your vision deserves to be developed and consciously controlled!
Focused vision leads to focused awareness.
Peripheral vision leads to expanded awareness.
Attention flows out from awareness, similar to the way water gushes out from a spring.
Your awareness is the primary source of your power; attention is your power.
Where you aim your attention, that is where your power flows – that’s where something happens.
Focused awareness – logical thinking is an excellent tool for tactics, plans and strategy, but not the best tool for initial reactions. In focused awareness, we perceive the world in a more linear fashion, in fragments.
Focused awareness is analysing the past and planning for the future.
Chronic stress is a product of focused – condensed awareness all the time.
In expanded awareness, we are not actively thinking; we just flow at the moment. Therefore, we are more sensitive, we process information quicker from our senses (we feel more kinetic energy, rhythm), and we can multitask more efficiently. Our reactions are quicker; they are natural and more intuitive. We are working with our intuition.
Expanded awareness is excellent for creative activities, e.g. dance, play, making love, combat, sports etc.
In expanded awareness, we perceive the world holistically as one unit.
Expanding and condensing qualities span the emotional, mental and physical aspects of the human body.
According to Vedic and Slavic philosophy all of us, and the whole Universe is somehow linked together into Oneness.
Just a different perspective to ‘yourself’ makes you feel different.
When you feel united into Oneness, you easier accept what life brings you.., you smoother flow, synchronise harmonise with the world around you…
Not accepting the situation causes stress.
Just after accepting, you can start to deal with the situation constructively.
Accept doesn’t mean give up.
By expanding yourself, you open yourself to others.
Shaking someone’s hand is an act of opening and expanding your attention to others.
Opening up makes us more emphatic and kinder to each other.
You can open yourself to the Sun, to the wind, to all of nature…
By expanding ourselves, we are connecting with other people and with the entire Universe.
Open – expanding is the energy of unity which leads us to see ourselves as part of one being.
Condensing – closing is the energy of separation, which leads us to individualism.
This energy creates fear, stress, anxiety and often leads us to fight or war.
Condensing is the energy of materialism.
Expanding is the energy of the Light and Spirit.
Expanding energy unites. It allows us to see ourselves as part of a family, town, country, human race, nature, mother Earth – Gaia – an integral part of the whole Universe.
This perspective affects relationships within your family, team – within every society.
As a part of the Universe, you cannot be lonely.
Awareness of unity brings you inner peace and makes you really and truly happy.
Just from the points that we have mentioned, it is evident that studying and implementing the aspects of expansion and condensing into your life creates a positive cascade effect on your health, longevity, how young you look and feel.
We are living in a condensed pandemic!
Let’s take a look at some of the symptoms and visible properties.
Stress, intensely focused vision & awareness, tension, individualism – which are all condensing power.
To bring effectiveness and balance into our lives, we need to pay more attention to expanding power.
Our program leads you to step by step to create your very own personal experience from our exercises and dynamic meditations.
Through conscious and dedicated work, you will open new and heretofore undiscovered paths and ways to study yourself and embark on a beautiful journey of growth.

Next to mentioned Slavic Veda, I am studying traditional Vedas, Chinese Kung Fu and Chi Kung (Qi Kung), Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism etc.
From the dance world, we have taken elegant flow with an emphasis on personal creativity.
As you see, I draw a lot from modern physiology (Anatomy Trains, DNS etc.), massage therapies, Pilates, stretching etc.
However, as I study from the best masters on the planet, I conduct my research on human motion, based on deep feeling and sharp awareness.
