We aim to understand better, feel and aware of our Body, Mind and Spirit.
We analyse related aspects to gain a clear understanding of how they operate.
We deeply feel and become aware of related aspects.
Then we study how they are related to one Holistic picture.
We define principles according to which we move and exist.
This aspect comprised of two opposite qualities:
expand – become or make larger or more extensive
open
relax
lightness
fire
flow
yang
condense – make something denser or more concentrated
close
stress-tension
pressure
gravity
resist
yin
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?
In essence, there are two biomechanical systems which maintain our posture:
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 do the job with less energy is more efficient.
Be aware of your energy to be more relax and efficient.
Our muscles work by contracting – tensing up. To every motion, staying or just to sitting, we need necessary muscles to work. However, very often, we use much more muscle tension to do the required jobs.
Then, when muscles finish the job, those could:
a) still work – keep same tension,
b) have a rest – be relaxed.
This undesirable tension consumes a lot of our energy and makes us feel tired. It will massively affect the efficiency of your body, training plan & sports goals…
Also, your antagonistic muscles with undesirable tension work against your motion – this negation of your power makes you slower and weaker.
On the other hand, relaxed muscles spend less energy, making you more efficient. E.g. if a marathon runner releases 10% of his tension, he has about 10% more energy to run quicker.
Then, high tension can also limit your training. If you relaxed your muscles, you could increase your training plan.
Another reason why your relaxed body is much more efficient moves easier and quicker is higher sensitivity.
Undesirable tension slows down regeneration and produces toxins.
Too tensed tissue is the cause of many sports injuries. Too tensed muscles, tendons & ligaments are more fragile (like too drawn spring of a guitar) – it can be easily injured.
Therefore it is essential to increase the elasticity of your tissue.
Relax creates a positive cascade effect.
How does it work?
Our reactions when our mind recognises any impulse:
a) resist
b) escape
c) accept, let the power move the body.
Resistance is a typical answer to impulse as a push or pull.
If something scares us, we can subconsciously escape (e.g. some insects or reptiles).
There are also other reactions – accept. So, I do not resist the power of impulse, but use that kinetic energy for my motion.
To accept is not a reaction. It’s a different stand of body and mind. It’s not such easy to accept it.
There are many ways how power could affect the body, depending on the quality of the body.
A stiff, solid body reacts differently than a soft body.
Some joints can be solid to transfer the power, and others could be soft and let the power move joins.
By preparing different combinations of internal quality of your structure, you can choose how coming power will move you.
On a higher level of awareness, you can be a programmer of a path for power.
Resistance is a passive solution. This attitude usually creates stress and pain.
It’s much more efficient and fun to flow with power…
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.
We have a tendency to hold or restrict our breathing during some hard of specific work.
Breathing aerates your internal fire, your mitochondria in a similar way that oxygen aerates a fire.
Deep inhale to your lungs it’s like a deep blow to the fire.
Holding breath usually cause resisting of the flow of kinetic energy.
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!

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.
Feel free to contact me if you wish to expand your life into this new dimension, wherever you are..,
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.
