Being aware of fascia will open you to a new dimension of being..
Fascia is a crucial aspect which will affect everything!
If I touch somebody next to the bone’s structure, I can control and manipulate also fascia structure.
To control somebody thru his fasciae allowed me to control somebody with less power – more efficiently.
The strike could also purposely hit the fascia structure.
Using fascia, you can use and store any external energy. E.g. to be drawn as bow and shoot if you want.
Fascia is part of our tensegrity.
Condense – power from extremes to centre.
It could be from fingers and toes towards the core, dan tian, 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 ourselves from our bones, organs and the rest of the body. It puts the whole body together.
A fascia is a sheet of connective tissue beneath the skin that attaches, stabilises, and 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 its 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.
The liquid quality of the 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, two biomechanical systems maintain our posture:
Tensegrity helps to hold your body weight. Functional tensegrity allows for less pressure on your discs, vertebrae & joints.
Let’s see what Thomas Myers says about tensegrity:
The power of expanding is the power on which our tensegrity is 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 a skeleton.
Muscles, tendons and fascias are passive.
Expanding is firstly mental exercise, with a physical effect on the 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.
