The flow between matter and spirit<\/strong><\/h1>\n

by Tibi Moravcik<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We understand quite well how the gravitational force pulls our physical bodies down.
\n<\/span>If you are stiff and solid, you fall down like a tree being felled, if you are liquid you flow down like water\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, we stand up.
\n<\/span>So, which force pulls us up???
\n<\/span>It\u2019s the <\/span>Energy of Life<\/b>.
\n<\/span>Vital energy. Spirit. Light.\u00a0 In Vedic culture, it is called Puru\u1e63ha. The Chinese call it Chi<\/strong> (<\/span>Qi), in Indian <\/span>Prana<\/b>, in Slavic culture it is called\u00a0 <\/span>Zhiva<\/b>\/ \u017diva\/ \u0416\u0438\u0432\u0430\u00a0 (“zhiv” = alive; “zhivot” = life).<\/span><\/p>\n

This Energy of Life gives life to every animal, it pulls the sunflower and all plants up to the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Energy of Life is partly similar to fire.
\n<\/span>It <\/span>floats up to the sky<\/b>, in a similar way to fire, <\/span>it expands <\/b>as a hot air balloon.
\n<\/span>We understand fire and we can easily visualise the quality of fire.
\n<\/span>Therefore we will call the \u2018Energy of Life\u2019 <\/span>Fire <\/b>in this article\u2026
\n<\/span>Fire pulls us up, similar to the way fire lifts up a hot air balloon…<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Let it flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fire flows better through a relaxed, straight body.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a tendency to <\/span>passively hang down on the skeleton, we do not use the Fire to lift us up!
\n<\/b>A collapsed position causes deformation of our posture and is often a cause of a backache. In a collapsed position, the flow of the Fire is restricted – we have less vital energy – Fire, we trust ourselves less, we are \u2018down\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In hanging position, via a screwed body, we are like a fireplace with a blocked chimney. A good chimney creates a draft to pull the fire upwards. Therefore, we have to keep a nice, straight, but <\/span>relaxed<\/span> position. The Fire flows much nicely and easily via the nice straight body.
\n<\/span>Also, undesirable tension restricts not just our movements, it restricts the floating of Fire. Tension makes our ‘chimney’ narrower<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we try to \u2018straighten up\u2019, we often do so like a tree: stiff and solid. It is not a good idea to copy the quality of wood. <\/span>It’s healthy to have a <\/span>liquid quality of the body<\/b>. Later on, we want to be even smoother, we want to <\/span>float as fire<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Fire is lifting us up and we wave with our bodies, as wind waves a flag…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A relaxed, flowing body posture directly affects your emotions. You will believe yourself- your feelings,\u00a0 you will see your life more positively, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need to exert special effort, we just relax and <\/span>let the Fire create our postures<\/b>.
\nIf we are sensitive, we can feel how the Fire lifts our bodies up.
\nBetter position increases fire and it will pull you up more\u2026
\n<\/span>Letting the fire lift you up creates a virtuous circle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch: Visualisation of the Fire\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
