Workshop – Expanding Life

Open or close.Expand or shrink. These fundamental forces shape the Universe and influence every aspect of our lives. This workshop aims to guide you in consciously opening your body, mind, and heart whilst increasing your awareness of the shrinking force.   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VRSpiq7b7dI   Bristol 7th December, 10 am – 2 pm 30 Pinewood Close, Westbury on Trym, BS9 4AJGoogle Maps Booking: Fiona Shakeela Burns+44 7786 032830     Glastonbury  7th December, 4 – 8 pm 25 St Edmund’s Rd, Glastonbury BA6 9HXGoogle Maps Booking: Tibi Moravcik+44 7788 538 272 A compressed body feels heavy and restricted, while an open body is light, elevated, and flows effortlessly. Active expansion improves posture, develops tensegrity, and decompresses joints and discs. This can help prevent wear, relieve pain, and support healing, particularly for herniated discs, sciatica, and high blood pressure.Expansion also strengthens joints and tendons.Thus, movements are easier and smoother, reducing the risk of injury. In addition, it makes you feel lighter.   https://youtu.be/xurZNdF32_c   When the body is open, vital energy flows freely, boosting health, accelerating regeneration, and enhancing overall well-being. Mentally and emotionally, the state of contraction often manifests as fear, stress, and anxiety, while openness brings forth joy, curiosity, and creativity. Open individuals are emotionally stronger, braver, and more self-confident. Athletes, in particular, can harness the power of expansion to enhance their performance. We often unconsciously seek openness but struggle to achieve it, leading some to turn to drugs. Thus, conscious expansion can play a crucial role in helping us overcome drug addiction. We are like sunflowers—open and vibrant when young, but closing with age. By actively maintaining openness, we preserve youthfulness and vitality. When we are in a closed state, the world feels hostile. From an open state, it appears welcoming. In essence, contraction isolates; expansion unites. Unfortunately, our closed civilisation does not yet embrace this aspect enough. When we open our hearts, love flows more freely, bringing peace and encouraging collaboration over competition. Is it time to open up and awaken?   The most effective way to open and expand your body and mind is through Pravilo suspension.We’re pleased to offer you indoor Pravilo sessions in Bristol and Glastonbury   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfz3xP8NgJU   Tibi Laska Moravcik wtibor@yahoo.co.uk +447788538272 Read more: https://pravilo.org/expanding_life/

And I found an amazing concept: Pravilo, which is worth sharing with you! Pravilo has the same origin as Systema: Cossack’s tradition. They were not only excellent warriors but also had deep knowledge of how to develop body, mind, and spirit. I built Pravilo many years ago to heal myself and avoid hip replacement operations. It massively helped me heal my hip joint, decompress my back, relax, and uniquely strengthen myself (especially joints and tendons). After years of healing and strengthening myself and my students, I realised how useful Pravilo can be for everybody, so I decided to help spread this concept. Pravilo could improve efficiency and the grace of movement for everybody, including athletes, dancers, and older people (to keep them youthful), but I would especially recommend it for martial artists and warriors! Pravilo could be much more than a stretching apparatus! To fully use the potential of Pravilo, it is crucial to know at least the core of Cossack’s concept: 1. opening (expanding) and closing (contacting) 2. fluid quality of body, mind and spirit Feel free to contact me to learn more about Pravilo (build it, learn to use it) or Cossack methods.     Vladimir Vasiliev about Pravilo   Tibi’s Systema tested by a professional fighter     What says an osteopath?   What say a Yoga instructor?      

Život v otvorení – Bratislava 12.1.2025

. . Bratislava LaMond Nevädzová 4, 82101 Bratislava   Nedeľa 12. januára ’24 10.00 – 17.00   Cieľom kurzu je uvedomiť si silu uzatvárania / zmršťovania a vedome sa naučiť otvárať / expandovať. Tento aspekt má kľúčový vplyv na kvalitu tvojho tela, mysle a emócií. Bez povedomia o tomto aspekte máme tendenciu sa nadmerne uzatvárať, v dôsledku čoho sme náchylnejší trpieť stresom, strachom, napätím, chorobami, tuhneme, strácame pružnosť a rýchlejšie starneme. Telo, myseľ a srdce sa uzatvárajú a tvrdnú. Ak sa však vedome dokážeš otvoriť, uvoľníš sa, a tvoja myseľ aj srdce sa viac otvoria. Život sa ľahšie napĺňa zdravím, odvahou a stáva sa krajším a radostnejším… Pohyb je ľahký, efektívny a prirodzene graciózny. Uvoľneným, otvoreným telom voľnejšie prúdi životná energia. Expanzia postoju tvorí tensegritu, ktora chrani naše kĺby a platničky. Na kurze si na vlastnej koži precítime, ako na nás obe kvality vplývajú, a naučíme sa praktické cvičenia a meditácie na prácu s nimi. Vedomosti o otvorení a uzavretí vychádzajú zo Slovansko-Vědskej tradície, ktorá prežila v Kozáctve. Sila vedomej expanzie a zmršťovania je známa aj ako záhadná sila „Chi“ – základ čínskeho Chi Kungu. PS: Jedná sa o silu Ducha, ktorá nás povznáša z bahna, nadľahčuje a ťahá ku Hviezdam. Preto sme vstali zo štyroch na dve nohy… Zo zatuhnutých tiel (a myslí) sa pod jej vplyvom stávajú telá tekuté. Vývoj pokračuje k vzletnému bytiu, tvorenom Vnútorným Ohňom a Svetlom Poznania (Soma/Kristus). .

Expand your awareness to be more alive

How would your life be without senses? Why would consciousness incarnate into matter if it couldn’t be experienced through the senses? One crucial quality of life is the ability to respond to stimuli. Life can respond to environmental changes, and this responsiveness involves sensory perception. The quality of our senses defines the quality of our life. What if you had a more sensitive perception? How would you enjoy food if you lost your sense of taste, and how if you have a very delicate taste? How would you experience a beautiful sunset with sharp vision compared to partial blindness? Or, how would you enjoy movement (whether dancing, playing sports, or simply walking) if you had a heightened awareness of your movement through inner senses (such as proprioception, kinesthetic sense, interoception, and vestibular senses)?   How can we develop our senses? We improve muscles by exercising them, strengthen memory by remembering, and enhance our sensory awareness through focused attention. Pay full attention to your food; enjoy it, and you may even improve your sense of taste. Focus on your sense of touch, and you’ll likely improve it. For example, my tactile sensitivity improved dramatically after I became a massage therapist. When I began walking barefoot, my feet became much more sensitive, and my awareness expanded immensely to connect with the ground. The same applies to our inner senses: by feeling the flow of kinetic energy, we learn to move with smoother, more efficient grace. Similarly, we can probably develop all our senses. Enhance your senses to elevate your life and enjoy it more profoundly. Expand your awareness to be more alive.   PS: There are also other crucial aspects of your life, especially your mind and transcendental life, like fantasy, visualisation, inner creativity, dreaming, etc.

Massage under tension

Massage therapy is usually applied on relaxed bodies. However, massage under tension (expanding or stretching) has a new quality! When massaged under tension, we manually help expand and stretch the tissue, especially the fasciae. Surprisingly, it also effectively relaxes the fibres of muscles and tendons. Massaging under tension is very intense.  When you taste the efficiency of synergised expanding (or stretching) and massage, it’s hard to resist and do not combine it! The Pravilo device gives the body a wide range of unique expanding and stretching positions. So, a therapist can pay full attention to massage therapy under tension.  

Uplifting Energy

Between Sky and Earth     by Tibi Moravcik   Flow Our posture can be created as stiff and solid as a tree. It is not a good idea to be rigid like wood. It’s much healthier to have a fluid quality in the body and mind, to be relaxed, soft – and flow like water and flicker like fire.   Read more about liquid power… Liquid Power     Uplift   However, we stay. We do not passively hang on the skeleton like jellyfish or melting ice cream! We understand how the gravitational force pulls our physical bodies down, but which force pulls us up??? It’s Vital energy. Spirit. Light. In Vedic culture, it is called Puruṣha. This Inner Fire is known as Yang energy, Chi (Qi) or Ki, Kundalini… In Slavic culture, it is called  Zhiva*. We understand fire, and we can easily visualise the quality of fire; therefore, we will call this quality Inner Fire. This Inner Fire gives life to every animal; it pulls all plants up to the sky.   Inner Fire pulls us up, similar to how fire lifts a hot air balloon…     So, we acted upon two main forces: Gravity pulls us down, and Inner Fire pulls us up. The Fire is lifting us, and we wave with our bodies as the wind waves a flag…   A relaxed, flowing body posture directly affects your emotions. You will believe in yourself- your feelings; you will see your life more positively, etc. We don’t need to exert special effort; we just relax and let the Inner Fire create our postures. We can feel how the Inner Fire lifts our bodies if we are sensitive. A better position increases Inner Fire, pulling you up more… Letting the Inner Fire lift you up creates a virtuous circle. We desire to flow up the same way that fish swim… We don’t just swim horizontally, but vertically up to the sky…     Let it flow Inner Fire flows better through a relaxed, straight body. We tend to passively hang down on the skeleton; we do not use the Inner Fire to lift us! A collapsed position causes deformation of our posture and is often a cause of a backache. In a collapsed position, the flow of the Inner Fire is restricted – we have less vital energy – Inner Fire, we trust ourselves less, we are ‘down’.   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 must keep a nice, straight, relaxed position. The Inner Fire flows nicely and easily via the nice straight body. Also, undesirable tension restricts not just our movements; it restricts the flow of Inner Fire. Tension makes our ‘chimney’ narrower. Read more about Inner Fire… Inner Fire   Balance   The Inner Fire helps you automatically flow to your optimum balance without active movement.   Read more about Active and Passive Movement… Active and Passive Movements       Expand like fire You can expand like fire. Expand is the opposite force to condense force which creates stress. Inner Fire expanding us to the sky improves our tensegrity and lowers the pressure on our discs and joints. Read more about Tensgity… Tensegrity   Read more about Expand & Condense… Expand & Condense   Where does the concept of Inner Fire come from?   I learned the concept of vital Inner Fire from the Cossack masters. Old Slavic culture and philosophy are preserved in the Cossack tradition. Traditional Slavic culture (before the spread of Christianity) comes from Vedic culture. The aspect in Slavic culture is called ‘Zhiva’* and is called ‘Purusha’ in Sanskrit; in English, we would call it Inner Fire or Light, Spirit. In Vedic culture, life is created by Purusha and Prakrti. Purusha is the energy of Inner Fire, Light or Spirit which lifts matter (Prakṛti). This is how Fire and Matter together create Life… The Path of the Cossack is the path of the Light… Cossacks let the Inner Fire uplift them and make them lighter. Therefore, Cossacks have a different quality of body; subsequently, Cossacks flow and move so lightly… We are lucky that today, the Cossack culture is open to us, and we can follow Cossacks on the path of Light and be pulled by Zhiva to the sky… In martial arts, dance, etc., we can see which works with Inner Fire and which works on a solid mechanical basis…  *ZHIVA (Živa/Жива), DIVA, SIVA – zhee-vah | dee-vah | see-vah) from Slavic “zhiv” = alive; “zhivot” = life. Goddess of life, birth, spring, fertility and love. She embodies the universal vital powers and brings live-giving forces.   Read more about Veda… Where Veda comes from?   Read more about related aspects… Flow of balance The Flow of Balance in a Fight Accept or Resist Focused & Expanded Awareness Aspects of movement   Try online classes… Do it            

Fluid being & Flow

Energies flow freely if our bodies are open – expanded, and relaxed. On the other hand, condensing power creates tension, stagnates and restricts flows. These qualities affect practically all the flows: waves of kinetic energy, the flow of vital energy, the flow of breathing, blood, lymph, etc. The same is valid for flow as a mental state of mind. Therefore, being aware of expanding and condensing powers is beneficial if you want to be fluid. If you are relaxed enough, you can flow like water. Nay, you can flow like a flame! The fire quality can help us hold our body mass and strengthen tensegrity. It uplifts us and makes our movements even lighter, smoother and more efficient. Life with flow is easier, happier and healthier. The quality of fire can also automatically bring us to a balanced position. We can have a fluid body without expanding and ‘fire quality’; however, a body like this is much heavier.  The expanded, relaxed body could be very soft and adaptable. The wave of kinetic energy and another flow streams freely via that body. We much more easily harmonise and synchronise with our surroundings. Kinetic energy could work for you or against you. If you accept kinetic energy, it can power your movement – you can surf on the wave of kinetic energy. If we can’t work with kinetic energy, we tend to absorb it with muscle power and move just by muscles. Many of us believe that strength is pressure (tension). However, real power comes from softness. When you are relaxed, expanded, and soft, you are more sensitive and can quickly change the direction of your movement. In the same way, as pressure makes diamonds, it crystallises tissue. Every tension is written into our tissue in the form of crystallisation. That process is one of the most characteristic parts of getting old. Crystallisation restricts our movements and often causes pain. Therefore, it’s crucial to avoid undesirable tension and stress-condensing power. And actively decrystallize our tissue. The best ways to decrystallize are expanding, waving movements and massage. The quality of your body is a reflection of the quality of your mind. To have a fluid body, you need a fluid mind! The fluid mind doesn’t have expectations; it can be in the present. If you let your body and intuition react instead of rational mind, your movement will be much quicker. Actually, you would flow instead of reacting.   Read More…
