Breathing
Breathing is a crucial aspect that strongly influences the expanding and condensing qualities of our body, mind and emotions. Holding or suppressing breath usually tenses you up and closes you. Vice versa: When you are tensed, stressed, and shrink, you naturally tend to hold or suppress your breath. Therefore, it is crucial to breathe deeply […]
Stress releasing
Stress is a mental and emotional effect of condensation power and tension (condensation power causes tension). Therefore, the simplest way to cope with and prevent stress is to develop expanding power and relax across physical, emotional and mental bodies. The first aid when you realise stress is to expand with deep inhaling. With exhaling, relax but keep expanding the quality. It’s often scientifically proven […]
Vital Energy
We use an image of Fire to understand better and more easily visualise vital energy. Inner Fire* flows more freely via an open, expanded, relaxed body. Because Pravilo expands, opens and relaxes your body like nothing else, after the Pravilo session, most people feel a massive influx of life energy! Undesirable tension consumes a lot of undesirable vital energy. When we expand, we […]
Expanding and Stretching
There is a difference between stretching and expanding. Stretching is based on mechanical flexion (bending an arm, leg or back). Flexion stretches muscles, tendons and fasciae in combination with a skeleton. Stretching puts pressure on the involved joints and discs! Stretching doesn’t demand your attention. Expansion and condensation usually have the direction of a line, plane or sphere and happen without flexion. Expanding on Pravilo decompresses every joint and spinal disc between all […]
Relaxation
Relax is the natural state of the body and mind. Tension is usually a reaction to an impulse. Unfortunately, we often have a terrible habit of subconsciously tensing up, even if it is unnecessary. Undesirable tension affects not just the body but also the mind. Mind tension is called ‘stress’. Vital energy flows much smoother […]
Mind and Emotions
The quality of expanding-open or condensing-close doesn’t just benefit the body but also uplifts our emotions and way of thinking. A bent, shrunken, or closed body tends to hold emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, stress, and depression. Therefore, by opening, expanding and relaxing the body, we change to more positive emotions and ways of […]
Strengthening
Tendons and Joints If you passively (without muscle contraction) suspend on Pravilo, you can feel warmth across your tendons and ligaments afterwards. If you suspend them longer, you can feel them burning. That’s the moment when they are strengthening! Suspension and expansion are the natural stimulation for tissue to become stronger, dense, and compact. Stronger ligaments are […]
