OPENING THE SENSES - INNER CHEMISTRY / DAILY MOVEMENT & DANCE IMPROVISATION SESSIONS WITH A GROUP with Sandra Anais & Goran Bogdanovski

Opening the senses

Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing.

But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don't know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.

C. JOYBELL

Stop - Unplug from Everyday Life - Stand Still in Silence - Sense your Breathing - Feel the Volume of your Heartbeat - and get to know a Stranger inside of You

We will cultivate movement practice and balance inner physical, mental and emotional states by exploring our bodies through the full potential of ritual and meditative dance.

By focusing on sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing, we will gradually open your senses to a degree where your organic movements will develop as means of expanding your consciousness and awareness. Practice will give you enough time and space to really hear your body’s inner messages and use the information in favor of transferring it into your every day existence. Through sharpening the senses we will unlock Pandora’s box and unlock the fountain of your inner self - reflected in symbols, feelings, visions, imagination ...

We will lead you to authentic personal creative process. From duets to collective group work, we will create safe and inspiring playground for senses & dance to merge. You will have time to reflect gathered experience, to practice mindfulness together with listening to the echoes (of nature and yourself). You will experience the art of doing nothing - through movement and total presence in states and actions.

BENEFITS
- After delving deeply into exercises designed to enhance ALL your senses, your body will be singing with new sensitivity, leaving you lighter and happier, more open and intuitive, and more able to connect easily and joyfully with yourself and others

- You will be able to translate information that you gathered through opened senses to individual, partner and group dance

- Through expressive dance, you'll free up old emotions, leaving your body and mind calmer and more peaceful than you can remember

- Dance will fill you with a core confidence that reflects the radiance of the person you really are! You will be able to communicate more honestly, directly and confidently

YOGA NIDRA / DAILY MEDITATION GROUP SESSIONS with Neja & Petr Zupan

Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest forms of meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental processes to a state of profound stillness and insight. In Yoga Nidra, one leaves the Waking state, goes beyond the Dreaming state, and enters into Dreamless Sleep while remaining awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is not the same as deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra is used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma.

The practice of yoga relaxation has been found to reduce tension and anxiety. The autonomic symptoms of high anxiety such as headache, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, sweating and abdominal pain respond well. Yoga Nidra refers to the conscious awareness of the deep sleep state.

iVITALIS / DAILY MORNING MOVEMENT

SESSIONS with Neja & Petr Zupan

iVitalis program represents physically undemanding exercise, meant for everyone, who wish to be relaxed, have more energy, positive inclination, motivation, regain their health and also keep it in good condition. The content of the iVitalis program is based on the science of kinesiology use and knowledge of top-level sports. The initiator of such a program in Slovenia is dr. Neja Zupan who with the help of external collaborators, shares their amassed knowledge in a practical way to other people, expanding their positive energy, good will and satisfaction.

Kinesiology – Basic principles of the iVitalis program

The basic foundation of the iVitalis program is kinesiology. It is a science of understanding the workings of joints and muscles, the studying of the movement of the human body… It has even been proven scientifically, that there is a connection between the quality of movement of an individual and his/her physical and mental wellbeing. The findings from the area of kinesiology are used on different fields like physiotherapy, work therapy, chiropractics, osteopathy, education, athletics, training, psychotherapy.

iVitalis

The findings of kinesiology are used in therapeutic and prevention purposes and for the betterment of the quality of life.There are many branches of kinesiology, that cover a wide variety of different aspects of life and are different from one another mainly in their use of techniques for relieving unbalance. All the branches of kinesiology have athletes this in common: the use of the muscle testing technique. This is a gentle, slow press on the muscle, with which we help identify the symptoms of blocks in a person. The symptoms are early warning information, which help a person, to correctly act on the problem and get well.The invaluable worth of kinesiology is the direct experience of communicating with ones own body. The natural answer helps in the process of selecting the technique, that will help obtain the correct balance. The healing is in such a way adapted to every individual and does not include unsuitable medical procedures that could slow the healing time.You can read more on kinesiology in the following article:
– Kinesiology – touch for health,
The use of kinesiology comes from kinezio-therapeutic treatment which was developed in the 60s of the previous century. It was then, that they officially confirmed the connection between muscles, glands and organs, which has grounded the scientific understanding, that the body is a connected whole, that the same energy channels are used both for the muscles and the organs.
Symptoms and diseases do not appear by coincidence just somewhere on the body, but are connected with an exact specified happening in an individual. The essence of kinesiology is understanding, that every part of the body is connected with thoughts and emotions and vice versa, that the body, emotions and thoughts influence the energy state of the individual.
From the abovementioned has the method TFH, Touch for Health developed, which is used in prevention (therapeutic) purposes mostly for the balancing of our own energy and achieving inner solid and peace.
The Touch for Health method represents a whole system of learning for health and has proven successful with:
removing sleeping problems, tiredness, stress and depression,
pain relief (head, neck, back, legs, arms),
healing damaged muscles, ligaments and bruises,
healing chronic ailments like allergies,
healing problems with kinesiology and coordination,
removing study problems, concentration and fear of examination,
quitting smoking and other kinds of addictions,
reaching inner peace, etc.
Reinforced with the knowledge of applied kinesiology and sports experience, we at Bisernica have decided to do something good for the people and help them to achieve their health, energy and wellbeing by a natural route. With a lot of thought and vision we created the iVitalis program.

PILATES FLOW / *INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS with Sandra Anais

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. It focuses on the core postural muscles, which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. The central aim of Pilates is to create a fusion of mind and body, so that without thinking about it the body will move with economy, grace, and balance. The end goal is to produce an attention-free union of mind and body.

By practicing Pilates, you will improve :

-Precision

Every movement in the Pilates method has a purpose. The focus is on doing one precise and perfect movement, rather than many halfhearted ones. The goal is for this precision to eventually become second nature, and carry over into everyday life as grace and economy of movement.
-Concentration

Pilates demands intense focus.
-Breathing

Circulation of the blood awakens all the cells in the body and carry away the wastes related to fatigue. For the blood to do its work properly, it has to be charged with oxygen and purged of waste gases through proper breathing. Pilates breathing should be done with concentration, control, and precision. Proper and effective breathing not only oxygenates the muscles, but also reduces tension in the upper neck and shoulders.
-Centering

Pilates called the very large group of muscles in the center of the body – encompassing the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks – the “powerhouse.” All energy for Pilates exercises is said to begin from the powerhouse and flow outward to the limbs.
-Relaxation

Conscious relaxation should help in relaxing stiff muscles. But Pilates relaxation is not the same as contraction. Termin relaxed expresses sufficient muscular tension needed for particular exercise.We call that active relaxation.
-Flow or efficiency of movement

Movement is expected to be kept continuous between exercises through the use of appropriate transitions. Once precision has been achieved, the exercises are intended to flow within and into each other in order to build strength and stamina
-Posture

If one part of a body permanently changes the position, the body becomes unstable and contracted, overloaded and consequently susceptible to injuries. So, there is a main focus on posture.
-Coordination

is seen as coordinating all the principles together. At beginning of exercises we should make a correct position, relax overtensed parts of the body, to focus, activate »powerhouse« and peacefully execute each movement. Abbility for coordination, which help us observe each principle and at the same time change that principle, is getting better and spontaneous by continous practice.

BIORESONANCE / *INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS with Neja Zupan

BIORESONANCE HEALING
Bioresonance scan and therapy is a unique diagnostic, prognostic and healing technology that enables you to have full analysis of your organism with a revolutionary 96% precision, all without interfering into human body. Our Bioresonance device is the Sensitiv Imago (SI) medical diagnostic device. The SI identifies the pathological processes, even in the very early stages, when traditional methods like ultrasound are not effective and can help to cure chronic diseases where conventional medical has difficulties to help. This is exciting because many diseases are not easily cured if discovered when they are already installed in a body.

The Bioresonance is also successful natural holistic healing approach for acute and chronic diseases.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DEVICE'S FEATURES
The full scan and diagnosis of patient within 1 hour
Identification of all possible diseases, causes of diseases, history of diseases and pathogens
Identification of possible allergens.

Identification of healthy and unhealthy food.
Prognosis of disease development for the period of 1 to 5 years ahead
Individual courses of recovery, including the frequency compensation (the method that helps recreate the self-compensatory reactions of organs and systems)
On-spot selection of most effective additives and drugs for a patient

WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH BIORESONANCE SCAN?
Detection of diseases in the organism, period of their development and possible reasons of their aggravation
Detection of diseases at their stage of birth
Identification of maximum effective treatment on an individual basis
Non-invasive biochemical blood analysis
Non-invasive microflora analysis detecting presence of viruses, bacteria and invaders
Formation of dieting recommendations inclusive of blood group
Identification of personal genetic predisposition and risks
Detection of allergens and their reasons
Identifies hereditary predisposition for diseases
Multivariable analysis of homeostasis in systems and organs
Evaluation of the biological activity of microflora
Identification of changes in the organs: functional and organic
Detection the acid-alkali balance in the tissues
Selection of supplements by testing

WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH BIORESONANCE HEALING?
Bioresonance healing is a painless and quick method of treatment that offers the possibility of specifically treating all kinds of diseases successfully! Bioresonance healing is healing on different depth levels and can restore cells functions on deep level. This became possible due to a detailed study of the trends and latest scientific researches. And now our hardware-software system is capable to provide two types of bio-resonance healing: Frequency therapy and Bioresonance therapy.
Frequency therapy is an energy informative influence on the cells of the tissue and organs which causes them to change to their ideal condition (energy informative etalons of the healthy organism are registered in the memory of the device). The level of the improvement can be traced during the treatment on the screen in real time.
The human body is a self-regulating biological system which radiates all electromagnetic oscillations as everything in nature. These oscillations regulate all the levels of the human organism (sub cellular, cellular, organic, systemic) and keep it in a healthy condition. When the processes of self-regulation are violated in the organism they form and accumulate “incorrect”, pathological electromagnetic oscillations that lead to the development of different illnesses. Nowadays the method of bioresonance is the fundamentally new method of non-drug treatment of healing which works with the help of the patient’s own electromagnetic oscillations.

FREQUENCY THERAPY is indicated for:
an immense variety of chronic skin problems, blackhead eruptions, warts, loss of hair,
endocrine, hormonal disorders (frustration), hormonal imbalances leading to various complaints including weight problems, menstrual and menopausal issues
migraines,
weakened immunity system and illness and stressed conditions where the primary cause lies in some past emotional, mental or physical trauma that the person has never got over fully,
osteoporosis,
arthritis,
psychosomatic over fatigue and many others,
removing allergies/sensitivities: to healthy food, fats, sugars, alcohol, chemicals, heavy metals (mercury etc), environmental inhaled substances (pollens, grass, petrol etc.)
Frequency therapy shortens time of drug treatment, and afterwards supports your organism to completely avoid the usage of chemicals.

BIORESONANCE THERAPY (BRT)
As a result of diagnostics you can see changes that occurred in the organ on different level: cells that work normally, cells with increased load (they can’t fulfil all their functions in organ) or functionally blocked cells (cells that don’t work). The healing is provided directly on changed structures of organ tissues.
BRT allows:
normalizing the microflora of organ,
removing inflammation and restoring damaged organ functions,
removing toxic electromagnetic influences from your body,
helping to remove heavy metals, plastic, chemicals and drugs from your body
helping to remove addictions: to food, alcohol, chemicals, nicotine, emotion

The uniqueness of two-level impact is in focused restore of the most harmed structures of organs tissues.

THEORY
Modern Biophysics has shown that cells resonate at certain frequencies and have radio-like transmitting and receiving properties. These cells inter-communicate and control biological and chemical systems in the body.

Healthy harmonic cells resonate at a very different frequency to that of unhealthy cells.

Physicists further discovered that by inverting the disharmonic frequency a neutralizing effect took place, freeing cells and organs of accumulated metabolic waste and toxins. Harmonic wavelengths resonate at between 10 Hz and 150 kHz. This is called homeostasis; or in in other words healthy function.
Bacteria, viruses, allergies, fungi, waste toxins, hormonal imbalances, heavy metals, plastic materials, an improper stress response and electro magnetic pollution from various sources can all obstruct and interfere with cell resonance and function of similar wavelengths.

These severely hamper the absorption and metabolism of nutrients at a cellular level; which in turn promotes allergies, illness and disease.
THE PROCESS IS QUITE SIMPLE
Your body (organ cells, tissues, etc.) emits electromagnetic signals in the form of oscillations. Bioresonance device measures specific frequencies and records them. So the device reads the impulses from your body and then proprietary program processes the data and identifies all the pathological processes going on in your body.
The database of the Sensitiv Imago bioresonance device contains models of all pathological processes. Sensitiv Imago automatically compares the electromagnetic spectrum of patient's organism with benchmarks in it's database. This process is very similar to reading bar codes in the supermarket. "Bar code" is similar to an electromagnetic scale of any process in the organism.

At the final stage, Sensitiv Imago Bioresonance device automatically selects the methods of holistic healing and tests drugs and supplements for best results based on patient's pathologies. So, the Sensitiv Imago device enables you to get full preventive information about your health, localize any early presentations of damages within just 1 hour, with a 96% precision. You can even get accurate prognosis of any disease development for 1-5 years ahead. It is impossible with any other diagnostic method or equipment on the planet.
If the body is strained by toxic substances, the strain can be reduced or completely eliminated by providing your body with the inverse oscillations (exact counter-information mirror image)- Bioresonance healing. With the inversion of these pathological signals, the self-healing power of the body is activated and strengthened. The body then regains control over its regulation and detoxification mechanisms which are vital for all of the bodily systems to stay at full strength. The effect for healing comes from awaking of hidden reserves of the organism. That explains the wide range of influence and absence of side effects and contraindications.
