1. What is CAT?

Sacred Body Architecture is a practice of physical improvement that returns the body to its natural mobility, beauty and health.

Many people think that the word "sacred" has only a divine nature. This is not entirely true. In biology, the term Sacrum means "sacrum" - that is, a large triangular bone that connects the pelvic bones, coccyx and spine. For us, the word “sacred” means “connected”, since we consider a person not as a “set” of organs, but as a whole, where each part is connected to another by quite tangible connections.

The Sacred Architecture of the Body teaches a woman at any age to be truly feminine, alive, harmonious, integral, thanks to a conscious, correct understanding of the human structure and relationships within herself.

Sacred Body Architecture is the experience of transforming and keeping the body in a new, corrected state through physical exercises, breathing practices and, in a way, spiritual work.

Sacred Architecture of the Body is a reprogramming of the perception of reality through work with your body and work with consciousness through movement and breathing. This is a whole philosophy of life!

You will be surprised at the results of regular CAT classes!

If you start practicing CAT with a frequency of only two times a week for one hour, then gradually tangible, qualitative and irreversible changes for the better will begin to occur in your life. You will acquire skills that will eventually become a habit and will allow you to get real pleasure from the very process of transforming your body.

Rejuvenation. Can old age be stopped?

Physical and spiritual rejuvenation is based on the “replacement” of the “aging” program with the “growth” program. To change physically, you need to adjust your inner attitude towards age. After all, youth is the desire to learn, grow, comprehend, be inquisitive, play, keep a little girl in yourself.

The CAT technique allows us to stay young, attractive, healthy and full of energy without diets, expensive cosmetic procedures and exhausting workouts.

With its help, we simply learn to keep the body in a natural position: by correctly exposing the skeleton, we get access to free breathing, blood circulation normalizes, energy levels increase - our body and soul are reborn, no matter how old we are!

By learning to build your body in accordance with the laws of nature (holding your head correctly, placing your feet, feeling axes, etc.), you can create harmony within yourself, which transforms into external beauty at any age.

The main thing is the desire to grow, develop physically and discover new human properties in ourselves - while we do this, we do not grow old, but grow!

“If a person ceases to be attentive to himself, he does not know anything about the internal content of his body, about the healing power of breathing, then aging, in the end, takes captivity - both from the inside and outside. Obsolescence is a normal phenomenon for all living things, but it should not lead to crookedness and ugliness, Natalie Droen is sure. – A woman should not grow old and become exhausted without managing herself, without protecting her physical and spiritual health. Otherwise, over the years, everyday life will completely press it to the ground, and aging will destroy it completely. But a woman can always be reborn! And after 40 years, and after 50, as in my 86 years - there can be a new round and flourishing!

Body weight correction, or why do we get fat?

Our body in space strives for stability and balance. If the foot is not properly positioned or the knees are not in the axes (go in or out), the hips or pelvis are displaced in any direction, then our body begins to accumulate water in those places that balance the imbalance of the body position in space to provide the necessary stability . If we stoop, for example, then our ribs begin to squeeze the internal organs, as a result of which the body turns on their protection mode and accumulates water in the abdomen to protect the internal organs from strong compression. Accordingly, if we learn to properly position our body in space (feet, knees, hips, pelvis); we will control the position of the back, shoulders, neck and head; if we acquire a healthy habit of sitting, standing, walking correctly, our body will no longer need to create a protective ballast of fluid throughout the body, which will gradually lead to a significant decrease in the total mass and excess volume in problematic female areas.

Also, in the matter of weight adjustment, the study of its properties will also help. For example, if you are a person prone to accumulating a wide variety of information, accustomed to keeping a lot of facts, figures, and so on in your head, your body is also forced to accumulate a large amount of fluid in its tissues, since water is a kind of depot for storing any kind of data. . In this case, I will advise you to "merge" information on any media (electronic, paper) and store it there, not to keep too much in your head, which will eventually allow you to get rid of excess water and, accordingly, body mass and volume. Not only the accumulation of information, but also the tendency to accumulate a variety of things (buy, collect, store in large quantities), can also contribute to weight gain. A person with this property accumulates inside himself (liquid, body fat etc.) "just in case". One of interesting ways to cope with the consequences of the tendency to hoarding is to give a tithe or some part of things / money to charity, and anonymously. In this case, the property "greed" is replaced by "generosity" (see the "Properties" chapter).

If problems with body weight are associated with overeating, then it is necessary to track the lack of what pleasures from life we seize (sex, family, self-realization, and much more). To cope with the lack of emotions, sensations and experiences that we confuse with hunger and try to drown in cakes and buns, we need to start making lists of where else, besides food, we can enjoy. It can be, for example, a hot aromatic bath with candles; interesting movie or book; just a pleasant conversation with a creative person, etc.

Keep in mind that obese people most often have lower back problems (bending of the spine), which not only deprives them of freedom of movement, but also makes it problematic for the passage of vital energy, and this is a vicious circle that CAT techniques will help to cope with. By studying your body, its structure, your properties, you will be able to answer yourself the question of why you have excess weight, and learn to fill the body with more than just food.

A harmonious silhouette is the basis of health

Not only weight, but also body proportions can be significantly corrected using the CAT technique: change the shape of the arms, legs, abdomen; significantly reduce the waist; visually increase the volume of the breast.

Reduce the size of the hips by changing the position of the pelvic bones, and the waist - as a result of acquiring a new skill to correctly position the ribs.

You will very soon begin to admire your stomach, having strengthened the muscles of the abdominal wall with special exercises and lengthening the muscles of the lower back.

You will very soon begin to admire your stomach, having strengthened the muscles of the abdominal wall with special exercises and lengthening the muscles of the lower back.

The chest will become visually larger with the technique of "pulling the ribs together and up" and correct location shoulders - this will improve your posture in general.

The “flaccid” triceps that worries many women can also really be brought into excellent tone by learning how to properly hold the elbows and wrists.

Wellness

In addition to a significant improvement in overall well-being, as a result of regular exercise, we can eliminate stoop and other curvatures of the spine, improve the functioning of internal organs and systems, and get rid of chronic diseases. This technique will help restore optimal metabolism, normalize blood pressure, and make the general emotional state stable.

And most importantly, we will learn to listen to our body in order to recognize alarm bells and prevent the development of certain diseases. In the process of training, we will restore the natural skill to understand our body, read what it signals to us, and take care of it not from time to time, but constantly.

In our body, everything is interconnected: the internal state and appearance, mood and well-being.

It is impossible to heal the body, coping only with the symptoms.

It is necessary to work with the whole complex system.

Relationship between internal state and external location

It is very important to realize that there is a direct relationship between how I feel and how my body is positioned. At will, we can change the “bad” state to the “needed/desired/good” state with the help of breathing and a special setting of the body. Only by changing the posture, we literally in a matter of seconds can “turn” into another person: from depressive to joyful and optimistic, from indecisive to ready to take responsibility and act.

To do this, it is necessary to study which positions of the body cause certain states, listen to what our body “tells” us about ourselves. Thanks to new positions of the body, we will have the opportunity to achieve states that were completely uncharacteristic of us before or to awaken forgotten childhood sensations. We will learn how to quickly leave the "bad" states and hang in the "good" ones for a longer time.

We are studying. Trying on. We train.

We transform ourselves with the help of a pose.

Lightness of Being

The Law of "TOP KEEP BOW" - (also known as "as above, so below") is fundamental in the Sacred Architecture of the Body.

The head holds the spine, the sacrum holds the legs. We push off from the ground and feel light if we do not fall down under the weight of life's problems and negative thoughts.

When we learn to hold our heads correctly (look not at sky-high distances and not “below the plinth”, but at the horizon); when we are able to harmoniously distribute weight between the right and left halves of the body; at the same time, if we manage to relax our shoulders, tighten our stomach, straighten our hips, lower our sacrum and stand firmly on our feet, then we will feel that Nature herself is holding us in her arms. Our vertical - the spine - is located between heaven and earth, energy flows through it. And if we feel it, then we feel a connection with the outside world. The more stable we stand on our feet in the literal sense, the more confident we feel in society and more effectively realize ourselves in life.

Standing on my feet correctly, I feel stability. Now I am in control of my own life. I feel calm and confident because I am friends with my body.

Sacred Breath

What does it mean to "breathe properly"? There is a certain technique that allows you to learn how to inhale and exhale air with benefit. Thanks to CAT breathing exercises, we strengthen the entire respiratory apparatus, increase the volume of the lungs, our breathing becomes deep and conscious, and this, in turn, allows us to relieve stress, nervous clamps, improve speech quality and voice timbre, cleanse the lungs, and cure respiratory diseases. .

Preparing for breathing exercises

Fill the air with your favorite scent (you can use essential oils or perfume), ventilate the room, create a pleasant temperature in the space. Now you can breathe in the air like on a seaside vacation - with pleasure, for a long time and delicious! You can close your eyes and imagine a beautiful picture, a place where you breathed with pleasure.

Remember how young children "smell" the weather. They do not grumble at rain and frost. Rejoice in the air with pleasure in any weather. Let the breath become longer and calmer.

Don't rush to breathe. Do it using inner properties and sensations: love, tenderness, patience, peace.

Imagine that in space, right in the air there is energy, strength - everything that you need in this moment. And when you inhale, you can easily get all this.

Exhalation must also be conscious. Imagine that you exhale not only carbon dioxide, as we were taught at school, but what you received when you inhaled and mixed with everything wonderful that you have inside - with your natural properties(including love, beauty, peace, kindness, truth, wisdom, blessing, etc.). And you exhale all this “Good” with Gratitude - you give good to the world - after all, in fact, there is nothing bad in you, everything bad is just a lack of good, and you cannot breathe out a lack!

Listen to how the body wants to grow with the exhalation. The shoulders will remain in place, and the chest will barely noticeably rise. This is important point. It will take training to learn how to raise the chest on the exhale, instead of lowering it. “Growing” with each exhalation is the state when you replace aging with growth.

How to raise the chest on the exhale?

We lift and gather the ribs from the sides together and up. First, we turn on the muscles in the lower abdomen, then the lateral and intercostal ones. Gradually and gently combine this movement with a calm, smooth exhalation.

While inhaling, you can, on the contrary, lower the chest a little in order to raise it along with the exhalation from the bottom of the abdomen. This movement in the body also helps us to lengthen the spine. The purpose of such a breathing exercise is to create a new habit: instead of exhaling with a sigh, when “the chest falls on the stomach”, which we do when we are tired or short and shallow breathing, we exhale with straightening the spine and lifting the chest. So we do not hunch over to old age, but, on the contrary, we accustom ourselves to constantly stretch out, resisting the forces of gravity.

How to transform pain in the body into pleasure?

We can use our body to understand what exactly we are missing, to detect pain and fill the resulting emptiness or tightness with attention, energy, love and all those sensations that should arise in us instead of emptiness or pain.

If we want to achieve a tangible transformation of the body, we need to recognize the problem or pain in the body and turn it into pleasure. This can be achieved through the practice of combining attention, breathing and, do not believe it, “request”!

How it works? Pain is always a lack of fulfillment that requires attention. When something hurts, our body sends a signal to the brain that there is a problem in the body. What does a person do when receiving such a signal?

1. Lives with it as before, especially when the discomfort is not strong, and the pain occurs sporadically (it hurts your back while driving, your wrists ache a little when working at a computer). In a word, he ignores the ailment.

2. Tries to deal with pain.

As a rule, if we choose the first solution - we continue to live the same way as we lived before, it appears chronic illness, which is likely to shorten your life and affect its quality.

If we choose the latter, then the reaction to pain becomes an appeal to specialists - doctors who, in our opinion, are able to solve problems. However, recent studies show that most chronic pain does not occur due to some disease that requires medical treatment, but due to stress and physical inactivity. The energy generated in the process of digestion and strong emotional experiences is not consumed, but accumulated in some part of our body, in a muscle, for example. There is a muscle spasm. We experience pain. But the drugs don't help.

The scientific name for this condition is myofascial syndrome. Doctors treat him with antidepressants. But you can manage on your own. After all, who knows your body better than yourself? Everyone can manage the resources of his body!

How to deal with such pain on your own? The first thing to do is to find out the source of pain, to understand its nature. We try to listen to ourselves, pay attention to those places in which discomfort static or pain on movement.

Having determined what exactly hurts you, it is not necessary to go into the medical atlas and try to understand what is in this place. It is enough just to concentrate attention in the place of pain and realize this point or zone as a lack of filling. Now, having determined the place of pain, we proceed to the transformation - we fill this area with attention, accompanying correct breathing. Concentrating on trouble spot It is important to breathe calmly, measuredly and deeply. Never hold your breath!

The next stage is a request or appeal to God. I will try to explain without using religious or mystical language, or rather, without being attached to any specific system worldview or religion. All people on Earth live in the Faith. Even the most inveterate atheists believe that there is no God, respectively, this is their faith. Therefore, we can safely assume that each person can use the property of Faith.

I mentally turn to God with a request to fill my pain or lack of energy, the necessary property, love.

I don't know why I have this pain. But I want to transform, to change so that this pain or lack disappears. The combination of these three elements - attention, breathing and requests - this is the mechanism of body transformation.

Every time I perform the correct movement, I accompany it with breathing and attention. In case of pain and discomfort, I try to increase the concentration of attention in this area, mentally trying to penetrate it deeply enough. FORMING INSIDE A REQUEST to transform pain into pleasure, to fill this place with the necessary property and state.

In response, I get a new, changed state of the body. Sometimes right away, sometimes our biological body needs some time to rebuild. It is important after I perform the “attention, breathing and request” action to express gratitude, as if the necessary effect has already been achieved and my request has been fulfilled, even if I have not yet fully felt it.

By exercising only twice a week, you create a real, working mechanism for conscious control of your body and internal state FOREVER!

Classes do not require special conditions - gym or expensive equipment. You can do the exercises anytime, anywhere.

There are no age or health restrictions.

2. Light exercise that will make you beautiful and desirable

body axes

central axis of the body. Vertical

Our legs and arms have duality (left and right), as well as integrity - they are connected in the middle. Between the two parts of the body, which should look "mirror" and be (as far as possible) symmetrical, there is a vertical that runs along the spine from the crown to the projection between the legs at the level of the feet. In order to better feel, understand and realize how the body is "mirror" located in space and what is the vertical (central axis) that keeps us in symmetry, we explore all the other axes of the body proposed by Natalie Droen (founder of CAT).

stop axes

In the foot we observe cruciformity. Two axes create this cross, at the intersection of which we feel a special point of contact with the Earth. One axis runs from the "top of the heel" through the second toe (+/- cm). The second axis runs perpendicular (or almost perpendicular to the first) along the joints between the proximal phalanges and the metatarsal bones (these are the knuckles on which we stand on our toes, provided that the fingers are not pressed to the floor). If we consider the shape of the triangle of the foot, then there will be at least three (or four) such knuckles.

It is very important to "stand" on the ground on both feet, evenly distributing the load.

Do not transfer body weight to the outer or inner part of the foot - this can cause bunions.

By the way, this is why you should not use shoes with heels.

Wearing it leads to improper pressure on the foot, which can also lead to pain and curvature of the natural shape of the foot.
