Core principles

An animal symbolism for spiritual healing is a snake. I notice when diving deeper into Spiritual Psychology we find ourselves growing rapidly internally when connecting to a spirit animal and/or a higher power reconnecting with nature and finding a more simple version of ourselves. Allowing simple alterations to our mind, body, and spirit that have a life changing effect. Back to the basics of things. 

​

Appreciation: Most people don’t appreciate kindness until they have been brutally abused; Physically, verbally, emotionally mistreated. Most people don’t appreciate food until they felt a growing ache in their bellies and most people don’t appreciate water until being completely dehydrated with parched lips and so many more don’t show gratitude for shelter until being left out in harsh elements such as freezing weather with hail drops not light droplets of rain. My source of empathy really does come from a deeply rooted sense of pain. I would not do this purposely to anyone but as you read what I wrote you realised how accurate that is. With that alone gave you more appreciation for the simplicity of basic needs. As well as communication.  

​

 Change: Change is usually desired when you realise this isn’t the path you want to continue on. When you realise it's a basic revolving fact about life it sets the tone at ease. Change is constant and can be as unpredictable like the flip of a dime. As time passes by wisdom occurs that's when the realisation factor occurs it's about how you react to the changes that sets your course for the ship you're sailing; onto friendly harbours, or rough seas. With constant exposure to change our habitual habits take over (Fight or Flight).The Amygdala.That's why you need this part of your brain to be strong. When the distance you need to travel seems too long to reach, remember the joy comes from being in the present of the journey, not the long awaited destination.  

  

 Understanding: I also seek to understand the pain of another because my life has been filled with so much tragedy. This is where I find the deeply rooted of their loneliness and their feelings of not being accepted by others for their differences. My aim isn’t to exploit fragile moments of the past but to relate it to my own. With shared moments we understand we really aren’t alone. There is a silent comfort when you know I have been there too. Once you adapt my philosophy and begin to utilise my developmental studies you begin to think like I do. Then helping someone in pain will naturally occur inside of you as well. 

​

Respect: Martial arts is a good way to truly bond with other beings. The sweat, the aching of muscle fatigueness, the gratefulness of your partner who's better than you eases up the pace then begins to teach you how to be better. Frankly, there is a difference between respect for a person's fighting ability and a person's character. How does this person interact with others, are their morals just or unfit. Are their actions true to their words or is it all bullshit. Things like this all play a part in respecting someone. Personally I would rather be loved than feared by others. 

​

Growth: Every value above this strengthens this value. Growth from who you were before you stepped onto this path, those that now accompany you on this journey towards a better you. Sometimes you don’t realise the change until someone tells you. “You changed.” And in your heart at this point you would know it was all for the better. Noone in our life stays forever. Appreciate the good people while they're in it and do like the bible says forgive those that hurt us and forget them right out of our lives.
