Awareness-

Throughout history every teacher, guru, philosopher, priest, priestess, sage has never taught anything other than awareness. Awareness, consciousness, is the most important thing before, during, and after this existence we call life. The quality of your life will be determined by the consciousness you have (consciousness also pertains to utilizing or not utilizing the knowledge/awareness you have). You adapt to your environment by the awareness you have and you gain awareness by learning, both consciously and unconsciously (to your mind anyway). We are constantly learning. All we ever do is learn, as at our core we are consciousness and we learn by what we increase our awareness about.

Body-

Awareness comes into the body merging the immortal with the mortal form making us Human (the word human comes from the Sanskrit word HU (God) Mana (Life in flesh). This is why the body is considered a temple in many religions – not necessarily to worship the body but to realize that inside it is where the Divine lives. This is why it is important to take care of your body. It is the vehicle of your life in this existence.

Breath-

You begin your life in this body as it leaves your mother’s womb and comes into the outer environment, taking its first breath. And when you take your last breath it is over. Breath is spirit. The word spirit comes from the Latin word spiritus which means breath. If you want to be more spiritual there is a big clue here. The greatest influencer of the physical body, mental focus, and changer of consciousness is the breath. Breath can relax you, balance the hemispheres of the brain, detox the body, energize you, and take you to deep states of consciousness. Breath energizes and propels the organism. There are many breathing processes shared in the Senshin-Jutsu section.

Movement-

At the core of our human existence is body movement. No living organism is ever perfectly still. The body responds to feeling inputs it receives at an unconscious level to regulate the health and protection of the organism and at a conscious level you make controlled movements engaging with the outside world. The quality of the health of the organism depends on body activity to exercise its parts and exploring the movement process allows for a deeper and more expanded experience in the exterior world environment. As a default, unconsciously the organism seeks comfortability.

Sound-

Sound energies create and manifest life. In the Bible it states in the beginning was the Word (sound). Our voice is our intention manifest in the world and in our bodies. The world needs better tonality in order to be in harmony. The better your tonaliy the better you feel. The better you feel the better your life is. Simple to say but more difficult for some of us to do. Speak with good purpose and good tonality.
