October: One of the months of Earth!

October is one of the months in which we practice the concept of Earth. The philosophy of Seibukan Jujutsu is based on the natural elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and the Void, as understood through working with Consciousness and Balance.

As part of this training, the Earth level represents a dedication to believing in one's self and in accomplishing one's goals through Hibi Tanren - every day training!

The element of Earth, demonstrated through nature as a peaceful mountain, a strong, polished river rock, and a patient and powerful bear, exemplifies the concepts of Patience, Inner Strength, and Commitment.

The concept of Earth also symbolizes the third part of the triangle of Awareness, Assessment, and Action, which encourages us to take decisive Action with confidence and commitment to our goals!
