"The Trinity Triad"

"The Trinity Triad" is made up of 3 beasts-

·         The Fire Wolf,

·         Dragon Eagle and

·         Philosophical Lion.

Each of them has their own special qualities. The wolf symbolizes strategy and team spirit. They hunt in packs. Just like them, we humans need the company of others like us to face the extreme endeavours. The Fire Wolf also as the name implies is made of fire....the fire of ambition, fire to do something great and different than others.

The Dragon Eagle is a mystically powerful beast. It is the beast that is capable of rebirth. Dragon Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle. When Moses went to commune with God on the mountain, he left the crowd at the foothills.  Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles have a strong vision. They see and obliterate the prey with convergent focus. Eagle loves storms. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm's winds to lift it higher. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out.

We too can take some time to philosophize our decisions when we are stuck at a low point in life. Then we can "KICK SOME ASS" afterwards.

Philosophical Lion is a silent lion. It is protective, brave and always willing to fight. But, he is a loner may be because he undertakes too risky matters. He has confidence to think and break on through to the other side. Undoubtedly the Lion is the leader of "The Trinity Triad". Even though he is at the bottom of the totem pole. Leadership equates responsibility. And thus the Fire wolf and Dragon Eagle rest on Lion's responsible shoulders.

Fear or Anxiety - Exactly what it is?

Most of us make some distinction between fear and anxiety. Sometimes it's merely a matter of linguistics. We say we have a fear of something (flying, aging) and anxiety about something (flying, aging).

Sometimes we distinguish the two by our bodily experience. I'm sure you're aware that the neurobiology of fear is different than the neurobiology of anxiety. The sudden re-arrangement of your guts when an intruder holds a knife to your back (fear), is different from the mild nausea, dizziness and butterflies in your stomach as you're about to make a difficult phone call (anxiety).

Anxiety is also the word of choice to describe lingering apprehension, or a chronic sense of worry or tension, the sources of which may be totally unclear. But the notion that "fear" always connotes something bigger and stronger than "anxiety" breaks down in real life experience.

You can have a short-lived fear response to the bee buzzing around your face, and you can wake up at three in the morning awash in anxiety that won't let you get back to sleep. When the distinction between "anxiety" and "fear" isn't critical to the discussion at hand - Anxiety, apprehension, fear, terror--however you name it, what matters is how you cope. In everyday conversation, we use the language of emotions that we're comfortable with and that fits our psychological complexion. "Stressed" is the codeword for "totally freaked out" for people who are allergic to identifying and sharing their own vulnerability.

Whatever your emotional vocabulary, no one signs up for anxiety, fear and shame or for any difficult, uncomfortable emotion. But we can't avoid these feelings, either. I am convinced that the more we can look these uninvited guests in the eye, with patience and curiosity, and the more we learn to spot their wisdom as well as their mischief, the less grip they will have on us.

Only when we experience our emotions as both potential stumbling blocks and wise guides--not either/or--can we begin to live more fully in the present and move into the future with courage, clarity, humor, and hope.
