THE
HOLISTIC WARRIOR
PROGRAM
Thomas J. Nolan III, PhD
The Holistic Warrior Program
represents a system that is divided into three main components: a philosophy, a
set of teachings, and practical exercises.
This system addresses the concept of our oneness, and inner-relatedness
with all things. It changes our daily
focus from struggling against life, to flowing with life, as we strive to
conquer the outer self (the conscious mind) and achieve harmony with the inner
self and higher self.
The Holistic Warrior Program addresses all
three-program components by stimulating participants to evaluate their own
beliefs about the way life "should be"; their attitudes about
themselves and others, as well as their experiences and their behaviors that
dictate what they get out of life.
Living a
balanced life, constantly growing, learning, and evolving into the next level
of human development.
The purpose of the Holistic Warrior Program is to
provide techniques to enable the development of each participant's pathway to a
peaceful and harmonic relationship with him or her self, others, and “All that
Is”.
This program utilizes an experiential approach where
participants are encouraged to integrate the information and materials they
receive with their own experiences as well as those of the program leader. This process creates a synergistic action
that automatically raises the energy level, understanding, and stability of the
participants.
Anyone who has or would like to assume responsibility
for his or her life and how it works.
Assuming responsibility focuses on the elimination of both judgment and
blame, knowing there are no mistakes in life, only results.
The Holistic Warrior Program is formatted into
seminar sets and modules. These sets and
modules can be interchanged to design programs that are individual and group
specific. The seminars are offered in both at-large and in-house formats.
"The Path of the Holistic Warrior" is an eclectic
and innovative program. It is designed
to create a fulfilling and balanced lifestyle that maximizes human potential to
achieve physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth and maturity.
"The Pathway of the Holistic
Warrior" can be described in terms of a Philosophy, Teachings, and A Way
of Life. It is based on the following
set of assumptions:
· We
create our own reality.
· The
reality we create is based on our ingrained Belief Systems
· Belief
Systems are multi-dimensional, dictating our ideas about the physical,
emotional, mental, and spiritual components of our lives
· Belief
Systems are formed from our interaction with authority figures (parents,
teachers, etc.) and other elements of our environment
· Belief
Systems constantly cause us to subconsciously select actions and reactions to
our environment
· Belief Systems are programmed or
controlled by thoughts, originating from both conscious and subconscious levels
· Belief
Systems and thus, reality can be changed by controlling thoughts on both
conscious and subconscious levels
· Be Still, Listen, and Peace Will
Come!
The philosophy of the Holistic Warrior can be found in the definitions
of Holism and Warrior. Holism can be
defined in terms of the following:
The whole is more
than the sum of its parts; the parts must be considered as well. The parts are interrelated, such that to
change the nature of any part automatically changes the other parts. The main concept of Holism is that "We
Are One with everything." The
problem is that we have lost conscious awareness of that knowledge.
A Warrior can be defined as:
Any individual who is engaged in a struggle or
conflict for or against something; in this case, the outer self. In other words, the Holistic Warrior struggles
against the outer self to reach the inner and higher selves. As it is written, "The Kingdom of Heaven
is Within."
In other words, the Holistic
Warrior seeks to conquer the outer self, create a balance between the inner and
outer selves, and thus become one with the higher self: ONENESS WITH “ALL THAT IS!”
The Holistic Warrior takes on a Student/Teacher role, in which each
interaction can be seen as lessons that can be learn. She seeks out those who have similar pathways
to obtain or reinforce these lessons.
The Holistic Warrior knows that all interactions can be seen as being
both positive and negative. Whether or not
a given interaction is positive or negative depends on how he chooses to take
the interaction. Therefore, the Holistic
Warrior takes each interaction as feedback to getting what she wants or in
terms of the lesson to be learned. The
bad is taken as evidence that his thoughts and behaviors need to be changed;
therefore, he focuses his attention and concentration on the good, thereby
completing the lesson or goal.
A Way of Life is obtain through practice, everyday practice. Practice is what everyone must do in order to
reach higher levels of understanding. It
is a pathway that allows us to make the most out of every experience we
have.
The Holistic Warrior
understands that the lives we live past, present, and future are designed to
lead us back to God consciously. This
pathway is followed in terms of our everyday experiences. That is, life is for experiencing;
experiences are to obtain understanding; and understandings leads to
wisdom. Through wisdom, we complete the
lessons we came to learn in this life.
The Holistic Warrior does not judge, blame, or
condemn. The Holistic Warrior realizes
that everyone does what he or she does in what they consider to be their own
best interest. Therefore, the Holistic
Warrior doesn't take the actions of others personally! By forgiving self and others in their daily
interactions, Holistic Warriors rise above the trials of life.
SEMINARS, GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL
WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Holistic Warrior workshops are held in individual, group, and seminar
formats, where each participant is able to maximize their learning potential in
an environment that best facilitates their educational experiences. These workshops are designed to provide a
wide range of practical and experiential exercises, to help you understand your
lessons from life's experiences.
The Tree is a
representation of the way we chose to evaluate the events we experience in
life. Each event is evaluated in terms
of being a positive, negative, or neutral experience. Many times, we find ourselves experiencing
events that are represented by the negative part of the tree. We get so deeply involved in that negative
experience we forget we are the tree. We
are out on a limb and think we are only a leaf.
At this point, we usually let go, which allows us to go to the trunk of the
tree where we can access the positive part of the tree. As we do, life becomes enjoyable again. However, when things are going good for too
long a period, we begin to wonder, "things are going to good, this just
can't keep up, something's got to go wrong now"! And of course, it usually does. Thus, life becomes a roller coaster, where we
go back and forth between the positive and the negative part of the tree.
By attending The Tree
seminar, participants learn a new pathway, by adopting the neutral part of the
tree viewpoint. The neutral part of the
tree represents a way of life where there's no judgment, no blame, no quilt, no shame; no mistakes, just
results; where all things, events, and experiences are seen as a pathway to
achieve harmony, happiness, and wealth.
A Wolly is defined as a habit
or pattern we created to solve problems and get us out of trouble that has gone
astray or out of control. It can be
explained in terms of a lawn mower. While
cutting the lawn, we go inside the house but we forget to cut off the lawn
mower. So, it keeps on cutting; birds,
bees, trees, and everything in its path, totally out of control.
Wollies are
created from our thoughts. Thoughts that
are out of control usually ends up in some form of disease or malfunction
within our body. Thus, by controlling Wollies, we also limit or eliminate our
predisposition to certain disease states.
By attending the
Wollies seminar, participants learn to utilize a four-stage process:
Many times we find ourselves in situations where we feel we have little
or no alternatives to deal with a particular problem. Once the problem is over, we then find that
there are now all kinds of alternatives.
What happened to change the number of alternatives we perceived?
Choices are
represented by the physiological, psychological, and goal-oriented states we
associate with our feeling. We are
brought up in a thinking society, where we are trained to solve problems using
some type of thinking process. As we
rely solely on this process, we find ourselves in a particular mindset that is
activated by doubt, anxiety, fear, and frustration. Once activated, we are locked into this
mindset until the problem is resolved or the crisis is over. Then the mind is freed, and of course we can
perceive more alternatives.
By attending the Choices
seminar, participants learn to utilize a four-stage process that allows an
individual to dictate his or her own mindset anytime or anywhere:
The Relationship workshop is a
natural extension of how we deal with Choices. The choices we make in relationships are
influenced by the unresolved issues we have with our parents or guardians. The nature of the ensuing relation-ship is
usually based on a concept of possession.
In other words, the choices we make in a given relationship are
influenced by unresolved issues and we try to keep them by possessing the
person.
By attending the Relationship
seminar, participants learn to utilize a four-stage process:
Where do you go when you dream?
Who's in control? Do you remember
your dreams? Do you have nightmares or
dreams that trouble you? Do you dream of
falling or flying? Do you have recurring
dreams or dream things that come true?
Dreams represent
our own private theater or workshop.
Here we are the actor/actress, director, producer, critic, and
everything in the dream. Through
dreaming, we act out our problems, diagnose our illness, and predict our future
directions along life's pathway.
We spend one-third of our lives dreaming, so, it must
be a very important state of consciousness.
Dreams are designed to teach
us that every obstacle is really an opportunity to learn. Dreams
are pure thought and operate on a different set of rules where we learn to
create everything we need to get what we want in life.
As we understand the purpose of dreaming, we can
transfer this knowledge to our normal state of consciousness and create what we
want in life, including happiness, wealth and harmonious relationships.
By attending the Dream Clinic, you will learn to:
1.
Recognize the difference between dreams;
2.
Record and remember dreams;
3.
Decode and interpret dreams;
4.
Use dreams to solve problems
