Life Coaching Through The Sword

For centuries people have been fascinated with the sword; training properly with it is one way to learn more about ourselves. Employing the sword with Life Coaching helps to provide a focus for the mind, much like the postures in yoga allow the mind/body to focus. Amethyst Moon offers clients a unique opportunity to discover information about themselves while learning about the sword. Sessions consist of a combination of sword work and life coaching.

Kendo

Kendo is the evolutionary line of the samurai arts (live blades to wood to bamboo). Kendo uses a shinai (bamboo sword) for training and the movements are fairly structured in nature. Amethyst Moon uses Kendo to teach sword technique, proper breathing and breath control, endurance building, as well as learning to focus the mind and eventually work to a state where the body’s reflexes respond without thought. Kendo is the most structured of the forms Amethyst Moon teaches. Clients will discover blockages they did not even know they had, allowing them to clear old, destructive patterns and create new, healthy ones.

Chanbara

Chanbara was developed to allow students to engage in sparring at full speed and full force without risk of injury. Chanbara uses soft padded weaponry for training. The moves are much more varied than Kendo. Chanbara is used to teach awareness, focus, technique, and putting the use of sword techniques to the test. Amethyst Moon uses chanbara to free the mind and help the client learn to let the universe help them in the quest of their desires and goals.

Traditional Sword

The wooden sword (bokken or bokuto) is used to teach traditional stances and strikes. All of the training looks at posture, technical ability, self image, respect, focus, and self improvement. We find that our issues surface when working with the sword. In other words the sword is a medium to work on ourselves.

Amethyst Moon often includes iaido (the art of drawing the sword, making a cut and sheathing the sword) with any of the above sword instruction. Iaido can be a highly meditative sword art that helps you to hone proper sword technique, to increase awareness and to work on understanding of your relationship with the blade.
