The Healthy Nature Principle is a most important rule in which PCC is based on.
This principle determines that we are equipped, from birth, with a large series of natural qualities and potential productive and helpful skills that we may use and express in order for us to maintain a more fruitful and happier life. Examples for healthy nature: Creativity, passion, optimism, spontaneity, flexibility, the ability to transform emotions into creation, self-love etc.
The rule is pretty simple: All these natural qualities and skills we are born with require attention, cultivation, and continuous practice.
That is — as long as you pay attention to your natural creativity, for example, as long as you cultivate it, practice it, and invest resources in developing it, you will have your creativity active and handy, ready to serve you for any purpose you may need.
However, once you do not pay attention to your healthy nature by practicing it and by cultivating it in a continuous way, you will get its opposite negative form that in some way or another will disturb you or limit your path towards happiness, fulfillment, and balance. Once you do not turn on the light you will get the darkness, and you will get addicted to it.
This phenomenon should not be perceived as a “punishment” rather as a “road sign” that keeps on noticing you about the healthy nature you forgot to invest your attention in.
So if you feel “stuck” it may be a great sign you have neglected your healthy nature of creativity. If you find yourself pessimistic it is a sign you haven’t practiced your natural optimism for quite a while. If you feel depressed and heavy it may be a sign you have neglected your healthy natural passion for too long. And this goes for many other kinds of healthy nature. We can either devote ourselves to practice them and grow with them or we can avoid doing so and we’ll get their opposite negative expression, and get addicted to it.
One of the main goals in PCC is to create a better awareness for this rule of life and to provide tools to start moving (transforming) from the places where we put our resources in coping with our negative nature (that will arise once we neglect the opposite one) into a path where we manage to awaken the healthy nature and at the same time to reduce the need for its negative to have a room in our life. The PCC process uses tools that “invite” and “stimulate” the person to update his choices and to realize that he has the power to turn his own darkness into light, through repetitive moments of transformation.
