Ukuphupha inyoka kuvame ukuba wuphawu lwezinselelo empilweni yakho nalapho ukuphapha inyoka kuchazwa ngokuba nezitha. Kokunye kodwa lawa maphupho angaba nezincazelo ezihlukahlukene, kuhlanganise:
Ukwesaba okujulile noma ukukhathazeka
Ukuzulazula ushintsho olukhulu lwempilo
Ukubhekana namathonya anobuthi noma abantu abayizitha
Ukubhekana nokungaqiniseki noma ukungaqiniseki
Ubhekana noshintsho lomuntu siqu
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inyoka ephusheni lakho ishaya ngamazinyo ayo noma ikuqondise kokuthile, ukuba khona kwayo kunomfanekiso onamandla. Ngokuvamile, izinyoka zimelela ukubonakaliswa okujulile okungokomoya— okubonisa izingozi ezifihliwe noma ukuvuselelwa ngokuchithwa kwesikhumba sazo. Ake sibhekisise ukuthi iphupho lakho lenyoka lingavezani.
10 Wezincazelo ezijwayelekile zamaphupho enyoka
Nakuba izinyoka zinokubaluleka kwamasiko okuyinkimbinkimbi, ezinye izingqikithi ezivamile zikhona lapho zihumusha amaphupho ngezinyoka. Izinyoka zingabamba izincazelo ezihlukahlukene emaphusheni, ezimele ukuguqulwa, ukuphulukiswa, ukwesaba, noma imizwa efihliwe.’
Ukwengeza, uma kubhekwa isixhumanisi sabo esingokomlando nesono nobubi, la maphupho angabonisa nokukhathazeka noma umqondo ongemuhle. Kwamanye amasiko, amaphupho ezinyoka athathwa njengophawu oluhle, asebenza njengeziqondiso eziya eqinisweni elingokomoya. Kwezinye, izinyoka zifanekisela ububi noma ukufa.
Kulabo abanokwesaba izinyoka— owaziwa nangokuthi ‘Ophidiophobia’—dreaming mayelana nezinyoka bangase bazizwe becindezela kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nomuntu oba nephupho elingavamile ngezikhathi ezithile.
Njengazo zonke izincazelo zamaphupho, kubalulekile ukuzindla ngezimo zakho zamanje futhi usebenzise owakho umqondo nokucabanga mayelana nokuthi unembeza wakho angase azame ukukutshela ini. Ukusiza, ake sihlole izincazelo ezivamile zamaphupho enyoka ezimeni ezahlukene.
1. Impilo yakho iyashintsha
Amaphupho ezinyoka awahlali eyinto embi, ikakhulukazi uma zikhipha isikhumba. Lokhu kungathwala incazelo yoshintsho empilweni yakho. Kungasho ukuthi usulungele uhambo olusha, ushintsho, nokuvuselela. Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi somsebenzi omusha noma ubudlelwano, noma iphupho lingakutshela ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuyeka ukufihla ubuwena bangempela.
Ukuphupha ngenyoka kungabonisa ukuthi udlula enkathini yoguquko. Le ncazelo ithuthukiswa ngokuqhubekayo uma uthola isikhumba senyoka ephusheni lakho noma ubona inyoka ichitheka. Lolu wuphawu oluhle lokuthi uchitha lokho okungasakusizi, futhi udlulela engxenyeni elandelayo yohambo lwakho lwempilo. Ushintsho alulula neze, kodwa yazi ukuthi lolu shintsho lubalulekile ekukhuleni kwakho.
2. Unesinqumo okufanele usithathe
Uma uphupha ngezinyoka ezinamakhanda amaningi, lokhu kungabonisa ukuthi ulwa nezinketho eziningi futhi udinga ukunquma ngenkambo yakho yesenzo. Lokhu kungase kube ngenxa yokukhathazeka okucashile ohlangabezana nakho noma izehlakalo nezimo ezicindezelayo empilweni yakho.
Amakhanda amabili avame ukufanekisela ukuholwa ngezindlela ezimbili ezihlukene kodwa awakwazi ukukhetha ukuthi iyiphi indlela okufanele azibophezele kuyo. Babonisa isiyaluyalu sangaphakathi futhi bangahunyushwa njengokugudluza kwengqondo kumphuphi ukuze enze isikhathi sokuzicabangela nokuzihlola.
3. Ungase ube nesitha
Uyaphupha ukuthi izinyoka zikhona yonke indawo? Emaphusheni akhuluma ngokuzungezwa noma ukujahwa izinyoka, ukuhumusha kuvame ukubangela ukukhathazeka ngabantu abaphila impilo yomphuphi, ikakhulukazi uma ungaziboni izinyoka kodwa wazi ukuthi zikhona. Lokhu kusikisela ukuthi ingqondo ikhuthaza ukuhlolwa okuseduze kobudlelwane ngenxa yokwesaba isitha esifihliwe.
Kungasho futhi ukuthi uhlangabezana nobuthi empilweni yakho noma umuntu onobuthi okuzungezile. Uma kunezinyoka eziningi, kuba nomthelela omkhulu kulo muntu noma abantu empilweni yakho. Lokhu kungaba ngendawo yokusebenza enobuthi noma ngezinkinga zeqembu labangane, ukunikeza izibonelo ezithile.
4. Udinga ukugxila ekuzinakekeleni
Emasikweni ahlukahlukene, inyoka ingabonakala njengomfanekiso wamandla ocansi nesifiso. Ukuhunyushwa kwamaphupho ezinyoka ahlanganisa amagumbi okulala kanye nalawo lapho umphuphi edla noma edliwa inyoka kungabonisa ukwesatshiswa ngokusondelana noma isidingo sakho.
Ukuphupha izinyoka embhedeni nakho kungavusa ukwesaba, ukukhathazeka, nokuba sengozini. Izinyoka, ezivame ukuxhunyaniswa nengozi nenkohliso, ziguqula uphawu lwe-bed—Da lokuphumula nokuphepha—in lube umthombo wokungakhululeki nokungakhululeki. Leli phupho libonisa ukuthi izinguquko ziyadingeka ukuze kwakhiwe indawo ephephile nexhunyiwe. Qiniseka ukuthi uthatha isikhathi sokuzinakekela futhi uzinakekele, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ushintsha isimiso sakho sokulala, ukukhuluma nomlingani wakho, noma ukukhuluma nochwepheshe.
5. Unokuthile ongakuvumela
Amasiko amaningi abona izinyoka njengeziqondiso ezingokomoya, ezigcwele ukuhlakanipha mayelana nomhlaba wemvelo nongaphezu kwemvelo. Ngokuvamile zimelela ibhalansi phakathi kwamandla, kokubili ukwazi kanye nokuquleka. Ngakho-ke, ukubona inyoka ephusheni lakho kungaba uphawu lokuthi kufanele ulandele umuzwa wakho nendlela engokomoya ukuze ufunde okuthile okusha kunokuba uholwe abanye.
Ukubona izinyoka kufanekisela ukweqa, kuhlangabezana nezakhi ezingaphezu kwemingcele yakho evamile. Lokhu kungaba impumelelo yomuntu siqu yohlobo oluthile.
6. Unomuntu onobuthi empilweni yakho
Ukuphupha inyoka ihlasela noma ikulimaza kuwuphawu lokuthi uzizwa usongelwa umuntu onobuthi empilweni yakho noma ungase ube nenkinga engaxazululiwe naye. Lokhu kungaba umngane, ilungu lomndeni, othandekayo, noma uzakwabo. Lawa maphupho agcwele ukukhathazeka angase futhi amele umuzwa wokuvaleleka noma ongakwazi ukuxazulula inselele.
Uhlangothi oluhle lwaleli phupho elibi ukuthi kungase kube ucingo lokuvuka oludingayo ukuze ususe ubuthi empilweni yakho, uxazulule inkinga, noma ubhekane ngqo nenselelo.
7. Uyesaba okuthile
Uma uphupha ngezinyoka ezimangelengele noma ezinye izinyoka ezinobuthi, kungesinye isixwayiso sokwesaba noma ubuthi empilweni yakho. Ama-Rattlesnakes anganyakazisa imisila yawo ukuze axwayise izilwane ezidla ezinye kanye nabantu ngobukhona bazo. Ngakho-ke, ingqondo yakho enganakile iphinde ikuxwayise ngomuntu onobuthi noma isimo esesabekayo. Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo emitholampilo uLisa Lawless sichaza ukuthi i-‘a rattlesnake’s rattle iyisixwayiso kulabo abangase babe izilwane ezidla ezinye futhi ingase imele isexwayiso kuwe ekuphileni kwakho kokuvuka.’
8. Kufanele udlule ububi
Uma uphupha ngezinyoka ezikuluma, kungaphakamisa ushintsho oluzayo ekuqapheleni kwakho okungokomoya. Kungase kube ukuzama ukukutshela ukuthi kufanele uziqhelelanise nemicabango engemihle nokuziphatha okungasakhuthazi inhlalakahle yakho enkulu. Amaphupho mayelana nokulunywa yizinyoka angasho futhi ukuthi ufihle noma ungawasebenzisi amandla angaphakathi noma ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokubhekana nesimo esithile obukade usigwema.
9. Imizwa yakho iyavela
Ukuphupha inyoka emanzini ngokuvamile kubonisa imizwa ejulile noma imizwa engaxazululiwe ekhuphukela phezulu. Amanzi emaphusheni ngokuvamile ahlotshaniswa nemizwa, futhi ukuba khona kwenyoka kuphakamisa ukuthi okuthile okufihlwe ngaphakathi kokungazi lutho kwakho sekuqala ukuvela.
Uma amanzi ezolile futhi ecacile, lokhu kungase kubonise ukuphulukiswa ngokomzwelo, ukucaca, noma ukuzitholela wena. Nokho, uma amanzi emnyama, enesiphepho, noma edabukile, angase amelele ukucindezeleka ngokomzwelo, ukudideka, noma ukwesaba okucindezelwe.
10. Imingcele yakho yomuntu siqu iyahlolwa
Ukubona inyoka emzini wakho ephusheni kungase kungahlaliseki, njengoba amakhaya ngokuvamile efanekisela ukulondeka, ukunethezeka, nobuhlobo bomuntu siqu. Inyoka endlini yakho ingase ibonise ukungezwani okuyisisekelo phakathi komndeni wakho, indawo yomuntu siqu, noma imingcele yemizwa.
Ukuphupha inyoka ekamelweni lakho ingase iphakamise izinkinga zokusondelana noma izinkathazo ezifihliwe.
Inyoka ekamelweni lakho ingase iphakamise izinkinga zokusondelana noma izinkathazo ezifihliwe.
Inyoka egumbini lakho lokuphumula ingasho ukuthi amathonya angaphandle athinta amandla akho asekhaya.
Inyoka ekhishini lakho ingase ifanekisele ukukhathazeka ngempilo, ukondleka, noma ukuvikeleka ngokwezimali.
Uma inyoka icashile noma icashe emakhoneni, kungasho ukuthi uzwa inkinga kodwa uyangabaza ukubhekana nayo. Uma inyoka ihamba ngokukhululeka, ingase imele ukuguqulwa noma ushintsho oludingekayo empilweni yakho yomuntu siqu.
