Spirit Stream or something to that effect (sen means river or stream; shin means heart or spirit) I also think the kanji may be 洗心

Hate to break it to you...but the first kanji 洗...while it can be read "sen"...is read "arao", which means "to wash"

You would find it in 洗濯機 .....washing machine

The sound "Shin" has a number of meanings...depending on the kanji
...all these are pronounced shin

心 - heart
寝 - sleep
真- truth
信 - honesty
芯- wick (like a candle wick)
新 - new
臣- retainer
親- relative
讖- prophecy

to name a few!

As I suspected, then. Silly, silly language... Constructed solely to confuse us poor gaijin.

Dear hkphooey,
What do you mean by Kyokushin Senshin? And where did you learn the phrase from?

OSU!

Kyokushin senshin? What's that?

Kyokushin Senshi = Kyokushin Fighter = 極真戦士
Kyokushin Senshin = Kyokushin Fighting Spirit(guessing) = 極真戦心

Hope this helps. Osu.

It seems senshin also can mean to devote yourself to something.

専心【せんしん】
(n,vs) undivided attention; concentration

Can also be used as a verb, e.g.　彼は勉強に専心している。　"He's devoting himself to his studies"

I think you're trying to say kyokushin seishin (seishin meaning spirit, same word they use in the dojo-kun), or kyokushin senshi (senshi meaning a fighter/warrior)

In these cases, it will be:
kyokushin seishin - 極真精神
kyokyshin senshi - 極真戦士
