THE WAY OF DANCING ENERGY

“There are two ways of looking at the world; energetically or statically. One way – the Eastern – views life as a flowing river of dancing energy. The other way – Western – attempts to stop, hold, categorize, and fracture the fluidity of the Universe. I like to prioritize the way of dancing energy in my day to day life. It’s just more fun and less stressful to me. It’s how I enjoy to ski, climb, cycle, make love, or do yoga. The way of dancing energy is certainly the way I prefer my nutrition! To me, consuming dead, decaying, processed, or engineered molecules does not turn me on. I don’t like the way those sub-stances make my breath, skin, and bodily functions smell or feel. Eating vibrant plants and cruelty-free herbs that buzz with life force however, do indeed make me feel go(o)d and I still outperform many athletes half my age in a variety of fitness elements. That is the type of lifedancing that turns me on!”

– Coach Ilg

I just gifted a collection of SUNRIDER products to a friend in return for her faithful leap into eating SUNRIDER herbs and using KANDESN skin care products. Must still be the ski jumper in me that likes to reward those who show faith, bravery, and determination in their fitness practice by leaping into new spaces. SUNRIDER is a clever part of the personal growth journey. It’s intimidating and easy to turn the other way. My friend rose above her initial skepticism and trusted in me enough to order Fortune Delight and Slim Caps. That is all it takes, because the integrity of the SUNRIDER products hits you like your first yoga class…the Light goes on big time after you directly experience it!

Truth is relative. Direct experience, not intellectualization, brings truth within.

A few weeks later and five pounds lighter with beaming skin, my friend asked for further counsel for her next step into SUNRIDER because she was feeling great since taking her leap into the herbs.

Writing this, I am reminded of the great Haiku poem by Basho:

“The old pond

A frog jumps in

The sound of water.”

That is what SUNRIDER asks of people; to jump in. Trust that its water will be just what you were looking for! If not, fine. Seek another pond, there are many.

Why bother jumping in? Because it’s fun to jump into new things. Dr. Chen, the smiling man behind the SUNRIDER herbs, smiles a lot because he knows damn well he has cornered the world market on the choicest herbs while the rest of the world scrabbles over scraps grown in paltry soil and environs. Have you ever seen the dried up herbs in most herb shops? Now, pop open a bulk container of NuPlus or smell a fresh cup of Calli Beverage! Pow! That Pow is CHI and it got there because Chen will use up to 12 lbs of raw herbs to produce 1 lb of product.

Dr. Chen is also smiling all the time because he knows he has sole access to the ancient herbal manuscripts (the ShaoLin monks used Calli beverage for their meditation and training sessions) and has combined that Eastern ancient knowledge with the best of the Western facilities by owning debt free the most sterile, expensive manufacturing, processing, and distribution facilities for premier quality herbs in over 25 countries.

Chen knows that the very MOMENT a person jumps into a particular SUNRIDER product (it does not matter if it is the Hand Cleansing Gel, Supreme Emulsion, or Calli Beverage) even the LEAST sensitive person will notice the profound SUNRIDER difference. Any SUNRIDER product you try will put the MAJOR hurt on any similar product. But we already know that, it’s trying to get others to try SUNRIDER that is the challenge because they will always to try logically think their way into the SUNRIDER pond. It doesn’t work that way, does it? You gotta jump in!

Take Kandesn’s Beauty Bar. Logically, you would not pay $12 for a lousy bar of face soap, right?

If you used the Basho’s frog faith however, and just LEAPT in and USED the soap, then several insights SPLASH into your Awareness:

1) there is absolutely no way you will EVER put another soap on your face again…

2) you use such a teensy tiny amount of the soap each time you use it, you realize that $12 bar of SUNRIDER soap is going to last you several months,

3) the lightly acidic composition of the soap gently cleanses but does not dry out your skin and you can literally feel the balanced state on your skin.

Suddenly you TRUST in Chen’s knowledge of herbs and realize it is a daily joy to benefit from his line of nutritional and skin care products.

Now, my friend that I was talking about? Well, she has a friend that is very skeptical about SUNRIDER. Predictable. Her friend told her, “Oh, you use those herbs that Steve uses, huh? Not me. I am waiting because I am going to RESEARCH every herb in those products until I know EXACTLY what are in those products!”

Fine, knock yourself out.

She may find out the ingredients of the products but she cannot figure out the accumulative CHI effect that comes from their ancient formulation, modern enhancement, and extreme concentration.

You can’t understand the intelligence of SUNRIDER’s products until you experience the products directly. That is why i bow to Dr. Chen. The brilliant authenticity and ancient wisdom of SUNRIDER can only be perused by the intellect but not understood until felt within. Dr. Chen even built a multi million dollar Museum of Chinese Herbology to educate Westerners in the intricate and several thousand year old science of herbs. You can go talk to him during his monthly SUNRIDER meetings. No other owner of such a vast enterprise is so accessible and giving of his time.

WHY SUNRIDER HERBS ARE LOW IN CALORIES BUT HIGH IN NUTRITION

To answer this question, we have to go back to my opening paragraph. Let me re-phrase it here: In life, there are certain crux choices one makes in terms of worldviews.

When it comes to the nature of the Universe, one can choose between seeing it as a movement or as matter. The Eastern mind chose Movement. The Western mind chose Matter.

Thus, if you ask a Western trained doctor his opinion on Vitashake or NuPlus (SUNRIDER’s whole-food basic nutrition powder), they will say something like, “Oh no, you cannot use that product as your main source of core nutrition because it has far too few calories and minuscule amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.” They say this because their Western educational upbringing conditions them to break things down into compartments. Their conditioning actually began in Greece, around 400 bc…so don’t get mad at them, they are mere shadows of their Western philosophy of breaking the flow of life into matter – known as “atomism.” Unfortunately, modern medicine albeit great for emergency room (yang) style of medical treatment, consistently kills and causes suffering to far more people that it cures. “We don’t know what we are doing in medicine. We’re really flying blind on an awful lot of important problems,” says Dr. Eddy of Duke University’s Center for Health Policy Research. I have personally known over ten close friends or students who have themselves or known a family member who have checked into a hospital for a regular checkup or minor condition and were killed by the doctors. The long list of ‘side effects’ from modern medicines is sure proof that there is room for Western improvement when it comes to understanding energy for health.

On the other hand, if you ask an Eastern doctor her opinion on Vitashake or Nuplus (or any other SUNRIDER herbal or skin care product), she will say something like, “Ahhh…yes, there is much CHI in this product! Very good, very good! You take!”

You see, the Eastern mind recognizes what nourishes movement. They don’t care so much about isolated matter.

Take a human being.

Now take a corpse.

What is the difference? Same molecules in both, right?

Far different movement, however.

Thank God!

Western food supplements focuses on engineering molecules (matter).

SUNRIDER focuses on sustaining and empowering chi (movement) within the body.

Westerners are brainwashed to believe that foods need to be examined and broken down into matter like calories, fats, proteins, etc.

But human energy is not about matter (calories).

It’s about movement (chi).

SUNRIDER herbs are powerfully concentrated chi.

Just as quantum physics has proved that a brick wall (formerly considered an epitome of ‘matter’) is actually 99.99% highly vibrating space, so too will the Western mind eventually realize that our bodies are 99.99% movement (or chi) and that only whole foods that vibrate with chi can truly nourish us!

May this month you continue to enjoy the daily nutrition of SUNRIDER’s extremely CHI concentrated products such as Fortune Delight and Vitashake. May you even be brave enough to replace your current soap with a KANDESN Beauty Bar and let yourself realize just how GOOD a chi filled, cruelty-free face soap feels. SUNRIDER products feel just as good on you, as they do within you!

May this month you tell your friends who are afraid of SUNRIDER that they can’t see new lands if they are afraid to lose sight of the shore.

They,

like Basho’s frog,

must JUMP in…

instead of trying to intellectually

“figure things out”…

which is

ultimately

as silly

as thinking

that a brick wall

is solid.

It ain’t.

Either are you.

You

are

Movement.

You

are

Chi.

Feed your body Chi

and

DANCE

baby!!!!

I bow to you,
