�Let the lover be

disgraceful, crazy,

absentminded.

Someone sober will

worry about events

going badly.

Let the lover be.�

Yesterday, i was obliged to watch regular TV. Nearly an hour and a half of it. It made me sick. I had to do intense inner Practices to deplete the violent power of the vibratory intensity of the television waves upon my cells.

May that never happen again. It seems unbelievable that millions of people are addicted to such wanton witchcraft preying upon undisciplined senses.

The worst part arrived when �the news� came on.

Listen Noble Warriors. Your feeble coach may not know much. But i do know this much: what appears on the TV and the newspapers and the magazines is NOT NEWS.

It is sensationalism of people�s misfortune, greed, and lack of engaged religion and spiritual Practice. The Masters warned about this era (Kali Yuga). It requires very skill-full warriorism to live peacefully, share benevolently, live strongly, and dance true to our Souls.

People are only as kind, giving, and loving as their Teachers. TV, newspapers, and magazines are for the most part not go(o)d Teachers.

Gandhi said that revolution must start �within each individual, one at a time.� If those newscasters truly did what they did impeccably, their consciousness would not allow them to broadcast chronic violence and sensual sensationalism. Nor could the producers of the �news.�

We must Practice more diligently, Noble Ones! Of this, i am convinced. The outer world is not about us versus them.

It�s about us, baby. We must live more strongly, more radiantly, more Lightly upon Mother Earth than ever before.

I�m game…are you?

Real News:

* Emanuelle Sella. Italian neo pro during Stage 11 of the Giro d�Italia. 22 years old. launches a solo attack at the peleton on a course that is over 150 miles in length and finishes with 5, count �em 5, mountain climbs. 90 degrees heat. the peleton is flying; average speed is close to 38 mph. Little Sella lays his Soul, his Faith, his Determination and pure GUTS on the road and stays out in front of 160 pro cyclists for 4 hours. each pedal stroke exacting a shriek of pain from his gasping mouth. headwinds forcing into a posture that makes Utkatasana (chair pose) seem like kindergarten. Dehydration dances with heat exhaustion, oxygen debt, muscle glycogen depletion, and lactic acid. the peleton cranks up their collective speed to shut down and shut up this rookie and reaches to within one and half minutes of the suffering Sella. 15 miles and three mountains still to go. Sella keeps glancing back in birdlike fashion to see how close is the charging, hissing, pissed off peleton. Sella cares not and presses even deeper into himself, mining whatever energy is available to propel him up an 18% climb. this is yoga on a bike; breath, movement, inner spirit fused into ONE!

not watching the Giro? i pity you, for this is great and valid human endeavor. the Giro has been going on for nearly two weeks and one more to go.

did Sella win? yes, by thirty teeth clenching, kneecap popping seconds after 6 hours of racing. you should have seen his Italian family at the finish line! this my friend, is what NEWS is all about. it�s on OLN network. jao!

news is when peaceful warriors, fitness warriors are true and brave and noble to their Soul�s work…it can mean being noble during a bicycle race or just getting your ass into yoga class and making progress on that painful hip or lower back. into the gym; being elegant and focused. the variety of fitness and lifestyle principles which dance among WF is what creates integrity of self and elevation of spirit.

* To Hans Halmosi of Stuttgart, Germany who has been here in LA for a Private Intensive with me. Hans has won the warrior hearts of the HP Yoga Cave by this faithful, humble efforts. Hans, knowing he had fear of yoga but was strong in running (he was done two marathons) and strength training (he LOVES Green Tara workouts!) knew he needed professional help to have him break through his fear of yoga. As i calculated my available teaching tools to turn on the Light of Yoga for Hans, i played off of his occupation. Hans is mechanical engineer. I knew then that Hans would be easy to turn on the Light of Yoga. For what is mechanical engineering but interior logistics? Same as Yoga! Yoga is nothing but understanding and eventually embracing and developing our internal logistics! Yogins are trained to find the tension, ferret out the weakness of body and mind and then monitor it in measured dosages of conscious breath.

Yesterday, i receive this email from Hans:

�Dear Steve,

thank you very much again for the intensive with you. I received more than I

expected, both in terms of WF and all the nice people I have met. So I fly

home happy with a lot of momentum to go on!

I am pretty sure that this was not my last intensive with you and that we

meet again.

With Best Regards,

Hans

PS: Could you please give me some information about the conditions and terms

of online training? Thanks in advance.�

UP NEXT in DL? SOOOO MUCH MORE!

Dance your Breath,

Sweat your Prayers baby!

namaste,

coach ilg
