FOLLOWING THE PATH/ONLNE STUDENT TOBE: AN ELEGANT FATHER WARRIOR/SUNRIDER STATS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES (again and again)!

Taking in the SUNRIDER HERB CHI in the support van between my pulls at the 508 where my team set a course record. These herbs bridge the gap between relying on regular foods to relying on pure Prana. Eating these herbs each day is eating as close as possible to the Life Force (Prana) as is currently possible on the planet – in my opinion. I am relying on these herbs once again on Saturday as i go for my second podium of the year at the Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon, along with the WF Sponsored; TEAM MOUNTAIN YOGIS! Read about SUNRIDER WARRIOR Alan, below, and see what effect the “WF Temple Garden Herbs” have had on his medical health…and he is just on Phase One!

But first,
some other Dharma within the WF Temple…

“As we follow the teachings and as we practice, we will inevitably discover certain truths about ourselves that stand out prominently: There are places where we always get stuck; there are habitual patterns and strategies that are the legacy of negative karma, which we continuously repeat and reinforce; there are particular ways of seeing things�those tired old explanations of ourselves and the world around us�that are quite mistaken yet which we hold onto as authentic, and so distort our whole view of reality.

When we persevere on the spiritual path, and examine ourselves honestly, it begins to dawn on us more and more that our perceptions are nothing more than a web of illusions. Simply to acknowledge our confusion, even though we cannot accept it completely, can bring some light of understanding and spark off in us a new process, a process of healing.”
-Sogyal Rinpoche

****ONLNE STUDENT TOBE: AN ELEGANT FATHER WARRIOR
“Dear Coach Ilg,

This morning, during my “normal” time to practice, I was sitting up on our
couch with little Silas sleeping on my chest, as he heaved and heaved,
trying to get a full breath of air. He has croup.

I had much time to think. I thought how much I love my son, my family and our house. Our
house of eight years now (long time for me) feels like a part of the family,
it has served us so well and is full of so many experiences and changes. I am attached to it,
even with its imperfections. I did not get mad that I was not on my yoga mat or Zafu,
I just observed and felt grateful that I could be there for my son. That was my yoga this morning.

The other thought I had was how precious breath is and how I so often take
it for granted, as I go about my day forgetting about my breath [yes, I do
lose my mindfulness at times 😉 ]. Silas was struggling just to stay
alive and to get some decent sleep. Breath is so precious, as is
mindfulness.”

My dear “feeble one”,
WF is for finders, not seekers… Send the love and it comes back when others are ready to awake.
We’ll follow our path, it will be as big as our hearts! And it will be what it will be.

Coach Steve,
������� If I could describe my�SR Journey this month into one word, it would�be “Outstanding”.��Since�last communicated with you approx. 1 month ago, I have been on SR Phase I ( 2 FD, 1 SD, 1 CN) and included�MetaBalance 44 ( 2 caps 3 x’s daily) , Dr. Chen Men’s Formula (�1 cap 3 x’s daily) along with�the Bowel cleansing regimen of Fibertone ( 2 caps 3 x’s daily) and VitaDophilus ( 1 packet daily).� Not to sound offensive, but�I certainly felt the�”shift in my bowel habits”. My bowels have been softer and firmer. In addition,�the MetaBalance has been the best multivitamin supplement, I have tried thus far.��
����� In addition, I�had�my annual�physical exam this month along with lab tests�by my Family Physician. My exam was fine but� noteworthy was my Lipid Panel and DEXA Bone Density studies ( I have Osteopenia changes in my Lumbar Spine and Hip). My Lipid studies �noted a Total Cholesterol: 141, Triglycerides: 34, HDL : 58 and LDL :78.�Being semi-vegetarian certainly has it’s rewards !!. Unfortunately, I losed some bone density in my hip but gained in my lumbar spine. I am scheduled to undergo a repeat DEXA in the next 7 months.������
����� Let me know when I can start Phase II. Previously, I had been on a once�daily ILG Supreme mixing Filtered Water and Soy Milk with 1 packet NuPlus Simply Herbs, 1 TBSP VitaFruit, 1 Packet Quinary and 2 caps Wu Chia Pi. Take Care.
