ACTUAL ONLINE COACHING FACILITATION WITH STUDENT STILLNESS

Student Stillness, profiled in a DL this winter, is the author of
KEEP AUSTRALIA ON YOUR LEFT and is a professional kayak instructor in New York.

Dear Coach,
I am back to moving my kayaks at solid speeds! The shoulder/neck/buzz is nowhere to be found!

Most Noble Online WF Student Stillness!
� Dharma Blessings have Graced our Work two-gether.

RE:
I feel so energized paddling at full clip, this carries over into the next day. The recovery is good and I am able to do it again and again so far.

� this feeling is just the begINNING. just keep those WF Morning Rituals strong and sincere. it also helps greatly to be deeply thankful for your fitness throughout your day.

RE:
I am married to WF toilet yoga, neti, pranayama, and the inversion sequence you prescribed. This takes 40 minutes or so each morning as I give each aspect proper awareness.

� perfect!
now,
begin moving from “proper” awareness to Sacred Awareness.
how will you do this?

RE:
What I have lost in the transition so far are full fledged yoga sessions . I have done a spattering of sun salutations and will boost those before and after paddles.

� do not worry about this.

RE:
A very wonderful fellow named Dorian Walter has recently come back from the West Coast and has been taking the US mens K-1 champion to task. He is going to race on�a surfski�in Molokai in May. He has great faith that I will make an able K-2 partner with him someday and I must admit that is compelling. I have gotten the race bug again after thinking it was going to take all season to ease myself into higher speed paddling using Wing Paddles and the like.

� are you asking me anything here?

RE:
I am very aware of my movements in lifting boats, walking on the dock , picking up a piece of paper off the floor, etc.

� HUGE!
make EVERYthing your Asana; link Movement with Conscious Breath and you will find layer upon layer of Pran permeating the Dance of your Daily Actions. one day, you will find yourself in spontaneous IshvaraPranidhana, for i am piloting your Way toward this Direction.

RE:
My energy and temperament seems very solid and steady.

� this Equanimity (ekagrahara) is ‘cina’; a positive beacon of your progress in Pranayam. you are on Track, baby!

RE:
I am reengaging with this kayaking thing that I do and finding more enjoyment in presenting it to others.

� yes!
yes!
yes! this part of your sentence is absolutely HUGE! you must SHARE what you have to GIVE!
it was only a short time ago that you were feeling completely burned out, stale, in pain, in fear, etc…now, look!
your consistency in the unique WF Morning Ritual has evidently won you favor with the Gods…i bow to you.

RE:
I must order more sunrider herbs again as my supply has dwindled to the end.

� do NOT let that happen! ORDER NOW! the website is open 24/7 for this reason! you have little idea of just how
important this chi-feed to your cells is at this point in your Healing. do NOT miss out on your herbs; as i have written in my books; these herbs are the most uncoachable aspect of what i do; you must make the decision to remain absolutely consistent with my 3-Phase Approach to the SUNRIDER HERBS or you will lose a large, if not invaluable aspect of this Work.

RE:
I TAF that I made a solid and important shift in my shoulder girdle this winter through our training together. Also, I am starting to feel the medicine of the inversion work and the deep chords of strength it builds, slowly but surely.

� this is why i have prescribed what i have in the manner i have; slow AND sure…what did i Instruct you about the Word Choice “but”?! Pay ATTENTION!
your Work pivots upon your purification of the veil of Speech (MA!)

RE:
I am tempted by the Intensive you are offering in August. I will know more about its feasibility for me soon.

� you have now mentioned two fictional things that waste my time:
you need to order herbs (fiction, no action)
you will let me know about Red Mountain (fiction, no action)
remember, my Instructions to you; Past Tense (actions performed) mean something to my Work with you; not THINGS YOU ARE GOING TO DO…that is fiction and
wastes my time and energies and dilutes our True Work which is only beginning! to a yogin, it is not words that matter,
it is Action!

RE:
From May 13-May23 I will be going to the Galapagos Islands to co-guide a sea kayak adventure. The inversion altar will not be able to make it. I am not sure how much “head” (read toilet) room��their on the Catamaran mothership we will be on so I am concerned about my morning ritual for that time period.

� do you have a question in that Fear Locked, Fiction-packed paragraph for me? What are you SAYING to me, Student Stillness?
am i Here Now to Serve you…
