THE DAWNING OF TEACHER Q

www.waynewilliamsstudio.com
Teacher Q, one of only four certified WF Online Teachers, specializes in the training of Beginning level WF Online Students, has recently gained a Sartori (Acknowledged State of Awakening from Teacher to Student). To give you beginning WF fans and students a clue of just how Steep the Advanced Teachings are of WF, realized that Teacher Q has studied this Path for over a decade, undergoing some very deep shit along the Way to genuine Sartori. May Teacher Q’s devotion to WF be inspiration for all of us. Below i answer an email of his from today:

Coach,

OM-Morning my dear Coach.

i awoke this precious morning before dawn to IN-gage my practice. hit ToiletYoga and began to sweat profusely? didn’t feel exhausted or particularly tired. it began in the solar plex chakra. and branched out to the rest of my body. went into Pranayam work-in and BANG!! my head seemed to explode. i almost dropped my neti pot;) it felt like when you were a kid and you drank something cold to fast and got a brain freeze…well except this was thru the whole body. lasted about a min. i didn’t pay it much “mind” just went on with my pratice. after which came morning ritual and HP Prop Abs(ouch!) with yogatoes i might add.

now i sit atop Benny(the Big Ball;) YT’s in place, sippin Calli, writing my Coach. what is sweeter?

i received your card yesterday. i must admit this yogi lost his center and was fully touched;) it made my day to have a little LOVE injection thru the mail. you sound…you FEEL so light and happy. rest assure your Teacher Q will be there soon.

thank you for always loving and believing in me.

I AM Blessed!

OM,
TQ

Most Noble Practitioner Q,
the profuse perpsiration (praseveda) that you are experiencing during ToiletYoga is the precise wording of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika that designates proper asana matched with Ujjayi Pranayama for the “Prathama-Kalpika” (he who is of the fist form). Congratulations. The intensity of the sweat is karma being purified.

That you awoke before dawn, uncommon to your dosha (hey, all things are trainable in this Path!), is also a positive sign of proper Practice and, quite a Metaphor if you See it. According to the Yoga-Bhashya (3.5.1), a “Prathama-Kalpika” means a neophyte in the first stage of yogic practice to whom the Light of Yoga is just ‘dawning.’ Get it, ‘dawning’?

proud of you…
my Beloved Q,
an ol’ “gym rat”
who has bottomed out on this Path
on me,
and who has tried many other Paths,
now
Awakens to the Higher Manifestation of what barbells and dumbbells are truly supposed to develop;
Self Realization.

i bow to your years of Practice within (and, granted, sometimes outside of) the WF Temple.
it’s all go(o)d.

Shift Happens,
if we just hang in there and don’t jump around to other Teachings, herbs, doctors, etc.

Don’t get fancy,
just get WF consistent baby!

keep it humming,
and sure enough,
the Bardo?

“ain’t so baaaad!”

to love Life
is not to fear Death,

love from beneath melting snows
and vaulting blue skies….
