Wholistic Fitness

I was lucky enough to get this action shot of Jesus, Gandhi, Vishnu, Kali, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama all rolled into one Bug. What if this Bug IS, inDeed, your “God” or “Guru” in drag…testing your Sadhana (Spiritual Effort)?

Bugs symbolize “Fear Dragons”…they come in Endless Forms…

Coach’s WF Tenet; Perpetuation of Rationalization-
When Your Spiritual Path Is About Ready To Run Over A Bug

**

Dear Coach,
Thank you for your WF Path…your combination of Eastern Teachings plus incredible (well, unbelievable) levels of Western Fitness is amazing.

Due to your Work the other day i had an Awakening because of a bug. As I was walking through my house, I came across a spider. My pulse skipping a beat, I nearly squashed it as i have for years. then i breathed (because of your Teachings) and in doing so I came upon a moment that seemed to ‘expand’ as you say. An amazing amount of odd, old, and just weird self talk happened in that ‘expanded moment’….

I thought to myself, “What would Coach do in this Moment? Wait a minute, a Yoga Teacher the caliber Coach calls me a ‘Noble Yogic Warrior’ and here i am about to unconsciously kill this spider out of impulse!”

Then I thought more rationally; “But, what if it bit my children?” This self dialogue went on for a while. I finally could not stand the thought of that spider biting my child, so, i hate even writing it…i killed it.

Coach, i want to practice non-violence since you taught me that non-violence is the first Yogic Guideline…but, well, what should i do about dangerous insects and all the mosquitos, and creepy crawlies? What do you do in such circumstances?

your feeble and now karmically )*&^%!-up Student,
– KB

Stay tuned right here for my answer to this Student’s evident Awakening through the Bug Guru, along with my explanation and philosophy of my WF Tenet; “Perpetuation of Rationalization”
EXCLUSIVELY for DL Warriors, baby!
in the meanwhile, i want each of you to bring more Heightened Awareness to the Way You Choose To Workout when in the Presence of “Bug Gurus”…where is your Practice when time comes to kill a mosquito that is “Bugging you”?
who taught you what you Know about Bugs and your reaction toward them?
do you remember your incarnation(s) as a Bug Being? Can you find your Bug Being shakti within your Cells? within your Sweat? Hey, Spiderman evidently did! And look at how much Go(o)d he has done in his present incarnation (which i must admit is a prrrrretty dang cool one!)!
Think and Breathe with these thoughts…
more tomorrow and may the Bug Guru inForm your Practice ever Higher!
