Wholistic Fitness

don’t know for sure, however,
for some you devoted WF Warriors?
you might need to listen to the Navajo War Song
while reading my Four DharmaSword Strikes below…

In My Weak Moments…

WF was the first Fitness Path in America to have integrated both Yoga and Meditation
into the conventional western disciplines of Strength and Cardio.
The meditation was necessity to my Path of WF for i come from a mountaineering tradition where lack of meditation skills could have meant me messing up big time and dying in the high peaks.

in my weak moments,
i feel as if WF – native to America – has been used and then shunned by America’s Fitness energy
instead of honoring Her pioneering, giving spirit.

however, those are only weak moments stemming from my manas*…
when my buddhi** returns,
i realize the eon***,
i reMind myself; “I am the owner of my Karma,”
and then, in Deeply Healing Way…
a smile spreads so sacredly within my Heart.

The 3-Hour Per Day Disciple

hey, if we can’t do what it takes to enjoy 3 hours per day to cultivating our Wholeness?
then we have become addicts to the Outer World.
i mean we oughta enjoy 24/7 Self Cultivation for a truly Enlightened Society…
3 hours…c’mon that ain’t nuthin…do NOT surrender into Outer World Addiction
and sacrifice your Whole Soul!!

oh sure, my Path offers what i consider the tantamount Priority Practices and Lifestyle Principles for people who have ‘only a few minutes per day to train.’
however, really, honestly, if you are still trying to pigeon-hole your Sadhana into
‘an errand to be run’ mentality…it ain’t gonna sweep the Deities off Their feet and into your Sacred InSight. feel free to keep ‘puttering about’…however, ask Thyself, ‘what am i DOING with my Spiritual Practice?!?!”

WF; a quarter century of Personal Wholesomeness shining like a precious gem right smack in the middle of an era of spiritual retardation and specialization.

Fitness Without Wisdom Is Not For Warriors,
nor Can Wisdom Be Attained Without Fitness

Without Meditation inherit to a Fitness Method,
then where is the Wisdom gonna be?

Oh sure, without Meditation you can still be all very smart and fancy,
yet there will be no Wisdom.

Smartness does not make an Enlightened Warrior.
Wisdom does.
Meditation turns Warriors into Sages as they grow old.
A Path or a promoter of a Path of Fitness which does not meditate,
is forwarding an immature, unwholesome Path.
BeWare in Kali Yuga!
The Dragons are seductive, alluring, and sophomorically appeal to your lower chakral energies.

Without Dharma, it’s only Drama.

Without Dharma, it’s only Drama.
oh i see clearly how clever, smart, and fancy
are the trends of today’s Fitness Scene.
so much of it is still kindygarten…

occasionally i read the Fitness Blogs, surf all the fancy Fitness websites,
scan the yogic culture…all so savvy…

i reckon that is why us WF Tribe stick together;
we’re Here and Devoted to the Ancient One’s Dharma which
flies so uniquely, so powerfully through WF…

…cuz it SURE as hell ain’t because of our savvy!
it’s cuz of our quarter century sweat, stillness, and service Ever Higher!

we are Here Now
in this Tribe,
cuz of da’ CHI FORCE, baby!!!
