Wholistic Fitness

“and to my local HP Yoga Sangha; sorry for being MIA last night…trust me, ilg woulda rather been training my abs with you in PROP WORKOUT than training them before the awlmighty and unforgiving Porcelain Throne…”

If anyone lacks tinder,
let him set his rubbish ablaze with my fire.”

that was friggin’ gnarly.
well, the “guru” ate some unblessed flesh food (natural, free range chicken from a health food store) and both Ananda and i spent yesterday writhing in digestive agony.

when you have been on the SUNRIDER Herbs, and MAP Amino Acids, and when you have followed the potency of Wholistic Fitness Nutritional Principles (as outlined in TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION) for as long as i have, you get spoiled.

you get used to feeling superhuman, and as a result of decades of living each day at a world-class level of fun and fitness when Shiva does visit you with a biologic smackdown like He did to Joy and i yesterday?

you realize that you are undertrained in dealing with the agony of being sick.

so, if in your meditations yesterday, you could hear me moaning the Mantra, please excuse the ugliness…ilg was hurtin…couldn’t even teach Prop last night. thank you, Steph, for substituting for me last night. and to my local HP Yoga Sangha; sorry for being MIA…trust me, ilg woulda rather been training my abs with you in PROP WORKOUT than training them before the awlmighty and unforgiving Porcelain Throne.

The Yoga of Food Poisoning points some very demanding fingers at a few pivotal Teachings;

1) as our Bodies, through our sadhana, begin Vibrating Higher and out of reach from the common afflictions of the common man, do NOT take for granted that the yogi can Vibrate Higher without chronic conscious indulgence in Awareness and Application of the Teachings.

2) though i Sensed that the flesh food i was eating (which we don’t eat very often) was not feeling quite ‘right,’ i somewhat flippantly did a few inward practices to ratchet up my consumption of the food, taking for granted that my body would do as it’s been doing for decades, simply increasing the Agni (digestive fire in the subtle anatomy) and thus allow me to eat just about anything and have it become prasad (a gracious gift) and certainly without getting ill. well, this time, what went awry was that i did not personally Bless this flesh food which i normally do, and, Ananda and i were having a New Parenting ‘moment’ after another day of stressful circumstances during which Ananda was preparing the flesh food. Such a spiritually sophomoric mistake deserved the rich punishment which we received.

3) our bodies are absolutely beautiful vehicles…i mean, the cranking high intensities into which our bodies kick into in order to jettison the alien bacteria from the gastrointestinal system is stunning. another reason why WF inhabits the rarely traveled terrain of high intensity…when things REALLY start shifting – be it through food poisoning or our Bardo Entry – it’s gonna be HIGH INTENSITY and not just for a moment or two. authentic shifting requires ENDURANCE WITHIN HIGH INTENSITY.*

yesterday, ilg could not control his breath rate while changing diapers on Dewa.
yesterday, ilg nearly passed out in the attempt to feed Dewa.
this morning?
i mountain bike to fetch the morning paper, breath easy as velvet. agony replaced by a thunderous cloudcap wrapped about the Sacred Peak, Herself humming as if only to ilg…ahhhhh HEALTH!!! what, my Friend Along The Higher Path, is more precious?!

eat your herbs,
take your aminos,
do your Practices with diligence and gratitude
and
all is yours…

head bowed,

your feeble mountain yogi

*the reason why established Masters can accurately predict their next incarnation, is because They have lost the Fear of Death due to somehow, incredibly, maintaining some degree of elemental consciousness throughout the dying process of which HIGH INTENSITY CONFUSION and SELF COMBUSTION is the, well, base line.
