The Practice of Wholistic Fitness™ unveils and reveals our Warrior Lineage…anytime we meet another WF Warrior or Warrioress? We get this distinct sense of deep Family often beyond our own biologic family….even a cursory surf through our incredible and massive SanghaLounge reveals this point to be so preciously true…it makes ilg’s HeartSpace open like a late season snow….
This afternoon, before teaching an off-the chart HP Prop Workout in the Warrior Cave, i cranked off 5 x 700 vertical feet of essential MantraWork on Chapman Hill, our in-town ski hill. Up and down ilg went…hours before the rope tow would be turned on. Why hike up a ski hill, kicking steps into the freshly fallen snow when i could just wait for the lift to open and make it easier? Why? Because hiking up the ski hill forces ilg to apply the Mantra-driven ski boot impact into the precious snows which dissolves and removes the unkindness or the harm within me. What other lift-assisted skiers may see as some idiot’s boot pack trail appears to feeble ilg as a living Mantra Made Manifest…a snowy alternative to a Tibetan Sand Painting…effort-full kick steps driven by a high heart-rate punctuating the monumented line of a pilgrim, hiking up, skiing down through virgin snows before the crowds and their bally-hoo’s…

Only when we remove the harm in ourselves do we become truly useful to others and toward the cause of our Enlightenment. Through the Practice of Wholistic Fitness…the 5 Fitness Disciplines, the 4 Lifestyle Principles..doth we purify our kamically ingrained unkindness from ourselves, allowing our true Go(o)d Heart, the fundamental Go(o)dness and kindness which are our True Nature, to shine and become the welc(om)e climate in which our Highest Being blossoms…

move in…
ilg has all-ways loved spirals and circles…such appears my signature ski lines before the lift-assisted crowds blemish the snows without ‘earning their turns’…
This is why feeble ilg calls Wholistic Fitness™ the true practice of peace, the true practice of nonaggression and nonviolence, and the real and greatest disarmament toward that which hinders us from Enlightenment in the Bardo; our egoic attachment. Tis better to cultivate an Endless Beginner’s status and keep working our weaknesses instead of becoming famous and applauded in our specific and Divinely-granted strengths…Contemplate these words until we meet again, Noble Warriors toward Wholeness….be free and roar toward Enlightenment…
“we get this distinct sense of deep family often beyond our own biologic family”
which was purely felt & experienced the weekend of the snoshoe race.
once again….. it’s good to be part of the family…. the sangha!!
Precious Warrior Leaf,
How Blessed Are We Who Sense Such Immutable Connections?
a time to live,
a time to Love,
a time to die,
a time to scream,
a time to dream…
endlessly beyond the incarnation,
your feeble teacher of absolutely no-thing
