Wholistic Fitness

SNAKES IN THE TEMPLE and (FAR, FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY…) SANGHA INPUT!

“i am sending you this message to tell you that the one workout in which i maintained consistent over the past 2 months was reading Daily Lines. Each day, twice a day i faithfully read your messages and those of your students. As a fitness coach myself, i know/understand the amount of time you have given to all of us through FREE guidance, motivation and humble messages amounts to many thousands of dollars. i want to thank you for your steadfast dedication to the WF Path and her principles. Your leadership is worth more than dollars, and i am working at spreading your work throughout the Edmonton area as thanks.

Thank you again for your work,

Namaste,

Noble Brothers And Sisters From A Different Mother,

beyond the zafu (5)
there is Wholistic Fitness (7)
sweating Buddha’s Light (5)

if only you knew…
how much your Words, your Practice, your Engaged Consciousness means to me as we
keep finding and cultivating my WF notion that
“Our Highest Workout Is Everywhere.”

there has recently been a paradigmatic Higher Shift from you all flowing into the WF Temple these days.
it is a Tribal Chakra experience…it is a Shift toward a Higher Understanding of Love-based appreciation
for what WF means…
and i TAF i know why…
i need it…
Ananda and i need it…
my humble Temple and LifeWork
which i send unprotected and freely into the UniVerse
needs it.

i will tell you this much…yet do not inquire further or spend your potent mental energies about it;
for some time now,
a few vipers have nested within our humble, vulnerable Temple
they have been relentlessly attacking me and shaking the foundations of the WF Temple
through their lower than unawakened muladhara chakra actions.
they have been ripping at my LifeWork, attempting to tear It away from not only me,
but the public’s eye as well.

they do this due to lack of their own spiritual development…
perhaps,
if i was a better Messenger of the Path that cascades through me,
perhaps i could have Taught the Snakes a Higher Way than their greed.
i feel only for their karmic impurity and their Conscious Choice to attempt
damage to a yogi as feeble as i
and a Sangha as powerful as you.
foolish, foolish snakes; they lie so low in the grass
they cannot See the Higher Consequences to their ignorant, lower chakra actions.

what a great paradox;
what these Snakes seek is something they can never, ever have;
my Chi,
my Sangha’s Love and Light which burns within me
so much Brighter than their personal Darkness.
so, they think that by seeking money from me, they will somehow attain inner gain…
that is a Great Illusion of these ignorant, Attachment-addicted ones.
They are brainwashed into thinking that a celebrity as minor as i
comes complete with instincts for greed and money like they.

the greedy Snakes cannot “grock”
in this day and age,
a real yogin; one who does not see the difference between a lump of dirt and a lump of gold
(in fact, i would choose the former…at least i could mountain bike on it!)

thus,
when any one of you takes Sacred Pause to write me that a particular DL or one of my books, dvds, cds has touched you, helped you, or in some small Way was of Benefit,
is is inDeed your Spoken Word of Appreciation and Love
tha keeps me Here Now,
Sharing only what i have to Give; my time, effort, sweat, and InSights along our Shared Way
chugging along
ever onward,
ever upward,
and
endlessly
inward.

to all of you who choose to do the WF Work with respect, sincerity, and sweat
to thee
i
bow:
you honor the Light from which
Love Is All There Is…

namaste,
coach ilg

Noble Coach,
Thank you very much for the (8*2) DL submission was tremendous. I�m committed to opening my OH SO tight and specifically worked hips, progress is slow and steady, I will keep you up on my progress.

Have a wonderful day Coach!

Love
Student Sammy

Dear Coach Ilg and Coach Haku,

Today’s DL, “THE POISON BETWEEN OUR HIPS…and the GATEWAY TO BLISS!” is so
wonderfully well said.

Open hips and heart have made all the difference in my recent climbing, snow
skiing and Argentinean tango. It is amazing that such completely different
activities are all the same; hips and heart.

WF has enabled me to dissolve much of the ignorance (guilt, hurt, anger,
frustration and then the fear). In just the last three days I have known the
serene joy of flowing through the slalom gates and gliding tango ladies
across the dance floor, to a level never before experienced.

Open hips brought my upper body into the slope’s rise line.
Open hips lift my body to an upright tango leader’s “frame”.

Leading with the heart invites my tango partner to the next lovely movement.

Leading with the heart allows my body to lead my skis forward, down the hill
and around the gates.

Soon I will take my WF fitness everywhere in my life.

Gateway to bliss indeed!

Honorable and Noble Teachers,

the time spent seeking (5)
is of little importance (7)
once the path is found (5)

For years I bounced from one thing to another. Zazen and other various forms of spirituality, stretching (yoga in disguise), running, weight lifting, diet after diet. I looked at Atkins, he was no picture of health. Pritikin, same. These where money making deitmagicians barking thier shiny new midway show to the screwed up masses. I was one of them, moving from kiosk to kiosk, flashing my denaro and embracing my disappointment. Then, with no support, direction, VALUE, no shining beacon, back to the donut feast I went. Sad, belligerent, bored, angry, chaotic, tainted by the self-sotted grasping world. The years do not matter. , things changed.

Thank you. For all that you strive to accomplish in the world by being true to the blessed nature of existance. For weaving the five principles together so that those who need to find this path can recognize it when it floats by on the stream of time. So simple, so profound. I smiled on sunday…all day…for no reason. Do you know how different that is for me? How my soul has missed it? Seeking the right way I embrace the nutrition of body and mind, embrace the sweat and the breath, the beautifacence of all elements working together to shift the oppressed soul into the light of true living. I bow to your metta.

My early mornings are traded for meditation beside the pond in the backyard. It is a circle of water. I bow to you there each day; Om mani padme hung!

within the circle (5)
I bow to loving kindness (7)
peacefulness is here (5)

meditate and run (5)
stretch and strengthen the muscles (7)
this is nutrition (5)

I bow to you within the circle of water,
feeble finder

Dearest Coach,

i do realize that you are quite busy tending to e-mail from your many followers of the path, and i fear that i am taking up more of your (free) time. However, every once in a while i feel the need to send you a message.

As you know, upon reading your book TBT in February, i followed the 4 months worth of programs and experienced an amazing transformation in my life. Over the summer months, i made some attempts to continue through the cycles and found that i only wanted to get out and pedal! So i struggled with trying to hit the iron temple and i sat on my mat here and there, and my nutrition habits were on par.

i am sending you this message to tell you that the one workout in which i maintained consistent over the past 2 months was reading Daily Lines. Each day, twice a day i faithfully read your messages and those of your students. As a fitness coach myself, i know/understand the amount of time you have given to all of us through FREE guidance, motivation and humble messages amounts to many thousands of dollars.

i want to thank you for your steadfast dedication to the WF Path and her principles. Your leadership is worth more than dollars, and i am working at spreading your work throughout the Edmonton area as thanks.

Thank you again for your work,

Namaste,
