Namaste Noble Warriors!

an exchange with Fitness Warrior Tobe from today’s email:

Dear Coach-

I apologize for not starting {my first email which you made me do over!} with a polite salutation, I meant no

disrespect. I agree, we tend to move too fast in our society and are often

short with those closest to us. Thanks for keeping me in check.

� it’s my job…

😉

i honor you not taking defensiveness…that speaks volumes.

RE: Here is a vitamin/mineral question for you. I take daily the Ilg Supreme

with 8-12 ozs of soy milk, 1 tblspn of Flax oil and every 2 dys or so a

tblspn of psyllium husks (I crave the Ilg Supreme every day).

� right off the bat, i’d suggest weaning off the husks and oil. they do not strengthen the colonic chi and can actually decrease optimal, inner functioning of the colonic lining and activity. you can replace with SR SUNBARS as an option.

RE: I also drink

Calli morning and night and FD once daily and take 60 mg CoQ10 per day. I

have been doing this for one month now. I noticed that with the

combination of VitaShake and VitaFruit most of the vitamin volumes do not

add up to the RDA.

� do not worry about that.

it’s the residual WAY that the accumulated EFFECT from the herbs WITHIN you which add up to far more physiologic effectiveness than mathematical RDA numbers. the body/mind knows CHI, not numbers.

RE: Why do you recommend the Ilg Supreme with less than the

RDA and no other supplements (except maybe Ca and C)?

� see above.

you are trying to fit a Western concept into an Eastern Way of Chi Saturation and Development and Regeneration.

RE: I feel great, but have made many other positive changes in my life over

the past year:

Lost 15 lbs in the last year

Quit pot cold turkey a year ago

Vegan-based diet

Zero caffeine (except the trace in Calli)

Small amounts of high GI sugar

Low Na

Low sat. fat

2-4 HP/power Yoga per week

Lots of cardio, incl., intervals (mtn biking, hiking, in-line skating

and skate skiing)

Zazen once per week

Focus on breath and posture

Therefore, it is hard to say what has had the most impact.

� and truly, does it matter?

become a specialist in wholeness

and nothing specific matters

because you feel so dang…GOOD all the time!

RE: The biggest changes I have seen in the last year are the loss of 15 lbs (5

of them in the past 1-2 months) and a total cholesterol drop from 190 to

140. As of 6 months ago it had dropped from 265 to 190 due to Zocor. The

190 to 140 drop I believe is 95% due to my lifestyle and dietary changes.

The doc took me off Zocor as of yesterday. I also take Advair for

exercise-induced asthma and have not had any symptoms in a long time now.

My lung function has gone from 50% to 75% of “normal” – hoping for 100%

next visit.

� first, congratulations on all your victories!

getting off Zocor and losing that fat and increase your pulmonary fitness is absolutely FANTASTIC FITNESS WARRIORISM!

feeble ilg bows to you!

secondly,

i want you to replace your “hoping” which is passive

with visualization which is active.

and keep Practicing with consistency!

do this, and

one day,

mark my words,

you will look back on these years of being on such strange chemicals as Zocor and Advair and wonder, “Man, i can’t believe i was sucked into all that shit.”

your body KNOWS PRECISELY how to bring itself into a joyful state of Balance…but the key is your willingness to

embrace,

listen, and

Practice.

RE: I have chronic low back pain (for many years, although worse in the last

year) plus I seem to have injured my lower right back/upper hip with sharp

pain at times daily (mostly in the evening) – in the SI joint (no pain in

the leg). Doc says I could have arthritis – we’ll see.

� the Doc knows nothing.

you KNOW damn well that yoga, herbs, and consistency in Practice

will erase that back pain.

take it from me, baby…

i know all about that TRIP!

RE: Would you recommend anything else in the HR (or supplement) realm at this

point?

� when you feel ready,

you should begin formal online WF training.

the years ahead shine with opportunity for much more than mere pain erasure…they sparkle with great potential for Awakening and – who knows – maybe Enlightenment?!

why not go for it?

why waste an incarnation not going for the top of the podium?

i applaud your inner endeavor to Rise Higher…
