Wholistic Fitness

“You will have to worship fearlessness. The self is free from fear. The soul cannot be injured; none can kill it; fear exists in the sinful. Fear exists in those who are attached.”

– Laxmi Bhavanm, 23.1.62

Spiritual Statistics:

People who watched the Lakers lose Game 2; millions

People who attended Zen/DharmaTalk on Pratyhara (overcoming the power of influences): 1

Spiritual Fitness Consideration:

Those who do not take the time to become ambidextrous, action by action, should consider the root

of their body/mind imbalances and dis-eases. Balance begins with Awareness. Use your non-dominant

limbs today as often as possible. This is WF Warriorism. Note how easy it is to rationalize this spiritual

assignment as ‘silly,’ or ‘i don’t have time to do this, it slows me down too much.’ Sense the irony.

Two Signs of the Times in Paradox:

Case #1:

Riding my bicycle home after Zen Class i encounter two adolescents in the pedestrian tunnel. i have to bring my bicycle to

a trackstand before 1) they even realize i am there and 2) they actually move to let me pass. as i pass, the one kid says,

“Dude, you got any money i can have?”

I slow again to stall next to him still balanced on my bike. the kid has a $50 haircut/color, the newest Nikes, the latest

jeans, and an iPod dangling from his clothes.

“You willing to work for it?”

Without a flicker of hesitation comes his sharp reply,

‘No.’

Case #2:

At Saturday’s crazy hard HP Prop Workout (you HAVE GOT to attend one of these!) i had both Jen (14 year old daughter of Student Linda P) and Wess (15 year old son of Student Kelly). These two young warriors love the high intensity and Jen especially loves doing what she calls my, “Mondo Ab” sequences, some of which last 20 minutes nonstop. last week, my

Studio had another MD sign up for privates and then brought along his 15 year old son. earlier in the week, another teenager

joined.

Moral:

Kids are but reflections of who is Teaching them. If the parents come to yoga, they will. Sooner or later. If the parents embrace a fun, fitness lifestyle, they will. Kids want to be cool and feel strong in their sense of self. no better Way to do this then for parents to Practice and let the kids Shift for themselves.

The other side of the coin? Well, if you do NOT Practice and are asleep in the mainstream bs of the outer world, then you will be susceptible to believing crap like this {sent into DL by a Ragin RJ}:

“Ilgbro,

Check this shit out!� Fucking guidelines for high blood pressure in children…?my God!� Stop the fucking madness!� I have never seen so many stupid people that don?t pass the common sense test in all my life?sooner and hopefully not later people like us will be realized as cheaper and less painful solutions.� Until then, let?s chop up the stomachs of little kids with bypass and medicate fat asses into typical toxic Americans!� Grrr?

Ragin? rj!
