GIFT OF TRUTH * STARLING’S CS EXCERPTS * SEEKERS BEWARE! *
“I sense I will use my car less over time. I love my legs.”
“During Ai Imawa {a WF Tai Chi form soon to be seen on the new WholisticFitness.com}, for the first time it seemed it was happening through me; I simply allowed it. Practice a thousand thousand times a thousand thousand and…. It was lovely, my arms were gently carried through the postures, my body curved and turned in harmony.My hands get hot in Ai Imawa.”
“No doubt it {Toilet Yoga} helped my lower back. Excellent addition. This morning routine is a must. Especially for me, because my immune system failed due to poor digestion and an unhealthy, toxic colon. Constipation was a big problem for me and probably the greatest cause for my dis-ease.”
“My greatest victories occurred in Early Morning Pranayama ritual, especially since I had been sweeping it under the carpet before. I kicked in my zero-tolerance policy and didn�t miss a day of it.Now I explored why I avoided it. Sivasana�laying still�is where the biggest shifts occurred this month.”
“In the past I always, always forgot to brush with my non-dominant hand. Now, I used it every morning and often forgot to use my dominant (left) hand at night!”
“I am becoming deeply aware of my body�like the most the subtle things, all over, all at once. So instead of looking for areas to correct, it simply �happens�: I am aware that scanning is happening, and adjustments are happening to prevent pain.”
“In meditation I have stopped hiccups, sneezing, and a few other things. It�s like I am communicating but I still don�t know the language.
“At work, I cut my energy off completely from those around me. I knew I was going to fall ill the next day. A server said to me I seemed different, out of it. I said yes, I am out of it, out of this energy.”
“As my inhales stretched from 10 to 12 to 20 to 25 seconds, I always felt I was in that last unexpected stretch toward the top of the mountain. The other consistent image during pranayama is the ocean. My lungs are stretching. And I am sipping, not gulping, air. Perhaps for the first time in my adult life.”
“For the first few weeks I could hardly remain still in Sivasana. My head would pop up to check the time, my mind would wander, I would fidget. Then I realized I must be avoiding something and therefore must go in.”
“Now my dad wants to do neti.”
“Neti is a must! The debris must go. More importantly, I need to start my days with purification. This is a prayer I sent out a year before I met you. �Purify me.� Those words slipped out during a day of silence.”

All right, recently, i am getting too many Seekers bothering me.
Not enough Warriors knocking on my humble Temple door.
An after effect whenever I get exposure in those mainstream ‘fitness magazines’…
or maybe it’s because the paperback version of TBT was just released.
let me clarify something to those of you who come to WF asking me for information on WF Teacher Training without first even caring to become a Student! JesusChrist! This a Training Ground for Warriors! We sweat here, we sit here, we brush our teeth and wipe our butts with our non-dominant hand here! In fact, before you think you are ready for WF Online Training (let alone Teaching it…there are only three four WF Teachers on the planet) here are:
3 Mandatory Questions To Answer Before Knocking On My Humble Temple Door And Disturbing Those Doing Their Inner Workouts:
1) Are you self motivated?
2) Is your cup empty?
3) Are you willing to embrace a Proven and Direct Path that forces you Higher?
if not, study some other spiritual Path that sidesteps developing all physiologic systems of body (there are tons of them).
if not, study some other fitness Path that sidesteps developing spiritual fiber (there are tons of them).
if you ARE ready to Rise Above,
