Well, if you don’t trust in my racing resume, then how the archives of WF Student Testimonials in the SanghaLounge…another one came through today from Patrica in PA…see below and then, GET ON and STAY ON the MAP Aminos!
special thanks to HP Yogi Wyatt Brown in Kinlani…this was such a hilarious Om So Ti since i received this on the same night of my Kiva Call to WF.com Members on Strength Training where i taught about how we in Wholistic Fitness™ use Mantra syllables instead of ‘counting reps’ in the ‘Iron Temple’!
Call begins at 6 pm MST tonight!
a smidgen of what will be covered in the FIRST of my Five Noble Fitness Disciplines; STRENGTH TRAINING!
PERIODIZATION: ST should not be year around; think Waves…
OWN THE MOVEMENT: Sport Specificity/Off-Season; let your sport take care of the specifics!
FAILURE OF ELEGANCE: only within failure is great victory!
LESS IS MORE: don’t increase wear and tear; pre-fatigue with WF Techniques!
MANTRA, NOT NUMBERS! counting reps is soooo conventionally stupid! does little for spiritual growth; Focused Prayer while under duress claim attention the Deities, angels, gods!
WHOLISTIC FITNESS™ Copyrighted Techniques: Learn the Stimulative and Recovery Dance of Yin/Yang Mastery!
NO ONE DOES THE IRON TEMPLE DANCE LIKE A WHOLISTIC FITNESS™ TRAINED YOGI!
i’ll speak for about 40 minutes, then open up the lines to YOUR questions!
here is the Kiva Call number to call:
Evergreen is all about Chlorophyll. And Chlorophyll (CHO) is all about ‘eating Light’ or as yogis would say, ‘absorbing the Pran or Life Force”. In my 28 years of being a SUNRIDER Leader (and an ‘Evergreen™” devotee), i’ve found that young children are deeply attracted to Evergreen™, as well as those in chronic low-energy. Why? Because young chi-dren (like my 3-year old daughter) live so close to the Chi that they instantly recognize that they are eating ‘more chi’! Those in chronic pain cherish the ‘feel’ of Evergreen entering their body because they can really feel more Life Force entering her cells. Yogi’s fall in love with Evergreen instantly, because they, like small chi-ldren, live energetically cleaner lives; they can Sense pure, concentrated Prana (or Chi) in a millisecond. Taking Evergreen is sort of like doing a half-hour of devoted Yoga Breathing (Pranayama). It develops and amplifies the Pran within the body.
look closely at my skis and you’ll see a snot-soaked, Blessed Mala-swinging, levitating mOMent from last years’ Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon which i attempt to defend in the Mixed Pairs category next month. Below, i counsel our Tribe’s most recent receiver of WF Blessed Training Mala and tell all current WF Blessed Mala yogi’s when my next Mala re-Empowerment Ritual will take place…
