Wholistic Fitness

There are many factors which continue to make WF/HP warriors shine so brightly…we’ve got bombproof immunity resistance and surreal recovery due to our Cellular Fitness Nutrition (which is my next Kiva Call coming up!) and we’ve got a world-class method of steadfast training across the physiologic spectrum courtesy of our exclusive Five Fitness Disciplines and Four Lifestyle Principles… one mental training weapon that has been in the WF Quiver for decades unchanged is my PRE-EVENT MEDITATION. Here it is below for Members Only…so, sign up for that next Race and use this Meditation each day of your Taper Week…

with Blessings of (W)holy Sweat,

Some of the sadness of Conscious Fatherhood arrives from a yet-to-abide-in regret. A future regret that these mantled moments of ordinary actions – bug spotting, sandbox playing, chicken chasing, tire swinging – can’t go on forever. Dewa giggles, “hold me tighter, Daddy!” as we tire swing for the bijillionth time beneath a blossoming canopy of elders as the Animas river creates a symphony from her spring run-off. These m(OM)ents are as fragile and sacred a beauty as any Glacier Lilly i’ve found in the surreal lofty realms of the rocky heights. More so, i dare write.
One day, Dewa may walk without concern past such frivolous beings as dandelions, elder canopies, and bugs. One day, my morning bed won’t contain a little-limbed Rinpoche content to cuddle with her daddy even as she wriggles next to me like a puppy in spring.

Often, i end my HP Yoga™ classes with a sutra line from one of my Precious Tibetan Teachers, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche:

“If I die tonight, i will have no regrets…”

soon, i’ll expand on that during Part Two of my “Osama” Teaching…

if you wish to read the entire Prayer, see the bottom of this Teaching or go to the YOGA Cave in the WF SanghaLounge where it resides among the other 3,000+ Teachings of my Body of Work…

“If I die tonight, i will have no regrets…”

see, that’s the line that comes to me when i walk through my front door of my humble casa here in Durango and see my daughter’s (obviously wealthy) stash of shoes lined up as if soldiered; waiting, seemingly breathing to be worn again by Dewa’s constantly hopping, dancing, running feet.

However, how do i make it okay to lose my daughter today and then die myself tonight “without regret”…

here’s how…

to remain consistent with Wholistic Fitness™ requires unimaginable tenacity and sankalpa…many students get Lit Up for the initial year or so of the WF Path, only to waver and give into egoic-based samskaras…for the few however, we begin to feel chronic trickles of the unchanging Bliss of our unique Enlightenment Potential dancing within the challenges and joys of our lives; and THAT is a benchmark attained by only the most sincere and heart-orientated Warriors of Wholeness…witness thus the Word from a precious student in Florida below…. photo by ilg; cloud roll over Doko Oosliid juxtaposed with Grandmother Moon.

This morning, my Householder Yogi practice swung again into Full Tilt mode after my exceptional day yesterday hammering up and down my beloved San Juan peaks on my bicycle. Yesterday was like i was back in my Renunciate Yogi life; i was flying a time carpet into my Warrior Yogi youth; solo and surrounded by my Beloved San Juans, feeling strong as ever. Yesterday, ilg was Vishnu and Hanuman combined, nary a worry in the world as the volume of sweat which poured off my nose competed only with the blossoming roars of waterfalls spilling off the high country snowpack around me. Today? Not so much. Isn’t that just the Way of Things for a Father Warrior?…
