WF teaches; First things first. What would happen if our moon or sun grew tired of repetition? Do you ever see Them trying to take short-cuts? So, why are we in such disappointment when a Teacher attempts to safely, slowly, and non-dramatically impart an anciently proven Path of Transformation…why has it becOMe so in vogue to taking shortcuts instead of developing a wholistic lifestyle of long-term spiritual fitness?
Coach,
I find you seem to be an interesting mix of when using technology is is ok/encouraged, your web page, but also undesirable, smart phones. So,according to you, when is it ok and when is it not?
humbly,
nset
COACH RESPONDS:
Paleo now, Atkins then, Bailey before that…feeble ilg says, instead of reading nutrition books that sensationalize insipid parcels of nutritional wisdom for the profit of the current author in vogue, why not ask yourself a few ancient questions, like;
yes, this is Dewa. eyes transfixed by the TV. while eating dinner. with a remote within hands’ reach.
go ahead pass judgment if you feel the need.
then, let ilg explain the context within the Wholistic Conscious Parenting Paradigm…
you’ll be surprised at the spiritual essence taking place in this shot and i dare you to rise to her
4-year old discipline…
So, up those seemingly endless, sky-high, snow-surrounded mountain passes, i cultivated the Witness Within. i practiced watching my effort -detached – without form watching the formfull. Basically? ilg just ‘watched ilg pedal up the mountain.’ This ‘witnessing’ technique is an ancient spiritual warrior tool for transforming suffering into mere effort. Suffering has emotional baggage, however pure Effort is Suffering without the emotional baggage.
… and now my love of focused fun
among snow covered woods,
pine-lathered mountains, and
high, rocky peaks where only Pika play and occasional Hawks reach their wings into majesty…
reMind me of my True Human Beingness
shouting unheard into my HeartCave;
“Don’t Wait Any Longer…”
so, within the garden of Self,
ilg dives into an inner ocean
each morning…no matter how busy…
Dewachen recently, all snuggled up with her kitten, Trevor, looking on. No parent enjoys having a sick chi-ld. However, using my simple technique below will categorically change the situation toward a Higher and more Helpful space…
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
