A heart to you on this ThanksGiving Day...without your support of my humble, powerful Temple? Transpersonal Fitness would be as extinct as is the Dinosaur Being that left his HeartShaped footprint upon HopiLand...
This is an easy one. Some of our Western economically driven "Holy-Days-turned-Holidays" can really dredge some deep confusion about what these HolyDays have turned into for the Awakened Fitness Warrior.
Fortunately, today, ThanksGiving Day, holds very little philosophical snafu for the yogically inclined. For, in our humble, powerful Tribe, we are trained to sit in meditation; stabilizing our Mind Waves which inevitably shakes off layers of egoic pretense and strips us, nakedly, toward the shining quality of Gratitude.
Even if you are not a formal WF Student, perhaps today is a wise day to revisit my notion of a Gratitude Journal as described in my most recent book, TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION. At least, today, before absorbing the 10,000 efforts and lives associated with our HolyDay Meal, pray at the table. Be the Leader of a Gratitude Meditation for your meal...one of the Traditional WF Mealtime Blessings, which i learned in Japanese during my formative Zen years and is now passed onto my Online WF Students goes like this:
"The first morsel is to destroy all evil.
The second morsel is to practice good deeds.
The third morsel is to save all sentient beings...
May we attain Dewachen."
May you practice well other important WF Teachings such as; Earned Sustenance, Rasas Eating Assignment, Eating Elegantly Assignment, et.al.. The artful self science in WF offers an immense banquet for Self Cultivation in the hours before your gathering. Be it a solo, small, or enormous family gathering does not matter. Here is what matters; How well can you Love today? How deeply can you cultivate Gratitude today? How willing are you to let go of silly things that do not lead you Higher?
In the Spirit of All Yoga Teachers who dedicate their lives to reflect the integrity of the Ancient Enlightened Masters,
this feeble messenger sends only my deepest Gratitude for you...
oh,
and Ananda finally made it to her beautiful Blog yesterday in order to send you some Love...
The Joyful Breath
May All Beings Be Happy And Know The Causations Of Happiness,
OM SO TI,
