Good Morning EC,

Your HP Yoga classes at NAYC the past month have been thoughtful and gutsy!

I appreciate that you are willing to take us students into the other side of asana and explore the depths of the yoga teachings. Uncomfortable at times – and an urge to run like *&^% at times.

I laughed last night after that wild and crazy PROP WORKOUT class when you said something about maybe we would like a little more warm and fuzzy class...the work at the end brought out my “ I can’t do this/ I give up” a familiar mind refrain for me...very useful albeit I don’t quite know how to work with that as it is one of my default settings. Hum.

Anyhow, thank you for the food for thought these past weeks. I hope that all is reasonably well with you and the clan. I send my metta to you and bow in gratitude for your presence and the teachings that are so generously offered.

When you have an opening in your schedule I would like to come for a end-of-the year session. If you are not currently doing that perhaps we could have an on-line catch up. Or whatever you might suggest.

Love ya
- student LH

Wise Nutrition Coaching All-Ways Must Respect Amplitude

Oh, Steve...help ~

I forgot to ask about vitamins in my last email. I've been told I need to add vitamins as I am run down with school and teaching..no surprise:) I know you are the perfect person to make the recommendation of what I should order from Sunrider.

Here is my info:

*teach 4 advanced yoga classes and 1 basic each week.
*Run 30 minutes around 3 times a week
*walk a minimum of 2 miles a day...dog and general chicago life
*meditate non-seeded 30 minutes a day and seeded 15 minutes per day
*Sweat lodges about once a month and channupa ceremony probably 2 - 3 x a month
Diet - primarily vegetarian - rice, and vegetables. I don't eat much wheat or dairy. Sweets are a problem and i am reducing them. I drink black tea but coffee only about 1 time a week...if that. I'll have the occasional glass of wine

I think that is it. Any suggestions you may have would be great! I love the sunrider purity.

with gratitude,

r


COACH RESPONDS:

CRANKING THE HERBS Means You "Flew-Through-Flu Season"!!!

Everything is going to be okay... in the end. First, there may be a little drama, trauma and upheaval. There will also be some financial struggle, some emotional stress and creative tension. But then, when is it really any different? What you are going through now is really no more (or less) than just the usual trouble, dressed up in an unusual guise. You can save yourself a lot of bother and bring forward the eventual day when your problem is solved... by deciding that it isn't such a problem after all.

- Sogyal Rinpoche



Do the Math:

Without cleansing and supporting your 5 Organ Systems - including your two immune systems - through the The "Secret Herbs of Wholistic Fitness" each day, each week, each year...


then,
you just ain't gonna have the body, mind, and spirit to be attracted to Regenerative,
Wholesome pursuits such as Meditation, Yoga, Strength Training, Cardio Training, and Eating Healthily:


Regenerative Nutrition supports Regenerative Living...

truly, i say to you - and my resume supports this statement -
a proven Path for our "Body Vehicle" to accomplish feats of Self Healing and multi-World Class Fitness Levels in diverse physiologic extremes or even have the multi-spectrum energy required to be a fit, conscious parent or person is reliance upon the THREE PIVOTAL LIMBS of WF NUTRITION:

1) My Three-Phase Approach To Using The SUNRIDER HERBS,
2) The MAP Amino Acids
and
3) Abiding by the WF Nutritional Principles as detailed in the Nutrition chapters of my books
such as TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION.

Now,
i TAF for today's DIRECT LINES, i would take you all through my personal SUNRIDER orders for October for my family. i am choosing this month because:

1) rarely in one month have i been under so many chronic stresses yet feel absolutely bombproof to the stress and in fact have turned in some of my best athletic, teaching, coaching, and spiritual personal records,

2) my SUNRIDER DOWNLINE is absolutely soaring toward the 5,000 SV Group Volume for ordering during a time when other SUNRIDER DOWNLINES not doing well; this single fact is because in the ILG DOWNLINE, we order the Herbs because we know what they provide for us and our family BESIDES extra income; the uncalcuable effect of Regenerative, Whole Food Nutrition upon our Cellular Fitness...i want our Group to break 5,000 SV this month!!! Let's show how much Fierce Love we have for our beautiful, amazing bodies which serve our Spirit! Our Body is God's Temple For Serving All, For Loving All; can't serve Go(o)d until you FEEL Go(o)d!!!

3) because it is "Flu Season" and in the past 20+ years i've been eating these SUNRIDER Foods i honestly can't recall when i've lost one day to Training due to this "Flu Season" which seemingly plagues the non-Herb-Eating masses!

First, however, a basic SUNRIDER Q&A regarding my Phase One; Fat Loss/Cell Cleansing:

***
Hi Coach!

I hope all is well with you and your beautiful family!!
We sure do miss you!!

I need some help with Sunrider. I havent been on the Calli Tea for a while and I need to lose a few pounds and thought the tea would help (can't take supplements at the moment). What do you recommend...Cali, Fortune Delight, or both? How do i take them again and will they help to shed a few?

Thank you sooo much!

xoxo
Mac
MAC!

InDeed, this time of the year should see you sipping beautiful and powerful Calli Tea (plus a few drops of SunnyDew sweetner) - in both regular and night versions to help pull toxic, heavy metals from cell membranes and keep nutrient and pranic transfer across the cell physiology absolutely perfect!

COACH RESPONDS:
Mac!
great hearing from you!

both the Calli teas and Fortune Delight would be of GREAT assistance in your dismantling and metabolism of stored and impacted bodyfat. here is what i do:

Fortune Delight + Sunny Dew during the day. one packet and a squeeze of Sunny Dew into a water bottle 1-2x daily.

at evening:
drink 1-2 cups of Calli Night + Sunny Dew before going to bed. it will help the quality of sleep while pulling heavy metals from the cells.
prepare the Calli Night just like a hot tea, however, one Calli Teabag will produce 4-5 cups of tea!

keep me updated and keep the throttle turned within,


Go(o)d Bless,

el coache

Now,
i'm gonna take you through my family's SUNRIDER order this month...bear in mind that Ananda is still breast feeding Dewachen (who LOVES Sunrider's SUNBARS!...there you go; Breast Milk and SUNBARS; the perfect diet!)...so my responsibility as a Father Warrior is to make Ananda's nutrition and life as well-supported as possible! in doing so, i Serve both my Beloved Partner and my Beloved Daughter. There is not a more important place to Love your family than to 'bring home the bacon,' in the form of SUNRIDER Herbs and MAP Amino Acids; health begins with Highly Vibrating Cells!

(MY PERSONAL SUNRIDER HERBAL ORDERS AVAILABLE ONLY FOR DL SUBSCRIBERS)

my total cash savings on October SUNRIDER herbs: $103! Besides receiving a check from SUNRIDER next month for several thousand dollars, you can probably get a feel for why, after a quarter century of eating these Herbs, i still am so enthused to write to YOU during these pre-dawn hours of just how much i want YOU to Work the Path of SUNRIDER Herbs as part of your Sadhana! it's a win/win all the Way Around Health and TRUE Wealth!

Fitness Without Wisdom Is Not For Warriors,
nor Can Wisdom Be Attained Without Fitness


Without Meditation inherit to a Fitness Method,
then where is the Wisdom gonna be?

Oh sure, without Meditation you can still be all very smart and fancy,
yet there will be no Wisdom.

Smartness does not make an Enlightened Warrior.
Wisdom does.
Meditation turns Warriors into Sages as they grow old.
A Path or a promoter of a Path of Fitness which does not meditate,
is forwarding an immature, unwholesome Path.

Could this be the reason for a world lacking in real compassion?

It has often intrigued me how some Buddhist masters I know ask one simple question of people who approach them for teaching: “Do you believe in a life after this one?” They are not being asked whether they believe in it as a philosophical proposition but whether they feel it deeply in their hearts. The master knows that if a man believes in a life after this one, his whole outlook on life will be different, and he will have a distinct sense of personal responsibility and morality. What the masters must suspect is that there is a danger that people who have no strong belief in a life after this one will create a society fixated on short-term results, without much thought for the consequences of their actions.

Could this be the major reason why we have created a world like the one we are now living in, a world with hardly any real compassion?

coming to Flag from LA four years ago with Joy, i warned her about the nature of mountain town folk. they surprise the socks off of you. i know, cuz i grew up among mountain folk.

1) they won't say anything about their own accomplishments,
2) you'll only learn about how Awakened, Centered, and Chi-Filled they are after some time living among them.
3) they will constantly inspire you to be a better, Higher, more Awake Being.

Flagstaff is chock full of these beautiful, fit, and grounded Beings...



One of the most beautiful and powerful among these Kachina spirited people of the ponderosa, is artist, school art teacher, yogini, river guide, outdoor athlete, and HP Yoga Devotee, Susan Detering...




Here then, is my interview with one of the most shining gems of our Path...Susan; thank you...and Sangha? May you, like myself, be empowered by the Shakti and Love pouring off our River Goddess...

TEMPLE GONG:ilg's OUTDOOR ATHLETE ripped off by Human Kinetics Publishers and unAwakened authors Schurmans

click to enlarge the sad, sad fact of Kali Yuga and those who abuse the shoulders upon which they 'stand'....





Hi Steven,

I don’t know anything about copyright law but it looks like you have been ripped off my friend, see attached from the October issue of Rocky Mountain Sports. I thought you might want to know.
I bid you peace.

Shunryo
CO




Most Noble Shunryo -

"All Karma is God."

it ain't the first time your humble Teacher has been ripped off, it ain't gonna be the last...however, several Students have already sent me word of this Most Jagged Pill,
so predictable of the unAwakened. these 'authors' are gonna have a ROUGH TIME in the Bardo because they have ignored and abused the Shoulders from which they write and gain money...All Karma is God.

this really hurts my heart.
THE OUTDOOR ATHLETE
was my first book written when i was 25 years young (ilg did NOT need a co-author!) is pure CHI from DIRECT EXPERIENCE and became the 'bible' our outdoor generation.

the Publishers know damn well of ilg.
i was an editor in their book, PLYOMETRICS; Explosive Power Training For Athletes, by James Radcliffe and Bob Farentinos (my boss at Farentinos Gym, late seventies-eighties)

Rocky Mountain Sports & Fitness Magazine should have realized the Higher Path as well; in the seventies and eighties i authored over 2 dozen articles/features/reviews for them and helped them attain distributorship in retail outlets when they first started.


if any of you lawyers in the WF Tribe wish to go to bat for your ol' coach...contact me. yet i have no money to fight this copyright battle.


others of you, if you wish to speak your CHI to the publishers:

(Toll Free: 800-747-4457)

or email the publisher at:

info@humankinetics.co.nz


just tell them:

All Karma is God, and:
May All Beings Be Freed From Avidya And Know The Causes Of Avdiya...

don't be mean;
Practice your Yoga.
Speak your Truth for our Tribe,
yet be Loving in your Heart.
they are just weak-minded and greedy
without genuine CHI FORCE...so take it easy on them.



meanwhile, i'll must overcome my sentiments and use these plagerizers as my teachers
thus i take refuge in the Sacred Scriptures;

"Be not attached to the fruits of thy Labor,"
Bhagavad Gita.

The Proof of WF? Once Again, lies in the Podium; 2nd Place AG at Soulstice!

Surprised and stoked, i hold my 2nd Place AG award after returning home from the Soulstice Mountain Trail Race which featured spatterings of rain, sleet, and as you can on the Sacred Peak behind me, snow! Perfect Nordic weather for 'turning on the ilg trigger' i reckon. i finished 8th Overall. photo by Ananda.

once again, the WF Gods smiled upon ilg, perhaps granting me a m(om)ent of recognition for my attempts to maintain Practice during the steep terrain of new Fatherhood. riding up to the Start on my MTB, my legs felt queasy and i could easily hear Mr. Ego thumping on the door of my Mantra, attempting to gain a toe hold into my Race Mentality. one of the benefits of working a Blessed Mantra for so long is that Ego Thumping becomes more easily assimilated by Buddhi or Higher Mind. thus, as i steered Grunt (my MTB) up, up, up the world class singletrack of Schultz Trail, i could at times see and hear the parade of cars and SUV's thunder up the gravel road toward the Start. alone and happy in the woods, with only my breath and Mantra upon Grunt, gave me ample time to feel so appreciative for my long and varied life spent among rocky heights. the only true wealth is chi. and there is something about the WF Lifestyle that simply and effectively amps and re-amps the Chi. there is a Transmission inherent to our Jeweled, humble Path which impacts our souls far beyond words...especially from such a feeble messenger as i.

arriving at the Start, the gathered mountain runners were huddled together like sheep from a roaring wind and near freezing cold. into the forest, behind a stump i took my own shelter, changing from my sweaty thermal cycling clothes into dry running clothes...

Race Morning; SOULSTICE MOUNTAIN RACE comes draped in Nordic Conditions...

in 2006, i finished 3rd overall in this race. this morning? just getting to the Start Line is going to be my podium! WARRIOR UP!!!!

Race Morning...

last night, tucked on the downstairs couch, i felt close to my years as a mountaineer. curled within a fleece blanket, the wind outside was a monster roar, inflicting far too many cell memories from epic bivouacs in the high peaks. old mountaineers like me do not develop more immunity from the cold, we are often more susceptible to it due to accumulated hyperthermia, frostnipped digits, or frost bit flesh. our bodies go into Red Alert Mode within the first moments of cold.

my half-sleep was an all night superset between listening for Dewa's cries (we are 'Ferberizing' her this week, poor, precious Rinpoche!) and being cell-shocked awake from the wind outside.

this race, Soulstice, is my final running race on what has been a grand running season for New Daddy Ilg*. though i hold no podium pretensions for today, i am determined to toe the Start Line and suffer in order to See Higher Sides of myself.

stumbling over pre-laid out bike (i'm also determined to ride to the Start Line) and running clothes in front of the fireplace, i pour a cup of joe to assist in critical pre-race pooping.

over to the downstairs iMac, holding the coffee like a chalice of elixir, the night is softly cold; 38 degrees here at the Temple H(om)e. there is a blast of stars fading to a morning twilight from Grandfather Sun announcing his arrival.

knowing i'll need to do an Early Morning Ritual after i poop, then it'll be down to business as i mountain bike several miles and up several hundred vertical feet through cold, windy forests to find the Start Line tucked in the pines near Schultz Lake at 7,900'. i must time my arrival perfectly or i'll lose the pre-warm up benefits and shiver with dropping body temperature before the Start like a rat in a panic. choosing to cardio commute to the Start Line on a MTB trail is dangerous; one flat or weird moment could mean missing the Start.

the computer casts its eerily light into the warm, wooded ski lodge which is my new home. i click the weather forecast on the highest point on today's race; 8,900'...the top out of Sunset Trail.

it reads:

A chance of rain showers before 11am, then a chance of snow showers. Partly cloudy, with a temperature rising to near 50 by 9am, then falling to around 46 during the remainder of the day. Windy, with a southwest wind between 32 and 39 mph, with gusts as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

"a chance of snow...With gusts as high as 65 mph..." my eyes fall over the words again and then once more, as if steeling my mental fiber for what is going to be another epic Race Day...

then the thought comes fast;
it's a good day to be a Warrior...

Yesterday's WF CHALLENGE TEST WINNER: SUET from London!!!

Dear Coach,

I don’t often take up your challenge tests. I’m a scaredy-cat. Anyway, I’d like to try this time only because I’d like to win the PRANIC JUNKIE

From my studies, Buddha is often pictured with a deer. This is symbolic according to the legend that Buddha first gave sermons at the Deer Park in Sarnath after newly attaining Enlightenment. According to Ted Andrews, the deer also represents innocence and a return to the wilderness.

Shiva? You Seem To Be A Fly In My Practice...

this morning i awoke and like any go(o)d WF Yogi (aka; Navanyogi - one who seeks Union through the 9-limbed Path of WF) i padded softly (so as not to awaken my Clan) to the bathroom.

upon entering the cold (it was 26 degrees here last night) bathroom, i heard a Fly Being begin to buzz around me.

"odd," thought i, "that is one tough Fly for surviving this cold night, even in here." still drowsy from my slumber, i named Mr. Fly, "Druasada," which is Sanscrit for "One who is hard to attain," and is one of Lord Shiva's many, many names.

"Om Mani Padme Hung!" i chanted 3x to Druasada. it is, as i've Taught you previously, vital for Yogis to audibly chant the Sacred Mantra to any and all Sentient Beings whenever possible...especially if they are in a state of suffering or are close to their Bardo Entry as was surely Druasada.

i figured that was enough good karma for my sleepy mind to produce and turned my attention to my muscles singed with lactic acid from last nights' totally awesome PROP WORKOUT with my Flag Sangha...ooooh, did we hammer it! as you know, the Slim Caps and Fibertone from the SUNRIDER Herbs which we Navanyogis use, make getting to a toilet our first and foremost ritual of each jeweled day along this precious Path!

so thus i squatted in the chilled dark of predawn, concentrating on enjoying my pooping when suddenly...

Ya See...
THIS type of entry from Coach is why we are so charmed by this Path...
please, please, please do not miss this touching, practical DharmaTeaching which
includes a WF Technique for saving Fly Beings...and the Native American teaching on Fly Medicine!
ya see,
Yoga and Skillful Warriorism is found everywhere
when we have access to a strong, enduring Teacher of the Dharma like WF...
