What makes the Path of WF so unique is her utter devotion toward
everything that we suck at. Other athletes and many yogis focus for decades on
doing those things - including behaviors and tendencies - that they are 'good' at...
meanwhile...only the WF Yogi, the WF Athlete
cherishes that most captivating goal of all; Wholeness.
targeting weakness wherever we find it;
in our Word Choices, in our reluctant displays in overcoming dominant tendencies and patterns, and particularly and most easily in our fitness endeavors.
only the WF Warrior upholds the Ancient Yogic crowning definition of yoga:
"Sarvanga Sadhana"
or
"Wholistic Practice"
i 'channeled' the artful science of Wholistic Fitness® beginning
when i was a chi-ld, listening to and playing with my first Root Teacher, Apache,
a black wolf among the mountains and cool streams of the San Juan's where i still live
today. What kept c(om)ing through me during those early years was;
'push nothing away, embrace It All."
what keeps our Path of WF so small and humble is her fierce thicket of
chronic self-confrontation...
forcing her Practitioners to remain an Endless Beginner...
i feel Sogyal Rinpoche puts this aspect of WF very well in this quote:
"Sometimes when we see too much truth about ourselves suddenly mirrored in front of us by the teacher or the teachings, it is simply too difficult to face, too terrifying to recognize, too painful to accept as the reality about ourselves. We deny and reject it, in an absurd and desperate attempt to defend ourselves from ourselves,from the truth of who we really are. And when there are things too powerful or too difficult to accept about ourselves, we project them onto the world around us, usually onto those who help us and love us the most—our teacher, the teachings, our parent, or our closest friend."
Blessed be thy sweat today,
Divine be thy stillness today..
