Namaste Noble Warriors!
"Fall in love with the agony of love,
not the ecstasy
then the Beloved
will fall in love with you."
- Rumi
if you practice Wholistic Fitness you know that my system of personal training conditions you to fall in love with the agony of daily training and day to day challenges.
it's difficult stuff.
but it is vital for the evolution of our human spirit and character. those of us who sense the wisdom of WF commit ourselves to difficulty because we realize only by devoting ourselves to difficulty can we ever truly be freed from it.
if you practice Wholistic Fitness you notice body/mind Awakenings seem to occur every three months as long your Practice is strong within all the Five Fitness Disciplines and the Four Lifestyle Principles.
you must perform the Workouts from your deepest sense of Self. you must be a spiritual warrior and strive for excellence in every workout performed, be it the gym or yoga mat or meditation cushion.
there are no shortcuts to genuine spiritual work.
the last few days, i have had yet another honor to feel within the fibers of my being yet another beautiful Shift...ever upward, ever nudging me Higher toward a fuller realization of what Love truly can be in terms of living it fully.
i bow to this noble Path
i bow to you
enjoy your training today...
and
be brave today in some way...
and
dance!
love from the humble Helm,
coach ilg
