BURNING SO INTENSELY, YET SO GENTLY
WF ONLINE STUDENT KARL UPDATING HIS TEACHER HAKU...
LIVIN' THE WF ONLINE LIFE...WHAT IF EVERYBODY DID?!?!?
Good Morning Coach,
he herbs really kicked in this week. I added a single Slim Cap (2) to my twice daily input and was mindful of the quality of food intake (fruits and vegetables) and the combination really went to work on my internals. Spent a lot of quality time in the "library".
The week offered a great opportunity for study and reading. How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali; Total Body Transformation - Coach Ilg and the music and chants of Krishna Das and Girish. Now that's what I am talking about.
Strength - This was a very good week. Right on the practice sheet and then some. Felt great energy and focus. A year with WF techniques allows for focus on task. Elegance under pressure. Stomach and core requires a great deal of attention. Oh my that extra girth.... Breath and posture.
Cardio - It rained and rained and rained so indoor on the treadmill and spin bike again this week. Right on the practice sheet. This is a mental push everyday. It takes a good 10-15 minutes to get a rhythm. I have printed and posted your Blog speak near my Iron Temple/bike-treadmill. Practice and consistency. Sweating like crazy. And it is all good. going to head outside this afternoon and take a run with the dogs outside.
Yoga - Each day and each morning. I love this stuff. I did solo practice each day. Focused on opening up the hips. Pigeon pose plus Green Tara, Sun Salutations like crazy, Ai Imawa. I do my yoga in the AM following my morning meditations and the time is such that I watch the sun rise as I am doing the yoga and listening to Krishna Das or some music like it. A great beginning to the day.
Meditation - Each morning. This week Coach Ilg talked to me each morning. Fear and Fitness, Stream Entry, or Workout is Everywhere rotated on the play list. Timeless work by coach. I bow to his lead down the path of WF and the discovery of the true self. Amazing that he (and you) can burn so intensely yet so gently. I bow.
Nutrition - Back to 3 bowls and working with the entire family now to plan, set up, shop, and eat. All with different motivations yet a team non the less. Very good week with the herbs. Consistent and the trips to the bathroom reflected it. Phase 1 plus some Quinary and Alpha 20C.
Nothing more and nothing less.
WF and Coach Haku are my beacons for 2006.
