Obviously, this Club is not performance-orientated, at least not in the sense people usually approach sports. We are on the search for the experience of “the zone” or “the flow” while moving and exercising.

To achieve that goal, the usual principles of good exercising, healthy living, and fitness will apply only partially and up to certain levels. With time we’ll point out the differences, but for a start, we are in accordance with what is obvious: you have to exercise!

In this series of articles, I intend to follow the advancement of End7ess SoulSport Club with some instructions and goal settings for the whole group.

Let’s start with the statistics Strava provides in the form of a weekly Leaderboard. Here are the first three places for a second week (20 members at the moment.

Congratulations on the top achievements!

Let’s learn from the statistics and set up the goal for everyone in the group.

Distance statistics are of no particular value because cyclists will easily gain the distance numbers, while those who exercise statically travel no distance at all. I would like to see another kind of statistic here, for example, how many vigorous minutes per week, or even better applied power while staying in the second heart rate zone. For now, we’ll have to accept what is given. So, friendly distance competition is just for fun.

However, time spent exercising and the number of activities are quite important for our purpose. Let’s set a goal for each member of the group.

The minimum time spent exercising per day is 30 minutes. Don’t aim for some “serious” sport and wait for “the right time” to do it. Just do it every day, whenever you can. Vigorous walking is fine, some yoga is good, and calisthenics is even better because you can do it anywhere, without special equipment or conditions. Our first goal is to record at least one activity for 30 minutes every day. We can skip one day, and that leaves us with six (6) recorded activities per week.

The second important goal (actually the first according to Strava statistics) is time spent exercising. You have to add one longer exercise per week of a minimum of two hours. That can be a longer bicycle ride, a hike on the local hill, or something else that suits your inclinations. So we have five times 30 minutes, one day rest, and one day 120 minutes per week as our first goal. Altogether it is 4 hours 30 minutes weekly spent exercising.

And here we are: we have a clear goal for each member of the Club: a minimum of four hours and thirty minutes of activity spread over a minimum of six recorded exercises (no shorter than 30 minutes) per week.

So, let’s do it!

Next few weeks we’ll celebrate the success of those who will achieve that goal! Let’s make this a standard before we move on to further additions in our search for the flow!

As such, a passionate lover of Nature of everything outdoors, I came in contact with others who feel the same passion. A few years back, an idea came about for a more comprehensive blog filled with different “spiritual” experiences from different sports like biking, hiking, climbing, SUP-ing, and many other activities like simple walking, traveling, or camping.

I am excited to show you the beginning of a new adventure today! Soulwindsurf is naturally included in the project, and for now, we have the Camping and Soul Sports blog section. We’ll expand with time and more contributors (we are open for cooperation).

Here are some of the highlights on the End7ess home page.

You can turn any physical activity into a soul sport. You’ll have to go outdoors and feel the elements: the Earth, the Water, the Sun, and the Air. Your soul also needs Space, so don’t be afraid to travel and explore. Life has a different taste in different parts of the world. One rule, though: no competing! Soul sports is cooperation, not competition. Only you and Nature.

Soul sports will open your mind and body to new possibilities. They are easy to practice and do not require any specific fitness level. Their results include more vitality, a stronger body, a peaceful mind, profound happiness, and overall life satisfaction.

My experience shows that shared joy becomes even greater! I am excited to see how people’s lives change when they start with a more active lifestyle. We at End7ess project want to share our experience, at the same time, learn from yours.

Follow our pages (www.end7ess.eu), follow us on social networks https://www.facebook.com/soulwindsurf and https://twitter.com/soulwindsurf (we’ll keep the “soulwindsurf” name in social networks addresses).

Share the excitement, share the love – that’s our life motto. If you are a kindred spirit, let’s share it together!

The dawn comes only if you are awake. If you are asleep, you can not see the beauty of the world. Don’t just move from the chair in front of your computer, through the armchair in front of your TV to the easy-chair on the beach. Move. Give the body a chance to show you what it is capable. Pay attention to birds, the color of the grass, and all the wonders around you. Be here. Move and feel Nature.

Your body can be the source of great pleasure and one more means to hasten your path towards magic.

Do not rush.
Stop for a moment.
Inhale.
Feel what you are.
Exhale.
Do not overthink.
Inhale.
Accept.
Exhale.
Now go.
Slowly.

Don’t miss it. If you are really there, at the moment, with no thoughts about anything else, your perception of reality can change drastically. For years I was cultivating the skill of soulwindsurfing, using one of the most beautiful sports ever invented to touch the aetheric realms of changed perception.

It happens almost every time I am out there, with my board and sail, dancing with the wind. In the past, I tried to explain it with the words, but it is a difficult task. What I see, what I hear, and how I feel? I see a lot of lights, sparkles of unearthly existence. The other bodies and objects are transformed into angelic forms. I hear music interwoven with the whisper of the wind and singing of board flying happily over the sea.

Yeah, I know, it is hard to believe. But, some of my comrades, brothers, and sisters in sails, know what I am talking about.

It is not even close to the real thing, but in the video, I used a hint of technology to recreate a moment of aetheric windsurfing.
