Yes but the healthy body leads to a healthier mind. If you start with the mind and the body is falling apart, how healthy can you make your mind, really? Where as if you start with the body and then move to the mind, you are in a better position imo. As long as your goal is self mastery you will probably end up in the same place with either, but if you are just starting out, I think body first has the greater impact. I’m sure it varies person to person

I was jogging an average of 12 miles/week for several years prior to my awakening so that agrees with the idea that having the body in order first is a good step. I remember the runner's high like I was possessed by the spirit of Wolverine charging into battle as I ran uphill. There was a spiritual component to getting the temple in good shape as it is the spirit's vehicle/dwelling.
that wolverine battle spirit is the fucking greatest. listening to some good metal and running, topless, feeling like a berserker charging in to tear some heads off... damn making me want to go for a run right now. 🤔 ..i should start duel-wielding axes...
