Qortal Web Hosting

(May 17, 2022) Since my priority with Qortal is to develop and host a website within its blockchain, my immediate task after reading its introduction and tutorial was creating even a simple dummy website just to acclimatize its interface and features.

The Complete Book of Vinyasa Yoga by Srivatsa Ramaswami

(datedate) Srivatsa Ramaswami was a direct one-on-one student of the legendary Tirumalai Krishnamacharya for 33 years. His experience with the Master encompassed yogic elements of asana, breathing, mindfulness, and therapy.

FLASHBACK

Burning Man 2003

(Aug 25 - Sep 2, 2003) I first heard of Burning Man in 1997 and it seemed like a remote fantasy that was beyond reach. Little did I know 6 years later that I'll be there to experience first hand a profound personal transformation that's to take place.....more »»

The 64 km Bike Ride

(May 16, 2023) To shock the body back into a fitness paradigm, especially after the bingeing from fiesta food, I embarked on a bike ride around Siquijor Island on my clunky, heavy and small-wheeled Japanese folding bike - a total of 75.25 km...more »»

In Search of a Cool Climate

(May 25, 2023) I love the place where I'm at, but it is seriously punishing in the mid afternoon when the sun is right above. It's almost impossible to be productive when sweat is running all over the body. Time to look for a new place...more »»

Lazi Fiesta

(May 15, 2023) Like most fiestas in the Philippines, Lazi's fiesta is over the top - you drown in food. Not to be outdone, the house where I stay had its whole pig roasted on a spit (lechon)...more »»

Third Eye Opening?

My May Yoga Practice: a Journal

(May 1-31, 2023) I've added the Gateway Process in my yoga routine. I plan on pursuing this until I exhaust the materials I can get on this. This means my other yoga pursuits will have to take a back seat - Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Yoga by Gigit.

Consciousness Creates Reality?

(Mar 6, 2023) The more I desire an outcome, the increased likelihood it will happen. And it has, on so many occassions. I'm drawn to conclude that consciousness influences the way reality unravels. But what if we kick it up a notch? What if consciousness actually creates reality?..more »»

(Feb 12, 2023) Kundalini Shakti is the energy that lies dormant in the Muladhara chakra. When awakened, it rises up through the Sushumna nadi until it reaches the Ajna chakra.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika

(Oct 1, 2022 - ???) While nearly every yogi I meet talks about Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as his/her basis for their practice (which is mostly asana), Patanjali's Sutras actually only mentions one asana - a seated pose that can be held long and comfortably.
