Hatha Yoga Pradipika
started reading Bhastrika

Continuity on Chandra bhedan, but reverted back to Ujjayi

6:00 am / seawall

Asana:
Headstand, 1 min + 2 mins with head rolls

Pranayama:
Ujjayi, 15 mins, 1:4:2:3, no bandha, still taking it easy...hard to do Chandra bhedan with bandha

Meditation:
stillness, 5 mins

Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Bhastrika is done - read, summarized, codified, analyzed and practiced

Yoga by Gigit
None. I realized that I cannot pace YBG with HYP because HYP is too broad and comprehensive. It will take forever to finish YBG. So, from tomorrow, I will skip HYP and focus on YBG since this has a deadline - Marky's arrival in late March to do all the shoots.

Personal practice
7 am / seawall
Intention:
pacing with HYP on Bhastrika

Asana:
Headstand, 3 rounds of 1 min/round

Pranayama:
Bhastrika, 18 mins, 3 rounds, Nadi Shodan style, 3rd round made it WH

Meditation:
OM chanting, 15 mins

Yoga by Gigit
completed the text script for Kapalbhati. Next, shoot the video

Personal practice
6 am / seawall
Intention:
I planned on doing Bhastrika in keeping with my HYP reading, but I wasn't feeling it. Instead, I just did a light Nadi Shodhana

Asana:
Sideplank, left and right, 1 min each, 2 rounds

Pranayama:
Nadi Shodhana, 15 mins, 1:1:1:1 ratio

Meditation:
Trataka, 15 mins, tears on right eye

6 pm / seawall
Asana:
Headstand, 1 min + 2 mins with neck rolls

Pranayama:
Nadi Shodhana, 15 mins, 1:4:2:3 ratio, bandha + mudra

Hatha Yoga Pradipika
On hold until I finish Kapalbhati in YBG

Yoga by Gigit
Shot Kapalbhati video, uploaded and coded (description, meditation and gratitude). To follow is to shoot the actual Kapalbhati breathwork

Personal practice
2 am / home
Intention:
repair my weary eyes and because I cannot go back to sleep

Meditation:
Trataka, until tears 40 mins, but tears only flowed when I closed my eyes and lied down. It stabilized my mind that I would inhale fully then exhale until 'neutral' and hold my breath. The mind was more steady during the breath-hold.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika
On hold until Kapalbhati is done on YBG

Yoga by Gigit
Today should be to finalize the text on the actual breathing of Kapalbhati, shoot video, upload and code

Personal practice
4 am / home
Intention:
Eye care so Trataka. This should be my meditation staple from here on

Meditation:
Trataka, not timed but maybe 40 mins, breath-holds on inhale and exhale, depends on what feels good. Tears when I closed my eyes and lied down.

6:30 am / seawall
Asana:
Headstand, 2 rounds (1 min + 2 mins)
High plank, 5 mins

Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan, 15 mins, 1:4:2:3, bandha, mudra

Meditation:
Sambhavi, 15 mins

6:30 pm / seawall
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan, 15 mins, 1:4:2:3, bandha, mudra

Meditation:
Sambhavi, 10 mins

Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Bhramari - read, summarized, codified and practiced

Yoga by Gigit
Shot the breathing section of Kapalbhati, uploaded and coded in place. Kapalbhati section is now complete.

Next, read up on Paypal Phil and register

Personal practice

Intention:
Pace with HYP, so do Bhramari, continue with Chandra bhedan

7 am / seawall
Asana:
Pistol squat


6 pm / seawall
Asana:
Tree pose with Trataka but could not balance
Headstand (1 min, 2 mins, 3 mins)

Pranayama:
Bhramari, 15 mins, 1:4:∞:1 since the point of Bhramari is to make the bee sound, the exhalation should be the longest. Any breath-hold will only shorten the exhalation. Ideally, the exhalation should be the only breath-hold
Chandra bhedan, 15 mins, 1:4:2:3, bandha + mudra

Meditation:
Trataka with Tree pose, but I couldn't balance so the Trataka was compromised. Shifted to Sambhavi/Nada meditation. Increasingly, the nada sound is becoming more distinct but not any louder

Yoga by Gigit
Started writing about Nadi Shodhana.

Personal practice
Intention:
Pace with HYP: Moorchha

12:00 am / home
Pranayama:
Moorchha, in keeping with HYP. I didn't really get the 'void' effect. Or perhaps I get it more when I do long breath-holds with other pranayama. I don't really find Moorchha unique or effective because you get to do the same things when you do a breath-hold on any pranayama. The tilting of the head is unique, but that really doesn't do much for me.

Meditation:
Trataka, Surya pradarshini mudra, Siddhasana, tears at 20 mins

5:00 am / home
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan on inhale, Bhramari on slowest exhale, Bhaya kumbhaka (no bandha, just awareness that prana is on Sushumna), 20 mins. I find this very effective and I get the benefit of everything I intention - nothing is wasted.

6:00 pm / seawall
Because I ate bread before going, I didn't feel ok to do any kind of asana or pranayama. So I just relaxed on the seawall

Personal practice
Intention:
Chandra bhedan continuity

6 am / seawall
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan + Bhramari, 20 mins, 1:4:∞:1. By doing Bhramari, I don't have to use my right hand for a right nostril exhale - I can stay on Gyana mudra. Besides, I find Bhramari more powerful than a Pingala exhale. I make the bee sound as long as possible (no count, thus ∞)

11:30 am / ride to Lagaan Falls
Asana:
Ride to Lagaan Falls, 15 km uphill and hot

6:00 pm / seawall

My body didn't really want to do anything else after that gruelling ride. So I was just at the seawall, no pranayama, no meditation, but star gazing while lying down on my yoga mat + cushion rugs.

It's interesting what I see while star gazing...falling stars, flashing points of light that go off, and moving light at a fast speed.

Yoga by Gigit
None. I seem to be dragging my feet on this. Honestly, it doesn't motivate me. It's my head telling me I have to provide for my future needs and that this is passive income that'll take care of me.

Personal practice
Intention:
Still Chandra bhedan continuation, even though there are days I just can't do it

4:30 am / home
Meditation:
Trataka on red light, 27 mins, no tears

6 pm / seawall
Asana:
Push-ups, stretching

Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan inhale, hold no bandha, Bhramari exhale, hold no bandha, 15 mins

Meditation:
Trataka, tears on closing eyes, 30 mins

Personal practice
Intention:
Chandra bhedan continuation + eye therapy

6 am / seawall
Asana:
Stretching, headstand

Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan (inhale), Antara kumbhaka + bandha, Bhramari (exhale), Bahya kumbhaka - bandha (none)

Meditation:
Vipassana, 15 mins

12 noon / 15 km bike ride
Asana:
Bike ride from home to Sabas, Kagusuan, Monkey, Nabutay and back (looping), 15 km total

Yoga by Gigit
None. I feel paralyzed by my non-motivation in continuing this.

Personal practice
Intention:
Chandra bhedan continuation

6 am / seawall
Asana:
Stretching, headstand

Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan, left/right nostril breathing, no kumbhaka/bandha, slow breathing

Meditation:
Sambhavi mudra

6 pm / seawall
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan, no hold, slow Bhramari, no hold. I wasn't feeling 100% so bandha and kumbhaka had to be skipped

Meditation:
Nada sound

Yoga by Gigit
I resumed writing on the video text and shot a video of the warm-up breathing. I wanted to finish today but somehow didn't.

Personal practice
Intention:
I'm feeling a burnout from all this yoga intensity. I feel like backing off. I already have a headache that doesn't go away. Instead, I'll just do what feels good, regardless of my established routine.

3:30 am / home
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan, no breath-hold, slow Ujjayi exhale (so my hands are resting), no breath-hold, 20 mins

6:30 pm / wall
Pranayama / Meditation:
I couldn't seem to focus on anything, so I just did a mash-up of what felt doable...Chandra bhedan followed by Sambhavi, then Trataka, then Ujjayi, etc. There was no direction. Maybe the prospect of a fresh fish grilled dinner (just caught by my neighbor fisherman) was causing it.

Personal practice
Intention:
Chandra bhedan continuation + Trataka for vision care

2 am / home
Pranayama:
Chandra bhedan (no antara) inhale/exhale, hold on empty lungs (bahya kumbhaka), 15 mins. This way, I only use my right hand once on 2 breaths. The rest of the time, my hands are on Gyana mudra. This also pushes the benefits of Chandra bhedan since both inhale and exhale are on the left nostril.

Meditation:
Trataka on red light. Tears flowed when I lied down and closed my eyes. I no longer use my reading glass which means I need to double-down on eye therapy for me to see without the glasses

6 pm / seawall
Pranayama:
I couldn't focus so I mashed-up everything - Chandra bhedan, Wim Hof, Nadi Shodhana, etc. At least I was still doing my practice

Asana:
Just movement...slow squats, half forward bend, with spinal mobility

Yoga by Gigit
Shot the video of Breathing Warm Up but didn't get to upload fully.

Personal practice
Intention:
I couldn't do anything this morning as I was deeply disturbed by my blunder with Bitcoin and almost losing the chance to buy a motorbike. Plus, after updating my GCash app, it wouldn't launch anymore! I just decided to go to Bolo-Bolo to take a dip and get some water.

12 noon
Asana:
Biked to Bolo-Bolo, took a dip in the water with dive mask, took water home.

6 pm / seawall
Pranayama:
Just another mash-up of different Pranayama. Doing devoted Chandra bhedan with full kumbhaka and bandha seems different. Also, doing a Wim Hof is feeling alien...like it feels aggressive.

Yoga by Gigit
Uploaded Breathing Warm Up video and coded in place. This segment is complete. Next, Basic Nadi Shodhana pranayama.

Personal practice
Intention:
Just to get back on track

12 am / home

Ujjayi, 1 min, Mandukasana, Antara, Bhramari, Bahya
Nadi Shodhana, 1 min, Mandukasana, Antara, Bhramari, Bahya

Meditation:
Feeling the void, 10 mins

Personal practice
Intention:
My mind is still racing over the prospect of the motorbike purchase so it's hard to concentrate on anything else. A new development of finding a 2014 Honda Wave but at the Siquijor proper branch - old but brand new and only P35k. But no GCash option? New challenges pre-occupy my mind.

5:00 am / home
Pranayama:
Wim Hof (more like fast Ujjayi), not timing, just feeling when it's time to stop
Chandra bhedan (feeling the introverting of the mind), antara kumbhaka + bandha (filling, not rushing for a bandha, stabilizing, then bandha...it's more deliberate), bhramari (visualizing that the reverberation is crumbling and decalcifying the pineal gland to activate it): not timing, just feeling and visualizing everything

Yoga by Gigit

Stretching, slow push-up, headstand

Pranayama:
Wim Hof + Mandukasana

Yoga by Gigit
Finalized rewriting for Marky's arrival and initial meeting

Personal practice
4 am / home
Pranayama:
Wim Hof lying down. This position allows me to extend the breathing to 10 mins non-stop, 2X. I only opted of the full exhale then hold before the full inhale. There was no high. I thought it would knock me out to sleep but no. I stayed awake.

The rest of the day was spent going around the island of Siquijor with Marky.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Plavini pranayama...read, written, but not keen to practice. I don't see any need for 'floating on water' or ingesting air in my stomach...I don't even know if the gulped air really goes into my stomach or still redirected to my lungs. It just didn't resonate.

Personal practice

Wim Hof, two 10-mins, lying down

6 am / seawall

Stretches, little injury on the front split

Meditation:
OM chanting, but I was falling asleep and it's precarious since I could fall off the seawall

1. Resorts - Lazi has some beach/dive resorts on its west coast - Gabayan Riviera, Lazi Beach Club, Bahura Dive Resort. However, the popular area for tourist resorts are in San Juan
2. Transport - Lazi is the junction where the jeeps begin their clockwise route (Lazi-San Juan-Siquijor Port) or the counter clockwise route (Lazi-Maria-Larena Port). Because the jeeps are rare with about 2 to 3 trips/day only in the morning, it's practical to just have a motorcycle here in Siquijor. With its affordability (a brand new Rusi motorbike is as low as P45k), people just buy motorcycles...especially those who live up in the mountains.
3. The Boulevard - Lazi's main draw is its seaside cobblestone promenade. When the sun goes down, people gather here for eats, drinks, open-air, harbor view and the sunset
4. Lazi Port - Lazi just recently opened up its port with Kho Shipping plying the Iligan, Tagbilaran and Cebu routes.

Lazi to Iligan City route by Kho Shipping was just opened up in early April 2023. Before, going to Iligan City meant going to Siquijor Port, 30 km away. This also meant that on the way back, you have to be in Siquijor before 2pm to catch the last jeep to Lazi. With this direct route, there is no 'last trip' to catch.

1. Lazi Port - take Kho Shipping to Iligan City, Tu-Th-Sat, 6 hours, Lazi departure 5 am, arrival in Iligan City Port 11 am, economy P800, tourist P1100, tickets available at Lazi office 2pm-10pm M-Sat

Lazi to Cagayan de Oro route by Kho Shipping was just opened up in early September 2023. Before, going to Davao meant going to Iligan first, then bus to CDO and then bus to Davao City. Now, Iligan can be completely bypassed saving about 3 hours on the trip.

1. Lazi Port - take Kho Shipping to Cagayan de Oro, Tu-F-Sun, 6 hours, Lazi departure 6 am, arrival in Cagayan de Oro Port 12 noon, economy P1,100.00, tourist P1,400.00, tickets available at Lazi office 2pm-10pm M-Sat

Lazi to Dumaguete route by Kho Shipping was just opened up in early September 2023. Before, going to Dumaguete meant going to Siquijor Port, 30 km away. This also meant that on the way back, you have to be in Siquijor before 2pm to catch the last jeep to Lazi. With this direct route, there is no 'last trip' to catch.

1. Lazi Port - take Kho Shipping to Dumaguete, M-Th-Sat, 3 hours, Lazi departure 1 am, arrival in Dumaguete Port 4 am, economy P300, tourist P500, tickets available at Lazi office 2pm-10pm M-Sat

Lazi to Cagayan de Oro route by Kho Shipping was just opened up in early September 2023. Before, going to Davao meant going to Iligan first, then bus to CDO and then bus to Davao City. Now, Iligan can be completely bypassed saving about 3 hours on the trip.

1. Lazi Port - take Kho Shipping to Cagayan de Oro, Tu-F-Sun, 6 hours, Lazi departure 6 am, arrival in Cagayan de Oro Port 12 noon, economy P1,100.00, tourist P1,400.00, tickets available at Lazi office 2pm-10pm M-Sat





2. Cagayan de Oro Port - arrival 12 noon. Take a jeep to East Terminal (Agora) to catch the Davao-bound bus
3. CDO East Terminal (Agora) - take bus going to Davao City, 8 hours, PHP 875. This terminal is open 24 hours and there is always a bus going to Davao - no need to pre-purchase tickets
4. Davao Bus Terminal - you'll arrive at the Davao Bus Terminal, close to SM City. From there you can take a cab ride to your hotel. There are many jeeps that will also take you to the Poblacion town center, 15 mins, PHP 12

Lazi to Cebu entails a stopover at Tagbilaran - you only pay for one ticket (I've broken down the individual trips in case you're boarding from Tagbilaran). From the 5pm boat departure from Lazi, it would cost PHP 1000 (it's odd that it's cheaper to pay for the individual trips rather than paying for both...PHP 845 vs 1000) and take about 10 hours.

1. Lazi Port - take Kho Shipping to Tagbilaran, W-F-Sun, 4 hours, Lazi departure 1 am, arrival in Tagbilaran Port 5 am, economy P475, tourist P750, tickets available at Lazi office 2pm-10pm M-Sat





2. Tagbilaran Port - arrival 5 am, layover 1 hour, departure for Cebu 6am (5 hours), economy P370, tourist P520
3. Cebu Port - arrival 11 am

Jeeps - there are only 2 routes for jeeps within Siquijor Island - and they are rare. Most people have their own motorcycle transport.

1. Siquijor Port to Lazi - last trip leaves at 3pm from station near market
2. Lazi to Siquijor Port - jeeps depart from the Lazi Port area. 5 jeeps, the last trip at 12:30 pm. Lazi to San Juan, P50.
3. Larena Port to Lazi - jeeps are unpredictable. As of this writing, there is only 1 jeep plying the Larena-Lazi route. This jeep leaves Larena for Lazi at 9:50am. After that, no more jeep. You'll have to take a tricycle to Siquijor Pob for jeeps going to Lazi
4. Lazi to Larena Port - 6am (daily) and 9 am (M-Th)

Food - these were suggested by a local to me

1. Lechon manok & liempo - roasted pork belly and chicken at Joel's in Siquijor Poblacion. I've tried this myself...yummy, even if the chicken was no longer hot
2. Bibingka - sweetened rice cake by Fidy's Bibingka (P30) in Sawang, Maria. I've come back for this and I buy for other people as well as 'pasalubong' - they love this
3. Siopao - at the Rosita store near Thrifty (P25) in Siquijor Poblacion
4. Peanut butter - by Rene. Just ask around in Siquijor Poblacion. It's popular
5. Torta - sweet cakish bread at the Thrifty story in Siquijor Poblacion

1. Montenegro Lines - at Siquijor Port, P234.00/pax, P169/bicycle, 7:30am/10:00am/2:00pm/4:30pm




2. Aleson Shipping - at Siquijor Port, 6 am and 6 pm daily, 1:30 pm M-Sat, Regular P200.00/pax, Aircon P250.00/pax




3. Ocean Jet - 40 mins,at Siquijor Port, 0919.066.5964, www.oceanjet.net, marketing@ocenajet.net, 6:00am/6:00pm, P350/pax (tourist/open air), P580/pax (business class)
   
   

En route to Cebu City, the ferries usually make a stop-over to Tagbilaran (Bohol) to pick-up more passengers or unload.

1. Ocean Jet - 2 hours, 8:20am, at Siquijor Port
   To Tagbilaran: P800/tourist & open air, P1200/business class
   To Cebu: ?
2. Lite Ferries - at Larena Port,
   To Tagbilaran: T-Th-Sun, P475/standard, 7pm, 3 hours, PHP?
   To Cebu: T-Th-Sun, 7pm, 7 hours, PHP 650

1. Lite Ferries - at Larena Port, T-Th-Sun, 2:00 am, 5 hours, PHP?

There is only one bus plying this route - Sugbo Urban. Tourist class coach, a/c, comfortable, Sun-Fri (these dates keep changing). P420 for bus, P275 for ferry to Liloan. Larena Port around 5 am, makes a clockwise roundtrip around Siquijor Island - Larena, Enrique Villanueva, Maria, Lazi (stops at Lazi market for breakfast and leaves 6:50 am), San Juan, Siquijor (arrives 8am, P50 from Lazi to Siquijor Poblacion) and catches the 1pm ferry at Larena Port (Sundays at 3 pm) for Liloan, Cebu and resumes its land route. Arrives Cebu City (South Bus Terminal) 10 pm.

Sugbo Urban is the cheapest and most convenient way because it goes around the island (clockwise) along the circumferential road, passing through - Enrique Villanueva, Maria, Lazi, San Juan, Siquijor...and back to Larena where it takes the ferry at 1 pm. This saves you the hassle and high transport cost of a tricycle. Besides, it's a long trip from the other side of the island to be taking by tricycle.

These are the nearest popular destinations from Siquijor by boat

1. Bohol - Bohol is an island northeast Siquijor. Tourist attractions are Chocolate Hills, Tarsier Monkey, Loboc River Cruise, Beaches of Panglao, whale sharks (recent offering), freediving (recent offering)
2. Cebu - Cebu City is the usual gateway into the Visayas. But in Cebu Island itself, there are many offerings - Whale Sharks of Oslob, sardine run at Moalboal,Thresher Shark of Malapascua
3. Dapitan (Zamboanga del Norte) - I haven't been there but a lot of island ferries ply this port. There must be something here.
4. Dumaguete - Dumaguete is a small charming progressive coastal town in Negros Oriental. Cafe and restaurants line the famous Boulevard Boardwalk. Tourist attractions include Japanese Shrine, Casaroro Falls, snorkeling along the southern coastline (Dauin, Masaplod Norte, etc), Balinsasayao Twin Lakes
5. Plaridel (Misamis Occidental, Mindanao) - I haven't been there but a lot of island ferries ply this port. There must be something here.
