2021 Emo Clearing Retreats

 Get #EmoClear'd and finally move on and move forward to a more promising more peaceful brand new year... and years ahead.
Who should do an emo clearing...  Is this only for 2021...
People have different reasons for doing an emo clearing.  There can be many various reasons and intentions for doing the emo clearing.
Most of the people I have encountered:
1.  They were doing it as part of their #selfwork and/or energy work.
2.  They were doing it as part of adopting a more holistic-based lifestyle.
3.  They were doing it to address and "bring peace" to emotional-based traumas.
4.  They were doing it because it was part of the course... of which they eventually found other reasons for it such as bringing peace to past experiences.
I will continue providing these retreats after 2021, but not as frequent, to allow for other works.  Though for 2021, I would like to commit more time to supporting the collective in their clearing work AND understanding self work and clearing work.  As a lot of people have yet to fully comprehend the value of doing so in their own personal lives.
I am also committing a whole year to this work to support more awareness and erudition:  I would like more and more people to pass on the work.  Apart from assisting you in your personal emo clearing, this is also to ensure that you will be able to do this for others as well.
The Emo Clearing Process was never meant to be something memorized and "get it done and over with and forgotten once done".  It is not some kind of medicine... or pill to pop.  This is a process.  An "occurence" for you to experience.  And so you are encouraged to pass on the work in the future based on your own experience and words.
#EmoClearingRetreat2021 is available online and "in person".  Minimum of ONE and maximum of FIVE participants only.
I have been distributing the copy of my personal process as part of my work and collective support, for the past six years.  And held a synchronized supported process in 2019.  There remains many questions and much needed guidance.  Thus, I have decided to hold fully supervised retreats.  And these will be held once a month for the entire 2021.  These will be held in La Union only.  Any change in venue will be announced as soon as possible.  Tourists are allowed to participate.  Please refer to government protocols regarding travel/tourism.
You may choose to request a virtual/online session.
The methodology that will be used has been updated.  It is streamlined and re-designed for the intentions of the retreat.
It is vital that you are properly holistically conditioned and prepared before the process.  So please ensure you finalize your appointment at least five calendar days prior to the start of each session.
Please do not appear on the start date itself.  Finalize your schedule at least five calendar days prior. 
Fee (fair energy exchange) includes copy of the lectures and materials required for the activities.  PDF/digital copies are available, and printed copies will be mailed separately for virtual participants.  Email and phone number will be distributed to confirmed participants only, to ensure full support is available during the entire process.
SCHEDULES:
The Supervised Emo Clearing takes place once every month, starting January 2021.
January 16 to 24
February 16 to 24
March 23 to 31
April 20 to 28 
Day One: Arrival, Opening, and Orientation (or online opening and orientation)
Day Two to Four: Three-Day Prep, Lecture and Q&A
Day Five: Emo Clearing
Day Six: REST
Day Seven: One-On-One Session (per participant)

Day Nine: Closing and Departure (or online closing)
The Supervised Emo Clearing Retreat is designed exclusively for those who prefer to have available guidance and support throughout the entire process; whether online or “in person”.
Note:
Online and "in person" participants are separated.
Online sessions and personal sessions are held separately.
Online and personal participants will not be mixed together.

टिट्टिभासन The Firefly Asana

Attempting the full split version of Ṭiṭṭibhāsana.  I know it's an advanced asana, and especially one of those that requires the body to at least be ready enough for it.  Though I felt that inner yoga call nudging consistently to just check it out and see how it goes.

😍I'm actually happy that I got the split right.😍

Lights Galore

 #YES Can you believe that my parents’ anniversary happens to be the “Remember, Remember The Fifth Of November Day”!  How cool is that!

 

And to celebrate…

 

Let’s talk more about more #LIGHT!  And enLIGHTening the world!

 

It also so happens that I woke up from an unplanned intermittent fast of about 30 hours.  I wasn’t intending it.  It was a “LightFULL” day.  I was mostly in bed.  I only managed my basic warm-ups.  And almost didn’t want to get up and eat.  I felt like just soaking it all in, sleeping in, and letting the day go by.  What difference does it make.  I winded up getting up and out of bed anyway.

 

Before I proceed with More Light Stuff…

 

I did say that “if it is for you, then it’s gonna happen”.  And I also said that “some people are just not meant to do this”.

 

So it gives the impression that “it is something that can be left to chance”.  Such that:  If it is for you, then it is for you… it will happen, regardless of whether you decide to do it or not.

 

My only response to that is:

 

Sounds “fatalistic”.

 

Life is a paradox.

 

Just like driving… you have to hold on to the wheel and yet “let go”.  You might be propelling and maneuvering the vehicle.  However, you aren’t completely in control of making the vehicle move or reach its destination.

 

Not making a choice to turn #plantbase #nonfoodist “insert preferred term here” IS A CHOICE in itself.

 

Leaving it to some idea of fate IS A CHOICE you make.

 

I commend Jolie for at least trying to turn plantbase… regardless of the fact that it previously didn’t work out.  And I still staunchly believe that if she is interested enough, she can do so.  I’d love to support her in her process.

 

I commend the people “who tried”.  Who seriously went on fasts and detoxes… and seriously tried to get off the meat.  And still wish they could.  Regardless of the fact that it previously didn’t work out.

 

At least they actually tried.

 

And by trying… they found out for themselves what is possible for them.

 

I’ve been sharing this link, though I have been considering updating it.  Regardless, everything still serves true, especially for those who are beginning, exploring, trying out, testing the waters of deepening their #pranic #light #nonfooding practice.

Link here:  https://jonalynesperanzacrisologo.blogspot.com/2016/10/breatharian-fact-or-fiction.html?m=1

 

If there was anything I am to add, especially for those who are already practicing #veganism #wfpb and partial #raw #fruitarian who are wanting to deepen pranic practice… “pranic” here being an operative term to avoid too much repetition of words…

 

1.  Drink more water

2.  To me, it’s “friendlier to the body” when you increase intermittent fasting, instead of shocking it through forced long fasts.  Because when the body is truly ready, it will do things voluntarily.  The body has its own way of “revolting”, when you are forcing it.

3.  I truly believe it is important to keep in mind that pranic is leagues different from veganism in many ways… even if they share similar aims, goals, visions, missions, desires, ideals.

 

Having said that…

 

It’s important to think pranic, instead of thinking vegan.

 

4.  You have to come into terms with your philosophical and spiritual beliefs.  You can learn from many practitioners out there.  Whether through medical, scientific, or spiritual methods.  It is my honest opinion that one person can explore such through spiritual means… and someone might be able to explore it as nothing more than a scientific process.

 

Though I must say that even medical practitioners attest that “some sense of spiritual belief” has remarkably shown significant differences between spiritual people and nonspiritual people.

 

Regardless… I think it would be very interesting for someone to write about his/her own nonspiritual experience of nonfoodism.

 

5.  You have to come into terms with your beliefs and perspectives on abstinence.  Especially “abstinence beyond food”.

 

I previously wrote about this.  I said I believe abstinence is not about a perspective on sex per se.  Instead, it’s truly about self-empowerment.

 

I think many people hold back from deepening their practice mostly because of the known/unknown belief that nonfoodism involves abstaining from sex.

 

There are those who do.

 

There are those who don’t.

 

The choice is yours.

 

My personal take is that:

 

Abstinence from sex does have an effect… which you can only experience by finding out for yourself.

 

It has been believed that abstinence from sex is necessary to go further in your practice.  It is something believed even in Kung Fu/etc.

 

Though it is becoming popular knowledge that there are “workarounds”, which allow you to develop abilities that supposedly are much simpler when you abstain.

 

In spite of that…

 

There are people who still decide to abstain.  And usually it is because they are trying to achieve something… experience something… which they believe they can only attain through abstinence from everything they can abstain from.

 

Howbeit, I still conclude:  It is a personal choice.  Nobody has to enforce it.  And you are the only one who can decide on it.

 

There are people who might have consciously deliberately chosen to abstain.  And there are those who are “unwilling abstainers”.  There are those who might have been “unwilling”, and yet they eventually experienced the advantages… so they actually continue abstaining by choice.

 

To me, while there are many purposes and reasons for doing so… the top reason people abstain is:  Shared Energy.

 

Ergo:  It is still your choice.

 

On a similar note…

 

I did hear about that “no fapping movement” going around.  And it is a unified move against pornography (and other related unhealthy sex practices).  And it is also a way of sexducating mostly men about sex and energy.  However… how different is fapping from sex per se.  Is there a true difference.

 

When you think about that this is about “SELF-EMPOWERMENT”…

 

I think you pretty much get it that: impulsive-compulsive sex… having sex out of habit… these still fall under sexual dis-empowerment.

 

If you are still going around having sex for the need of it… and to a degree unable to control it… then you still fall under sexual dis-empowerment.

 

What’s the difference between saying:

 

It’s just one stick.

It’s just one glass.

 

I think one thing I would say is…

 

You have to be at peace with who you are and what you are.

 

If you cannot grasp the idea of abstaining, perhaps accept that abstaining is not for you.  The same way that turning plantbase or nonfoodist is probably not for everyone.

 

If you are married…

 

Or maybe you were thinking about getting engaged… or getting married at some point… or having a family…

 

You have to figure things out.

 

There are married couples who have and had and continue to explore pranic living.  And intend to build “pranic families”.

 

The same way other couples have figured raising #veganfamilies #plantbasefamilies.

 

Going it all the way and completely negating sex from your life… that’s a whole different venture that requires a different intention in mind.

 

It’s your life.  It’s your journey.

Overcoming Heights Issues

 I finally climbed that ladder and of course I had to do a rajakapotasana and padangusthasana.

I'm so glad I did this today.

💕

Personal Truths And Facts

Personal Truths And Facts, which I realize I should probably mention.  As it turns out these are yet unconventional in my part of the globe.  I didn’t think of it that way, as I do have family, friends, relatives, or family acquaintances who are like me.

 

I turned 40 this year.  I don’t talk about it like a big thing.  Because in certain holistic practices… I’d only be 4 years old.  And based on cosmic origin and God conception… I’m a new soul.  As a psychic, I encounter children who are actually eons older than I am based on “soul age”.  If I try to remember… I have probably only encountered a handful of people who are “new souls” of equal soul age or younger.  In fact, when a person actually comprehends such things… I tell them “I only have NOW”.  If we were ever to be so technical and precise… people are experiencing birth and rebirth ever so often.  You wake from a nap or a good night’s sleep.  And the truth is that you didn’t just come from slumbering.  You literally crossed over and returned for the nth time… birthing yourself for the nth time within just this present lifetime.  A birth certificate is just a paper that keeps a collective reality in place.  And if we ever add True Time to the equation.  Time is nothing like what the clock says.

 

Regardless…

 

I am 40.

 

And I’m happy about it.

 

And I think another reason I haven’t fussed over it is because other men and women don’t share the same sentiment with me.  And I don’t want to sound “KJ” for being fine with being 40.

 

Yes.

 

I AM 40.

 

While the reason I have chosen to stay “not married” has nothing to do with children… the fact is that I have no intentions of having children naturally.

 

When an ideal suitable partner turns up, I will think over marriage.  I’ll get there when I get there.

 

Though it is a definite fact that cannot be argued or reasoned with that:  I have no intentions of having children.  I won’t allow it.  I won’t let it happen.

 

I wonder how many men are willing to have a vasectomy these days.  I wonder how many men are willing not to have children for that matter.

 

CFPR and sustainability and ashtanga have nothing to do with this personal decision.

 

I’ve made this decision even before I realized what is ideal to CFPR and ashtanga.

 

I’ll probably consider fostering… though I’m not very keen on adopting.  Though I have no intentions either of being a single parent.  If that ever happens, I’m surely sending the child/children to their father.

 

I also seem to have a preference for younger men.  Or my age.  I can work with older men or be friends with them... but probably due to our many differences, we don't fit romantically.  Having said that... not all younger men actually mesh well with me either.

I think I'm Just Me... and I can't be anything else.  So I figured a guy has to be like me to a certain degree... for us to actually fit and stay together.

I’m not domesticated.  I was always around my parents, though I just wasn’t raised to be domesticated.

 

I love children.  But I’m done with babysitting.  I’ve babysitted a lot of children already.  I’m done with that life experience.

 

I’ve learned not to care too much.  Just care enough.  Just care as much as you should be caring at all.

 

And YES.  It is true.  I’m a very meticulous person when it comes to “getting to know someone”.  I have to know everything I consider relevant, before I jump into a first date.

 

Ten years ago, I might have been a different person.  Those who know me would probably say “What Happened”.

 

I’m no longer that person from 10 years ago.

 

And I’m actually happy about the person I AM NOW.

 

I have no judgements about the person I was in the past.  I’m happy for her.  I’m happy for having experienced being that person.

 

And I’m happy I am now the person I am.  I am certain that even my past self is happy and loves this version of me.

 

I AM WHO I AM.  At All Times.  And Always Am.

 

 

 

 

 

Light Family Memories

 Some memories with my "babysitter's club".  During this time, I was already having "an on and off relationship with being plantbase".  Photos are circa 2008 to 2010.

I was aware of fruitarianism.  I was aware of the word "pranic" though I didn't have a full idea what it is.  I was aware my eldest sister had this thing about food already... she never mentioned she is "nonfooding" and she would still eat meat, especially sushi and sashimi (she was living mostly in Japan during those times).  Though she never said a word about "what exactly she's doing".

I did notice as early as the 2000's when she first visited from the US that she was drinking Yogi Tea.  And I thought she was just on a diet.  Because I never actually saw her yoga-ing.  She exercises... runs... and had a punching bag we use to play with.  I just knew she was pretty strong and had a lot of power to run distances.  Though she never said anything.  And I never actually saw her doing "something" that would make me ask her about all of it.

Based on what I did observe from her during those times... she wasn't trying to be vegan or plantbase.  Though she ate minimally.

I haven't seen her in a long time.  So I wouldn't know how that turned out for her.  I don't think she was trying to be "something" and it was more of a "self experience and journey" for her.

Though it was interesting to know and observe.  If she probably told me then... I would have probably consciously deliberately practiced #light #pranic #rawfoodism #fruitarianism much much earlier.

Scientists who have been studying the "phenomenon" created categories for "technical definition".  There is what they call as "the unconscious unaware level" and "the conscious aware level".

As the terms imply...

The unconscious unaware level is when we experience detachment from physical food without consciously deliberately attempting to do so.  

The conscious aware level is when we consciously deliberately practice "pranarianism".  I'm using  the word loosely here as a technical operative term.

#lightpower #plantstrong

New Do

 A neighbor finally had the courage to ask me about my haircut.

I commend the sensible reasoning.  At least my neighbor figured it might be the weather that compelled me to get a cut.

I'm tempted to use that quick explanation next time someone asks me.  Except I decided either I say the truth or not say anything.

And I don't wanna put the blame on the innocent weather.

BEing

 

Every now and then, I still remember that day when I was out for a walk.

It was some time around spring of 2008.

I would go out for a walk almost every day… if not every day.

One time, I decided to go farther than I usually do.  It’s not like I’d get lost anyway.  It’s a quiet neighborhood.  And anyone else I’d bump into would be someone who’s also out for a walk or out for a run… or maybe biking… and minding his/her own business.

When I was certain enough that walking farther was surely safe…

I decided to go even farther each day.

Until I started walking into other neighborhoods… and even attempted going to the woods all alone.  I figured that there were a lot of people who walk alone there, too.  It must be safe.  One day, I was going to go all the way inner and deeper into the woods.  But I hesitated for a long time.  I remembered my sister’s stories.  I was walking back and forth for probably 30 minutes… observing the people who walk all the way deeper… gauging my luck and making up my mind.

I truly wanted to go all the way…

My “protective self” must have taken over and made me walk all the way back to the main road.

Instead, I found myself taking a walk through “the other neighborhoods”.  And there were quite a lot of people at that time.  Lots of different kinds of people.

One of the kinds of people I crossed paths with was a couple who stood waaaay above me… they looked like giants.  I was a bit amazed by the fact that they seemed to literally be double my height.

I was trying to figure out if they truly were that tall.  They glanced my way as we were crossing each other’s paths… and we greeted each other with smiles.

A lot of times, whenever that happens… I always feel like I… we… know each other since forever.

I continued walking.

And savoring that moment.

And finally managed to put into words what I was truly feeling:  I Could Be Myself.  I Feel Welcome And Safe To Simply Be Myself.

Today…

Perhaps it was the rain…

Perhaps it was ashtavakrasana…

Though I have said earlier this year that ashtavakra is one asana that does make you say to yourself:  Damn if you do, damn if you don’t.  Just get down and do it. 

I thought I do it a lot already. 

I realized I can still be More Of Myself.

And I’m sure there’s so much of “just being me” that I can be and do.

So, here’s to #BEing... BEing Even More Of My Own True Self.

What's It Like Growing Up In A Home Filled With Psychics/Gifted Ones

What's it like growing up and being able to talk about your dreams and visions and the "other side" and "other beings"...

The "more acceptable term" in the "society" I grew up in is ESP.  And fortunately it runs in the family.

I had one sister who has seen "dwendes".  I realized later on that her energy is highly attuned to benevolent kinds of "dwarf-like/elf-like beings".  As children, we often woke up at night seeing things.  And we would both talk about it in the morning.

Another sister is clairaudient and has an "interesting clairaudient gift" (not all clairaudient people has it, though one of our nephews turned out to have it, too).

One time I came home from shopping due to a shoe sale.  And when I got home and checked my FB, my mom posted reminding me not to be going around shopping for more shoes than I can wear.

Time and Distance are illusions.  At that time, she was in the US and I was in Makati.

Healthy Is The New Sexy

#HealthyIsTheNewSexy

It is common for #healthbuffs to do “Before And After Photos/Videos”, to keep track of their progress.  Seeing their progress also serves as an inspiration to keep going AND a reward… the result of all their efforts serves as the ultimate reward.

I seldom take these kinds of photos and do these kinds of posts, mostly because I have a different perspective and definition for “healthy” and “strength”.

I also think there are many plantbase bodybuilders and healthbuffs who can serve the purpose of providing physical evidence that It Is 100% Possible To Be Healthy And Strong WITHOUT CONSUMING ANIMAL MEAT AND ANIMAL PRODUCE.

There are a lot of popular #plantbase #vegan #pranic athletes and bodybuilders.  All you have to do is run a search.  And just as a reminder... the US Military already publicly recognizes #veganism #plantbase nutrition (since 2019 or maybe 2018... search FORT SILL).

Though I did take these photos today, mostly because I wanted to see my own personal status.  Where am I at present.  Basically, to build better self-awareness.  And assess my personal goals.

PRIOR to taking the photos, I felt alright.  I think “how we feel” is a stronger barometer of our physical state of being.

So seeing these photos made me feel even better about how I feel, as I can see it shows me exactly how I was feeling prior to taking the photos.

Honestly...

Truth be told...

Every time I take these "progress photos"...

I surprise myself.

Yes.

I always surprise and amaze myself.

I truly believe that if you want it enough AND God wants it just as much, then by all means even God supports us through and through for us to make it happen.  And we will stay alive.  And wake up everyday to live another day.




I did mention feeling bigger and taller.  And suspected it might be mass gain.  Though I personally haven't been very conscious or concerned about all that.  I know that one of the top concerns of #pranarians is mass building or regeneration.  Specifically those who haven't been practicing since birth or childhood.

For those who have been practicing #prana #light #breatharian #rawfoodism #plantbase #vegan since birth or childhood... or even since they were in their mother's womb... are actually very healthy people.  They look just like anyone you see everyday.  And they come in all shapes and sizes.  Some of them are chubby.  Some of them are slim.  Just like anyone else.  You won't even realize they "do not eat meat" until they tell you.
 

AND BTW…


These photos were taken BEFORE my workout session.  So what you see on the photos are not the product of working on some arm exercises today.  Instead, these were PRIOR to doing my arm exercises for the day.


AND #YES…


As I did say…

Muscles look good.

Though honestly…

Truth be told…

Based on my experience…

Muscles are not the true measure of Health and Strength.

ANYONE can develop muscles.  Vegan or nonvegan.

ANYONE can lift 100kilos of rice.  And yet it doesn’t go that someone with muscles can actually lift 100kilos of rice.

Though I do believe that muscles per se have a connection to health and strength.

And if muscles serve as the best evidence that a PLANTBASE LIFESTYLE is highly possible probable plausible achievable… then may muscles serve their purpose.


Thank You for all your efforts to remain “holistically healthy”, because:

#HOLISTICHEALTHISOURFIRSTWEALTH


I think 2020 is more than enough proof that statement is truth and fact.


P.S.  These photos are also 100% NO EDITS.  I didn't brighten the photos at all, just to show that they where not enhanced in any way.  The only editing would be the addition of the text and watermark plus cropping to put them in a collage.

P.P.S.  I know there are people who have never even tried drinking and smoking.  And those who also never tried drugs at all.  And I think they should all be more out and loud and public about it.  I know a lot of them remain quiet only because of their friends or coworkers... and they want to avoid debates/conflict.

I personally believe vices and addictions are choices.  What you do with your life and money is your choice.

And it is my choice to be out and loud and public so that people (whether children... teenagers... or adults) would know They Have A Choice 👉including the choice to say #NOtodrugs and #YEStoHolisticWellbeing.

My Green #VenTea [Factoids About Drinking Warm/Lukewarm]

#Green #VenTea for a change.

I have been drinking more plain water recently.  For about three or four years, I have been drinking mostly room temperature/lukewarm water.  Not cooled in the fridge AND without ice.

I was able to cut down drinking cold drinks.  For about two years now.  I sometimes buy a cold drink, probably once a month or once every three months.  And usually because the day might be pretty hot.

It is something I learned from my sister and father, who were in Japan back then.  The Japanese (at least where they were) encourage drinking room temperature water, instead of iced/cold water.

Two of the vital health benefits are:

☕  It supports metabolism.
☕  It minimizes/eliminates congestions/accumulations in the body.

PRIOR to learning this from them, I was hearing a lot on radio and TV that it is better to drink warm or lukewarm drinks during/after meals.  This avoids accumulations of foods in the body, especially of ingredients like processed oil.

BTW...

Speaking of processed oils...

A lot of #WFPBNO people attest that they effectively lost more weight, when they supplemented their exercise routine and whole food plantbase diet WITH REMOVING PROCESSED OIL.

They said that they were only able to decrease their size and weight to a certain level... through exercise and intermittent fasting.

They were only able to effectively lose stubborn weight and fat when they finally decided to eliminate all processed oils from their diet.

WFPBNO means Whole Food Plantbase NO OIL.

The Tree [Balance Is Something You Create]

A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray... poems are made by poets like me, yet to this day only God can make a tree.


🌳Vriksasana🌴

#वृक्षासन = #Vriksasana = #TreePose

I like to imagine myself as the tree described in Kilmer's poem, and recite it as I stand in this beautiful asana.

I love its simplicity... and yet how powerful the energy is in it.

According to one of my references, there are only a couple of yoga asanas from the medieval times that remain popular in these modern times.

I could imagine that The Tree must be so strong as to be one of the asanas that has withstood the test of time.

Be gentle as a lotus.

Be strong as a tree.


Staying Strong to Strongest as a tree.  Staying Safe.  Staying Healthy.  Staying Blessed.

🦅#Garudasana + #PadmaMudra🌸
Standing sequence practice for #balance #focus #coordination #legpower

Actually...

The truth is...

There "was" a sudden outage.

And I decided to "rave" about it on social media, because FB is the official place where we get to broadcast and commune to the cosmos.

And because we have to be out and loud about our petitions...

I decided to put together an entire garudasana + padma mudra sequence.

It is a fact and truth that camera magnifies everything.  Though it is also said "the lens" can be more accurate in projecting physical reality.

I can believe that just watching this.

I can see my mood is so apparent and discernible here.

Well..

In the first place...

I wasn't trying to hide it.

As I was recording this, I could feel my legs screaming the truth inside me.  And yet I decided to proceed and see if I could actually hold the asana and execute the sequence.  I have several reasons for continuing this balance practice "in spite the inability to hide my true sentiments".

At the top is...

The last couple of times I was out to take some photos of my asana practice...

I realized that the natural environment is so different from the comfort of the home or studio.  Of course I expected that.  Though actual experience always gives a better analysis than just thinking about it in your mind.

There are many curves and elevations here and there.

You cannot alter the natural state, though you can try looking for a more conducive space and ground... which isn't always gonna yield a positive solution.  Mostly because the natural environment is the way it is... unless you start bringing in hammers and nails and cement... and build a space exactly as you want it to remain unperturbed during your asana practice.

Though I like the idea of the comfort of a space built to my liking...

I also believe yoga is something you are suppose to be able to do out in the world... with the world.  And to be able to do that, you have to be so okay and so alright with the condition you find it in.

You don't ask the sea not to get you all drenched when you decide to take yoga photos at the beach.  You play with the sand and sea.

You don't ask the leaves not to cover your face when you decide to hug a tree while doing a padangusthasana with it.  You smile and thank it.

So...

I decided...

Dark or light...

Happy or otherwise...

Shaking legs or stable legs...

I AM DETERMINED TO EXECUTE THIS ASANA.

I think even the cosmos noticed and heard... it granted my request before I could even finish.😍

Well...

Truth be told...

I did have to send out a PM and SMS prior.  And maybe because being a #ProudIlocana gives me the privilege to be "stinjē"... I was reluctant about the SMS, though I figured it would push for my intention to be granted.

#ThankYouGod for answering my prayers Now and Always.

#ThankYou to the very responsive team.

#ThankYou to myself for doing this... it is always worth growing and building more self-awareness.

The lights came back quicker than ⚡Flash⚡ and thunderbolts.

Another happy ending.

#YES New chapter... let's begin like this day just begun.

tHEART of Standing

#tHEARTofStanding

I keep talking about how I previously had an aversion for yoga.  And that was like for many many years.  Though I did overcome it, when I realized that yogis/gurus actually look like all other everyday people.  You could be standing beside one in the middle of rush hour, and you wouldn’t even know unless you strike up a conversation and ask.

Though I did re-include the padmasana in my daily meditation, circa 2016.  It was an on and off thing for me, because I believe meditation comes in many forms.  You can sit comfortably in a hammock, overlooking a nice white sandy beach… and that can be meditation.

I tried to resume my practice in Tai Chi Chuan… that’s a long story, I’ll talk about some other time.

Basically, I winded up revisiting some yoga asanas I learned throughout the years.  And now that I look back, I realize most of them were actually standing asanas.

Why does that matter.

Most people like to sit when yoga-ing.  Or start out in sitting position.  And I always found that strange.  It always looked and felt weird whenever I see a teacher or class sitting while yoga-ing… even if I am familiar with how most Hatha/Restorative (and other relaxing yoga styles) classes are that way.

I think it was because I never sat in Tai Chi class.  We always started standing.  And never sit.

That probably had an influence in my self practice.

And I personally prefer standing over sitting.




Standing is more than just standing, when you are talking about standing in taichichuan, yoga, or kung fu… or any martial arts.

And if you ever attended military events, you would have noticed how soldiers/cadets stand for long periods of time.

The ability to stand for hours and remain composed is a remarkable skill… probably more significant than flipping yourself over in so many ways.

I mean… come on…

Hand stands and inversions are awesome.  Though if you can’t even stand properly on your two feet… which is the basic way we humans move around in this physical environment… what’s the whole point of impressing people with turning upside down in so many ways.




So today…

I wanna share with you:  Standing.


When we stand like this, we aren’t supposed to be just standing.

Instead, it is an opportunity… a moment… to pay attention to your body.

This is probably the one best way to build more self-awareness, and understand what is going on with your body.

Personally, standing this way as shown on the video reveals to me more about my self, compared to sitting in meditation, being in bed, or doing all sorts of yoga stints.


For instance…

I shared about dropbacks around April this year.  Though honestly, it was only last week that I started actually practicing it daily.  I skipped maybe three days.  Though I have been intending to do it daily.

Moreover…

I probably stopped doing the urdhva for about three months.  I’ve only tried probably twice.  And I noticed my body was being “uncooperative”.  Like a child throwing tantrums.  And when I would pause and relax from trying… I would remember “dropbacks” and “backups”.

Though “starting” my practice with dropbacks actually only finally “flowed” for me last week.

I already had my personal thoughts as to “why” that happened.  “Why” my body was “uncooperative”.  And "why" practicing dropbacks was sort of postponed… though in truth, it happened in the right appropriate time.


AND BY SIMPLY TAKING A MOMENT TO STAND…

And pay attention to my body more attentively…

I was able to see more behind my thoughts on the matter.

 


So standing…

ONE:  The best way to start is to simply stand as you normally would.  Don’t try to put too much thought into it.  There’s no point trying to do it the way a guru or kung fu master would do it.

It would be nice if you have full-length mirrors.  Though I personally prefer taking photos or videos.

That way, I can review the photos and videos AFTER and analyze them. 

That way, I also remain focused in my practice… and I don’t have to get distracted by glancing at a mirror.  This also allows me to focus more on paying attention “inward” than at looking at myself in a mirror.

TWO:  Draw your attention inward.  In your physical body.  And scan your body from head to toes.

This is not about “visualizing” something or anything.

Literally pull your attention to your body.  Remain “detached”.  And simply observe.  Move from one body part to another.  Observe without any attachment or judgement.  Take note of your observations... without any attachment or judgement.


The goal is to keep your awareness and attention to your physical body.  Instead of trying to imagine and visualize something or anything.


That is all you have to do to get started.


You can do the hand sequence as shown on the video as well.  If you do so, ensure that you sustain the awareness.  Continue to observe as you move your arms and hands.

 


IF you are new to this kind of exercise, you can start by sitting on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.  DO NOT SIT ON YOUR BED.  Use a chair.  Keep your feet flat on the floor.  Keep your spine straight, even if you have to lean on the chair… IF you have to.

However, practice with the chair only until you can stand for longer periods of time.

It has to be comfortable.
 

You do not have to do this exercise for long hours.  Even a couple of minutes will suffice.


The point is to deepen and build more self-awareness… and not “pushing yourself to stand for hours”.


Standing for hours might happen for you.  Though it is more important to gain “self-awareness”… than merely standing without actually knowing or accomplishing the purpose of standing.


I also personally consider STANDING as a better position to properly ground yourself, compared to being in bed or sitting.

100% Clean And Sober

100% #ThankFULL
THANK YOU, GOD
Thank You For Good Health

The words “clean” and “sober” are expressions that mean to say that you are not “intoxicated in any manner or form” and/or you are not “a user or dependent of intoxicating substances”.

Saying “I’m clean” is a statement said that means:

1.  If the cops searched you and your belongings… they would not find anything because you are “free and clean of intoxicating substance”.

2.  If you undergo a drug/intoxication test… they would not find anything because you are “free and clean of intoxicating substance”.

Though saying “I’m clean” doesn’t always involve liquor per se.

Saying “I’m sober” is a bit more casual.  And is usually more about liquor.  Though it can also involve any kind of intoxicating substances, including drugs.




WHY am I being out and loud and public about it.

Does it have anything to do with people I know whom I care about.

Well…

To be honest…

I recognize people’s life choices.  I see from the perspective that "we are all having a journey".  So I have learned to respect people’s choices, whether or not I personally know them.  Recognizing people's individual journeys and choices is not the same as agreeing or tolerating.  THOUGH I will always tell them I will always caution against it… even if I will leave you to your choice.

And even if we are close... but you are already in your 30's or 40's or more...
I'll probably never say a word... though if you are someone truly close to me I'd personally tell you frankly:  You already know what drugs are, and you already know you are making a choice and that it is your life.  I trust that you know exactly what you are doing.  Period.

If you're not my child... if I'm not married to you... if I don't live with you for that matter... your life and choices are yours.




Instead...

Truth be told…

At the top of my reasons for being out and loud and public about "Being Clean And Sober" would be something I saw on TV, back in 2008.  I was staying with my aunt in the US, and I sometimes watch the news with her to keep her company.  I didn’t want to offend her by saying I don’t actually watch a lot of news or TV… especially that it was quite obvious she might not understand why.

One day…

What I saw on the news was…

A full recording of two young parents who were very very very very high.  They were so high that they were recording on video how they were smoking pot/weed AND made their INFANT CHILD smoke it, too.  And they were literally laughing in a happy way… not in a “laughing joking about it way”.  They were actually happy about the whole thing.

And the INFANT CHILD was obviously just a months old… not even talking or walking.  It couldn't even sit itself up straight on the sofa yet.  It didn’t have a choice at all, because it can’t even move itself in such a way as to be able to shove “the thing away”.

The INFANT CHILD had no choice but to smoke whatever they were making it smoke… the same way it would have drank milk if they placed a bottle to its mouth.

The video recording made it to the news, because the parents were so high that the video made its way around.

Would you shove weed to your own infant child or newborn.

Would you stuff your own infant child with drugs and liquor, before it can even talk or crawl or walk.




What is wrong with drugs anyway.

Regardless of the effects to one’s health, to me… it’s the “substance dependence” that matters.

To me… it’s just like being dependent/addicted to liquor or smoking.

The choice to be dependent is yours.

The same way that the choice to “not be dependent” is a choice.

The same way that the choice to empower yourself is a choice.




The temptation and weakness you overcome are power and strength and freedom and sovereignty you gain.  #awareness #consumerawareness

These days...

It should be quite apparent...

And something we should all know by now...

That #SelfEmpowerment is not something handed down to you like a shirt you simply wear.

Self-empowerment is something you do for yourself.  And people merely support you in the process of making that choice for yourself.




At a personal level…

Quitting liquor gives me that “power of choice” to do something else with my time, my health, my body, my life…….. instead of drinking.

Truth be told...

Even if it was a personal choice to quit liquor...

It was a great motivation when I later discovered that many successful business owners are actually very clean&sober AND even advocate and ecourage people to be the same.  They have been public about how they actually value their health... and live lifestyles very different from what is usually portrayed in TV and movies.

Knowing that so many successful people are actually #CLEANandSOBER served as an affirmation and verification that I am on the right track.




When children (and teenagers and adults) are not dependent on drugs and other intoxicating substances for that matter…

1.  They can live healthier lives.

2.  They can live more empowering lives.

3.  They can do much more better things with their time, health, body, lives.

4.  They can have healthier more empowering aspirations in life for themselves and for others.




If you did the math...

Money and time "spent" on drugs and other intoxicating substances can be money and time "invested" on:

1.  Your grandest dream vacation
2.  Your grandest dream house
3.  Your grandest dream car
4.  Your grandest dream life for yourself and family/love ones

And even if you don't care much about any of the above...

The money and time "spent" on drugs and other intoxicating substances can be money and time "invested" on WHATEVER it is you desire and aspire for the most.

Bits From My #BirthMonth Celebration [Part One]

My family always celebrated birthdays at least a week... an entire month the most.

Last year, I decided to officially celebrate an entire year for my birthday.

"OFFICIALLY" because it is actually something I have been contemplating on for a couple of years... as part of my personal understanding to human incarnation and what birthdays are.

#AshtangaHotMomma: My Most Recent Asana Baby

My New Asana Baby's
Name: 90° Stretch

Starting off the week with a Monday... I got up and decided it's a good time for some good deep instense stretching.

So I decided to play around and see where pushing and stretching beyond my limits would take me this morning.

To me... apart from a literal physical body "decluttering"... stretches are also about literally creating expansion... creating space... in our bodies and our lives.

It so happens that First Quarter La Luna arrives in Fixed Water Scorpio at 12:12 PHT/GMT8.

A first quarter moon always squares the sun, 90° of Solaris.

No wonder I decided to play around with parallels and alignments today.  I find this stretch very linear and angular and yet quite dynamic.  I was doing my best to quite literally maintain a 90° angle everywhere possible.😍

A perfect combination with Scorpio as ruler of the 8th House, which is all about birth, death, creation, transformation, renewal... transcendence.  And also of how our finances and resources "mix"... "collaborate"... "cocreate"... with others.

This Fixed Water is all about the deep dark unknown depths and intensity.

A good time to dig deep into the dark and shadowy and shady.

A good time for some intense breaking free and outpour.

A good time for recreation, reinvention, transformation... and... one of my favorite words... "transcendence".

A good time for those deep intense stretching.

Twice Born Heaven

Twice Born Heaven

Inspired by yesterday's Waxing Crescent Libra Moon in the sky... there was more than one reason I thought the Svarga would be perfect for keeping my balance in check.

#SvargaDvijasana This is the "unrevolved" version.  This asana is also called Bird Of Paradise in English.  Though according to references, Svarga Dvijasana translates as Twice Born Heaven or Heavenly World.

The form of the asana itself is compared to the flower Bird Of Paradise... which is how it got its popular english name.

Libra is best known for the Justice symbol.  Though what is less talked about is that it is also a sign that loves beauty, which has to do with its ruling planet Venus.  Libra seeks and takes pleasure in beauty, beautification... and what nourishes it with the feelings of beauty... whether physical/literal or figurative.  Think of experiencing some kinda heaven.

And one of the aims of doing the asana Svarga Djisana is to attain both inner and outer balance for the purpose of experiencing a sense of spiritual rejuvenation and renewal... externally and internally.

I consider Svarga as one of the best asanas that expresses the ultimate goal of yoga: bringing a sense of peace, serenity, union in being a physical incarnate who is also multidimensional... experiencing both the physical and spiritual.  Holding the pose is a "representation" of that experience of holistic union within and without.

💕Being at peace with yourself as both a physical and spiritual being.

Still Counting The Many Ways I Can Reach My Toes

#AstangaHotMomma

Ab Updates #LightPower #PlantStronger

#lightpower #plantstronger

So I completed almost or probably an average of 100 days of intermittent nonfooding (starting from February and ending in May).

And though I lost "fat" and remaining "chubby-ness" from the past...

I actually have been gaining mass.

I also got some upgrades (check out the photo above... think chaturanga... and improving my push-ups and other core routines).  Which all contributed to ab definition.  The "six-pack" project is still a curiosity for me... though I'm not obsessing over it.  I'm surprised though with what's been going on... as I do know many people around the world have gained flabs instead of abs for yoga-ing... that they are quite surprised I AM actually gaining ab definition for yoga-ing.

Until next time...

I gotta hit the mat... I'm excited to check out my lifts and balances.

Thank You
God Bless Always

Abs Fixation👉👉More About Abs

Situation:  I previously lost weight... is that "qualified as cutting"... because "abs" didn't come out after.  I wasn't trying to get abs though.  But I did gain weight after.  I do advance yoga.  But I never get "abs".

Answer:  Generally speaking... I'd say that "abs" never came out, because "abs" were obviously not part of your goal in the first place (based on your narration).

Doing advanced yoga doesn't qualify as a reason to instantly get abs.  It's easy to grow some mass-cles with yoga, depending on which type of yoga you are doing... but it is not necessarily so.  I've seen advanced teachers and a lot of them are actually chubby (not fat, just chubby) and not even "toned".  And the ones I know who actually have huge bulky muscles and abs grew their muscles and abs through gym-ing and/or other physical recreations/sports.

#Planks (if done alone) won't just make abs pop out.  It can tone your core.  But it is not enough to make #killerabs pop out.  Unless you probably do planks for an hour everyday.......👀

Also, you have to consider other details, such as your body type (and other key factors).  If you are doing advanced yoga... you are supposed know this.  You have to inspect the details that would allow you to achieve your goal of developing abs.

☝Or work with a fitness trainer who can guide you through your goal.

🌏And it is ideal to choose a vegan trainer, if you are already transitioning into #veganism #plantbase #wfpb.

It usually doesn't matter that much👉UNLESS the fitness program includes meal recommendations/menus.  Some fitness trainers/programs includes a daily/weekly/monthly meal plan, which you have to stick to.

Sometimes, a trainer/program doesn't include a meal plan.  HOWEVER, they tend to base "metrics" on a "nonvegan diet".  One of the disadvantages:  IF you aren't meeting your goals, your trainer might ding you for your vegan nutrition.

So #vegans #plantbased people often prefer to find a #veganfitnesstrainer, IF they can find one in their area.

Good luck!  I wish and envision for you much success in making those abs pop out!
