I don’t think there is such a thing as raw coconut oil.

> try 9 bottle breathing. It is very short and simple yet everyone hates doing it. Literally, everyone. But it is well worth it.
Good sell, Max. 🙂 I always did hate this 9 bottle breathing practice but when you put it this way I will give it another try. What should I look forward to, watch out for, etc.?
Thanks,
Sean. -

Karen, if you write me at somlorNOSPAM@gmail.com (remove the NOSPAM part) I can lend you my “Be Breathed” video if you are interested. Actually, there is another video that might even be better for you I can lend you that starts off even gentler and integrates the exact concepts in “Be Breathed” with a yoga set called “The Five Tibetans”. I can…[Read more]

I second Max’s recommendations for endogenous breathing. Here is another overview of this style of breathing’s purpose and benefits.
Regarding how this reconciles with natural breathing. IMO, the whole purpose of doing work or anything difficult is to remove artifically created obstacles in place that are preventing/constricting your…[Read more]

“Scientific Stretching” book and tape by Kurz and/or “Relax into Stretch” book/dvd and “Forced Relaxation” dvd by Pavel will all point you in the right direction if you want to get into a full side split in less than 3 years.
Side split is one of my three primary physical goals right now and I’ve been doing a ton of research. I’m no where near…[Read more]

Hmmm… I think because some things will always be out of your control.
This is a morbid example, but, for example, imagine a Zen master being severely beaten with a stick all the while remaining “in zen”. It’s possible right? But his body feels the pain fully and the hardwired survival mechanisms are also likely causing thoughts to arise of…[Read more]

Plato wrote> “Release” begins the moment you realize that what you are holding onto is fundamentally devoid of meaning–empty.”
I think release can also occur through realizing that, fundamentally, both grasping and resisting are futile.
Hmmmm…
