Anger and Liver Flushing

I am on the 4th day of juice fasting and tonight I will drink the liver flush concoction (translation, olive oil and grapefruit juice) and expect a lot (and I mean lots) of gallbladder stones to come out tomorrow morning.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver is connected to the emotion anger.  So a liver cleanse could naturally translate to cleaning up deep-seated anger.

Many times I’d been told, mostly by romantic partners but never by friends, that I am an angry person.  This is quite unusual for a yogini, healthy, environment-loving person that I am.  But yes, I do know that there is that anger in me that needs to be acknowledged, loved, and released.

Baby in the tummy

October 16, 2014 No comments Article

I’d been teaching Prenatal yoga since August 14 and I know this is something I want to go on doing.  I first tried prenatal yoga during the Sivananda Yoga Teacher’s Training Course in India and I instantly said, this is something I want to teach.

I’ve never been a mother and I wouldn’t know exactly how a pregnant woman feels apart from stories from friends.  But the thought of relaxing through breath work and yoga poses with a baby in your tummy appeals to me.  So much more sharing and teaching it to a group of pregnant women.

My 1st raw food bazaar

October 13, 2014 No comments Article

It’s already way past midyear and still a lot of first time events happening in my life.  Most recent… the 1st Quezon City Food Festival where I joined to sell my raw food goodies.

Raw goodies!

Raw goodies!

I just wanted to give it a try.  See if it something I want to do in the coming months and it was a success!  It was tiring, of course.  My niece and I were at Maginhawa Street at 5:30 in the morning setting-up the tables and boards.
