Where to begin?

Hehe.. well, I’ll tell you about the raw coconut oil. I have a gallon of it right here. I use it to make my own chocolate, and it’s become one of my staple foods. (I don’t seem to have any ill effects of chocolate in this form).

Assuming a few people might be interested at the sight of the word “chocolate” :-), here’s the idea: Pour unsweetened cocoa powder into bowl. Pour in enough virgin coconut oil until it mixes in. Pour in some raw honey to taste. Mix well, refrigerate, cut into pieces, eat.

Yes, the coconut oil has done a lot for me. it’s fabulous. I use the expeller pressed kind, which doesnt’ have a strong coconut taste, because using it so much, i get a little sick of the coconut taste.

Yoga is generally too much for me, except for some restorative poses, not the fiery ones. But thanks, and I will think about that.

I do need some real fire, not the false fire that I have so much of.

I was even considering taking up smoking natural cigarettes or medicinal herbs, for that reason! I don’t like the idea of putting any particles into my lungs, but small amounts might be fair enough. (?)

Hi Sean,

I just now saw this post–thanks, looks great and I’m trying it, so I’m at a high point of the learning curve right now :-). I’m a bit confused about when to do the relaxed reps. You said to contract back into the active exhale without pause, so I’m not sure when to do the relaxed reps.

I think I’m exhausted and just not absorbing info very well at the moment.

After one active exhale/inhale I feel the urge to do some deeper breathing before the next active exhale. I’ll try to do the “relaxed reps” instead, to avoid gasping.

Oh, one interesting thing.. when I can’t hold the breath any longer, instead of just gasping for air, I tend to continue the exhalation to the very end for another second or two before the inhale starts. That was surprising.. not sure if it means anything.
