It’s kinda sad when my first post this year is in August, but oh well. No one reads this but me anyway. Life has been it’s usual whirlwind, but at least I’m getting plenty of fresh air! My studies of Yoga and Auyerveda have been progressing nicely. As usual, I want to use my new knowledge to save the world, but I understand that it will take time to develop the experience to work with my new knowledge. Slowly, I have had more people come to me and ask me for advice. I try not to offer it where it isn’t requested because it would fall on deaf ears, and may even create an aversion to the proper means of healing, not to mention what I know at this point is very limited. But, as I am asked to face more and more, I gain more experience, and I gain confidence in the methods when I see them work. I just bought a bunch of herbs from takeherb.com to help me with my own bodily challenges, as well as those challenges others have asked me to aid them with. It was just last night, so it will be a week or so before I have them. Anyway, I’ll try to be a little more prudent about posting. If there is actually anyone listening, feel free to leave a comment and/or question. I will be much more vigilant about keeping this site updated if I know my words aren’t just flying off into the ether unheard.

I did some programming today for the first time in a while.  I spruced up yrral.net.  Now instead of the null sign, we have a nice, blue face… hooray for wz’s jsGraphics

So I’ve been reading a lot lately… mostly Dr. David Frawley on Ayuerveda and Yoga.  I highly recommend his books… Ayurvedic Healing is a great place to start if anyone is interested.

What is Ayurveda you ask?  Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India and other similar cultures.  It is a way of viewing the body and it’s processes that aids in understanding and healing the root causes of any diseases or discomforts.  It describes the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether and explains how each of them plays it’s role in the formation and functioning of our bodies.  Fire, for instance, is present in the body as digestion.  While there are no flames, acids and enzymes are used to heat up our food in order to break its chemical bonds.  I have read a lot, but I’m still very new to the subject.  I find it to be a very interesting view of the workings of the body that could prove to be quite a powerful contribution to modern medicine.
