Haha not to worry, Chona! I'm a nerd and proud of it. ;) I'm using Open Office though, so it's all manual for me. :p Buti nalang there are style guides online!

Word 2008's reference function is a big help...though Jon and my editor said it's not quite accurate. Well, at least it ensures that everything that I used in the text is cited in the biblio...and just leave the formatting to my editor, he he. Spoiled me.

So happy to find a fellow geek, ha ha! Just kidding! Happy researching! =)

Aaaahhh...Will try those. :) Thanks, Jon!

#1 means don't "plie" too much. Or externally rotate the thigh bone from the hip socket only slightly.

#2 yes.

By "Try not to open the knees too much" do you mean don't hyper-extend the legs?

"bend only a little just to prepare to spring up" so don't bring the hips so low?

straight-legged jump through, a female friend said, is easier but I've never done it and I find it difficult. Try not to open the knees too much also because at some point, the bandha is released. One technique also is to bend only a little just to prepare to spring up.

Yes, please, Teacher Jon! :D I'd love that. Mi...

Yes, please, Teacher Jon! :D I'd love that. Miss seeing/assisting/practicing with you nga, but it's a good thing Sen assisted you yesterday 'cause I've been stuck in bed since Friday night. :( Anyway, getting better thanks to rest, vaman and ginger tea!

Glad it helped, dearest! Sigh, I only managed to do 1 item on that list though. I read Sleep, Pale Sister. It was okay but not great. Let me know what good find you get your hands on

Thanks for the support, Liz. I think I've still got a long way to go before achieving that yoga though. For one thing, I'm now craving Vegemite so I'm still affected by desires.

Hey, Mel! Nope, the bees are all gone. :) It's great here. My body and mind feel soooo good.

Hey you, no more bees buzzing? ;-)

I think the calm came when you started your TT or just about after, so I'm guessing that YT has positively impacted your state of mind.

2009-07-10T16:09:00.699+08:00

I think it's because you know that there's a higher purpose in everything we do and yoga made you become a self-realised person as well. don't worry about it not being healthy, i just think that you have suppressed those thoughts because they're not really relevant at all(hehehe). I hope i made sense. I would like to share this thought from B.G. and I hope that this can help you not to worry about what you're feeling right now. :) "A person is said to have achieved yoga, the union with the Self, when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom from all desires, and becomes absorbed in the Self alone."
