This only happened to me now, and got me wondering "what's happening?" I've used the same book in a writing seminar at least 4 years ago, which was held in the apartment of a good friend whom I've not seen since then. And I've used the book as a tool in moving on from all these heartaches, sad moments, fears, and terrible imaginations I've faced so that I'll be able to lead the kind of life I've envisioned for myself.

Whenever I have the chance, I'll fill up pages in my morning pages, which idea comes from the book. I've told and recommended the same approach to people I know (at least, those who would have the patience to actually listen). But I noticed not too many people would have the courage, the discipline, and the focus to write down entries in a 'Morning Pages' notebook. People have a lot of reasons to keep them away from facing what is essentially themselves, deep within and shown full frontal in an image just like looking at oneself more closely before a life size mirror but completely naked. And I recall one of the participants in our writing seminar who would write down his entries using the computer---technology bridges gaps, but we're never sure if in this case it works as well. I think it's still good to experience one's hand doing the actual writing, sliding up and down the lines of the page, going all over the space on the page, and completing an actual representation of one's thoughts as one writes down on an actual paper...

And I wish the best for the end-users of this book, too! Julia Cameron's book is actually a practical moving-on tool, especially if you like writing. She distills and shares there her insights from her experiences.

Of Penis Rings, Nude Yoga, and the Ancient Sexual Custom of Palang in Pre-Hispanic Cebu

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica. I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
