Vipassana Meditation Philippines

Next 10-day course is on April 1-12, 2009. Click here for the Vipassana Philippines webpage and here to apply for the 10-day course.

"Sleeping late, practicing late, no pranayama, all asanas." This is how I'd describe my days in the last 2 weeks.

Practice was good this morning although I could feel the stiffness of the body. I wonder if my daily morning coffee is making the muscle tremble in the state of asana.

Most probably.

But I just bought my first Monk's Blend coffee yesterday and man it's one of the best I've had. The last pack that I bought was the Batangas Blend and although it was also good, I believe I've found my local blend.

Not sattvic, I know. But what to do? Guruji used to say (or so I heard), "have coffee before practice... gives you courage." Especially during dropbacks and kapotasana.

As always, moderation is the key.

My new year's mantra, "support local products... tatak Pinoy, tatak Pilipino!" :-p
