Actual Human Interaction Might Make Sense At Some Point... Just Sayin'.

Kundalini Woman

This radiant earth being just taught the most fun yoga class I've had in several years, and believe me, I've had some fun fucking yoga classes in my lifetime. She may have the happiest energy I've ever felt in another radiant earth being.

We were doing nonstop crazy Kundalini breathing shit, and I could not stop smiling even though it was killing me.

I am high still, my sushumna nadi is f-cking alive again! Ridiculous.

Here is a little treat for you: the definition of sushumna straight out of mutha-f-ing wikipedia. You're welcome.

Sushumna (alternatively known as Susumna) Nadi connects the base chakra to the crown chakra. It is very important in Yoga and Tantra in general. Alternative medicine also refers to Sushumna sometimes. In Raja Yoga or Yoga of Patanjali, when the mind is quietened through Yama, Niyama, Asana and Pranayama the important state of Pratyahara begins. A person entering this state never complains of Dispersion of Mind. This is characterised by observing the movements/jerks in Sushumna, the central canal in the subtle body. The movements indicate the flow of Prana through the central canal and in the process, the sushumna makes the way for the ascent of Kundalini.

Pratyhara, Kundalini Woman, I love you!!

Feel good, feel alive, Sat Nam.

India. Hot.

This blog got its legs when it went from an options trading blog that no one read to an India travelogue that my mother read. The several months I was blessed to spend in the Mother Country still defines and propels me as it does many of my LA yoga brothers and sisters.

So I am super excited to be at the center of India and big media this weekend at The LA Indian Film Festival Shanti Vortex.

"Shanti Vortex" I added. When you Google it, feel free to subtract/add Shanti Vortex.

As I've written, India sucks.

And India is the greatest place you can be.

India is so fucking hard. India is the sweetest place on earth. India, you want to leave as soon as you arrive in Mumbai/ Delhi after your 24 hour flight. India is all you talk about when you're home.

The poverty disgusts you. The happiness makes you question your materialism. You question it still two years later...

They say in the West we are always looking at the guy ahead of us saying why can't I have that? In India the guy in the gutter sees the other guy further downstream and says thank you, thank you, thank you I'm not that guy.

The Indian economy is ripping. The India meme is full on. See Julia in Eat, Pray, Love this Summer. See Bollywood. See what comes after that...

See Oscar.

I wish you all a shanti weekend. If in LA, come see this movie with me.

And enjoy the vid.

Media Here or There

Hello radiant earth beings. Namaste from planet Venice Beach.

Here is what is happening here and there. We are going inside, we are doing the vignettes as promised. Change comes inside out, so we start here and it gets out there. This is also my process, I thank you for letting me articulate and DO it here for you.

The vid here is being cut off on the right, so noted. The response here and on facebook has been kind so we will continue posting it here and there but obv they have a better platform for viewing it.

With that a few things to pay attention to:

1) Social Media/ Marketing is booming: no brainer: have something going on in this space to promote your personal brand. Facebook will continue to be one of the most important tools/ phenomena for the coming decade. However, not widely known: Be different and avoid over-selling/ over-exposure there or here. We don't wanna hear from you 10 times a day: why FB trumps Twitter.

2) The elite banking system which I've railed against for the past few years is starting to finally unravel with the Goldman Sachs Cuomo case. Thanks to Matt Taibbi, Gretchen Morgenson, Louise Story, Mike Lewis and most importantly to all the bloggers out there who kept at it, such that the zeitgest moved and pop media had to cover it.

Truth telling works. I have no illusions that Fab Fabrice will be the fall guy, but the truth is now widely known. IBanking is broken and kind of evil. Back to private firms, partnerships where accountability trumped under bus throwing.

3) The US is coming back. We will undoubtedly default; outright or via money printing, most likely the latter, but asset prices will rise, companies are crushing it like AAPL, and the Google move out of China, best move of all time, that stock goes much higher. Facebook, Twitter IPOs will push Tech higher. Our strategic default has already led to asset price inflation across the board. Where's the inflation? Right there, genius. Asset holders and wealth creators will prosper, middle class, poor will suffer per usual. But a growing economy will lift most boats.

4) Obama will have a major geopolitical crisis to deal with, and like the financial crisis, he may look like an idiot at first, and then be vindicated, he has proven way craftier that I gave him credit for (Cuomo is his guy). He will go down as an all time great and I will eat a lot of my recent words about him, but my vote for him will also be vindicated.

The invisible hand in the market is his. When he said buy stocks last March, he meant it, markets go higher until he says otherwise. Fat Tony (see Taleb) knows this.

5) The higher consciousness business is booming, be it yoga, holistic health, conscious media, clean energy or higher social utility media, you need to be in the space as a provider, shareholder or customer or all three.

6) Alternative banking is booming. Step in, be the bank, plenty of great projects to fund, traditional bankers sitting on their fat hands.

7) Hollywood is booming. Make a movie, bypass the studio (studios are like IBanks).

8) That's it. Enjoy the vid.
