Natural living = happy living. Fruits in abundance, vegetables behind the house and an ocean full of seafood ... that is history. The happy past of all island habitants has been replaced by the destructive part of business world. Only a few hectares natural and mostly untouched tropical vegetation has survived the past 20+ years of tourist development on Boracay.]]> photo Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:45:27 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04700.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04700.jpg.html
Boracay has beautiful butterflies, humming birds and other tropical life - all need shelter and a place to live because all the modern resorts offer no longer any natural living environment for any for of life. All living space of nature now is restricted to the few small hidden jungle places like this one.]]> photo Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:44:31 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04699.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04699.jpg.html
As soon as mankind gets involved in nature - the beauty starts to diminish. One essential lesson of our life is to leave nature alone as much as possible and learn to integrate ourselves into nature rather than to impose ourselves on nature.

Nature can survive without mankind eternally - mankind will die without nature instantly - understand that difference and act or behave accordingly.]]> photo Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:43:48 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04698.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04698.jpg.html
Without such wild dense vegetation all the small animals have no more habitats. Hence if you have a corner of garden to spare - let all grow as wild as nature wants it to be to give shelter to all beautiful small wild life that belongs to our plant.]]> photo Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:43:01 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04692.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/boracay_vegetation-dsc04692.jpg.html

That's the beautiful view of a small hidden native hut - the home for an entire family amidst a piece of tropical paradise.

Once destroyed by tourism or industry, no money ever can buy or restore such natural treasures.

Shallow water and ponds are typical places to grow water lilies or nipa - the traditional material for roofing in the Philippines. In addition we find a variety of fruit trees and blossoming bushes in this evergreen place.

Pushed away by rich business men and investors - small lots in the hills is all the ones happy island population has for living.
All the beach properties now is in the hands of investors and rich ones. No more fishing, no more farming.

Boracay also is tropical - as soon as you drive away from the crowded white beach area more and more tropical nature and beautiful scenery awaits you.

Boracay has far more to offer than white beach. Many hidden beaches all beautiful, white and clean. You can take one of the sailboats to get onto a hidden beach - or by motorbike if you know how to drive.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03553.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03553.jpg.html
No trike to get there, engines too weak to get uphill and breaks to weak to get safely downhill on the dirt-road - that leaves walking, mountain bike or motorcycle as the only means to get on the high way up to the northern end of the island. No way to get lost - there is but one high way on the island from south to north.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/wallpaper_flowers_sky-dsc03379.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/wallpaper_flowers_sky-dsc03379.jpg.html

Feng Shui for such habitats at the waters edge of course is excellent. That's the reason why so many people all around the world love to live next to creeks, ponds, rivers, lakes or ocean.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03372.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03372.jpg.html
In some countries - such as central Europe, Switzerland, Germany and Austria - villages built on the water or at the water's edge have been well known since many thousands of years.
All of those ancient villages on the water or at the water's edge had one in common - they all dumped all their daily waste and trash into the water
During my active SCUBA diving instructor time I often took some time off for treasure hunting or artifact collecting. Civilizations living on the water always dumped all into the water. Today as well. In ancient time all household goods were made of natural material, hence all trash into a lake was made of natural material and thus bio-degradable.
Trash of ancient times turns into treasures for today's artifact collectors.
Trash of modern times however turns into a death penalty for today's nature as most of our household goods are made of NON-biodegradable materials or even worst of straight forward toxic component, fatal for our environment as well as for mankind.
Self discipline is the key to keeping our environment alive for the remainder of time. Self discipline also includes to refrain from shopping goods or cleaning agents of known dangerous or toxic nature.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03368.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03368.jpg.html
Small lakes like the Boracay fresh water lake depend on healthy clean environment. There is no flow through of water - hence all lake cleaning has to be done by natural UW fauna and flora as well as the surrounding top side vegetation.
Nature can absorb and neutralize a whole bunch of toxins and waste - however there is a limit to all and hence mankind has to stay within the natural potential of nature.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03367.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/hidden_beauty_boracay_island-dsc03367.jpg.html

Cockfighting is a natinal sport for Filipinos - even here on the island we have a cock-farm. Cockfighting is a very typical sport of cowards and coawards are in abundance here. A typical joke scenario here is the SWAT team or some special toiurist police all running to shelter as soon as the first rain drops fall ...
Hence Filipino enjoy watching others doing hard jobs or fighting - like cockfighting to the death end of a cock]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/beautiful_boracay_island_scenery-dsc02657.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/beautiful_boracay_island_scenery-dsc02657.jpg.html
Happy life is when all love all - in a happy life the needs of people shrink and shrink. It is quiet safe to say that the needs in material goods is inversely proportional to the amount of love actively displayed and acting in the life of mankind.

Once a long time ago, before the arrival of businessmen and the tourists, this island was once nearly a paradise island. Now Boracay first of all is a tourist destination - a tourist destination is usually destined to be used and abused until all is gone and all business move to the next virgin destination.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800 http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/beautiful_boracay_island_scenery-dsc02643.jpg.html http://www.kriyayoga.com/photography/photo_gallery/v/boracay_island_inner_beauty/beautiful_boracay_island_scenery-dsc02643.jpg.html
Wealth of a few ones always is created at the expense of the majority - the native population, once owner of the island is now pushed into near worthless smalles areas of the island. The ridiculous bargain price they received from investors for the land is less than 0.1% of the real worth now.]]> photo Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:44:46 +0800
