Lunar Crystals

The moon represents emotion and powerful instincts, patterns, ancestral and karmic inheritances. For all moon signs it is recommended to meditate with a bloodstone at the full moon to uncover hidden unfulfilled desires that are controlling your life.

It is possible to reprogram patterns of behavior and facilitate healthy sources of nurturing.

Yoga

Abdominal lift

  • Promotes peristaltic action relieving and preventing constipation
  • Reduces flabbiness in the waist, maintains resilience of the abdominal muscles, prevents abdomen from dropping

  1. Exhale air from lungs. No air is to enter while the abdominal movement is being performed.
  2. Place hands high on the thighs with finger of both hands pointing inward, knees are bent and body is in a slight squatting position.
  3. Exhale all air from your lungs and hold it out and suck the abdomen inwards and upwards as if going through a deep breath.
  4. Hold the lift for three seconds and attempt to snap the abdomen out using the abdominal muscles.
  5. Repeat this movement without allowing the air to enter your lungs. Do 3 of these lifts with each exhalation.
  6. When the movements are completed stand upright and breathe easily for a few moments. Go back into squatting movements and repeat. Do 15 movements in all (five sets of three). Add 1 movement each week, until reaching 5 movements during each exhalation. Do this 5 times, performing 25 movements in all.

Poetry

Sylvia Plath
http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/famous/plath/sylvia.html

Poppies in October

Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts.
Nor the woman in the ambulance
Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly --

A gift, a love gift
Utterly unasked for
By a sky

Palely and flamily
Igniting its carbon monoxides, by eyes
Dulled to a halt under bowlers.

O my God, what am I
That these late mouths should cry open
In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers.

by Sylvia Plath

Aretha Franklin

Natural Woman Aretha Franklin

Lookin' out on the mornin' rain I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Oh it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
And I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Oh till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
Of what I'm livin' for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

chorus

Oh baby what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
Because you make me feel so alive
You make me feel (X3)
Like a natural woman
