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.

Petrified Wood

Makes stable and firmly rooted. Stimulates digestion and metabolism. Fortifies the nerves and helps with overweight caused by “inadequate earthing.”

Yoga


The two forces of mind and prana maintain the rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving. Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Namaste means "the divinity within me salutes the divinity within you."


Yoga


Lord of the Dance Pose

Natarajasana

(not-ah-raj-AHS-anna)

nata = actor, dancer, mime

raja = king

Anatomical Focus: Thighs, Knees, Ankles, Abdomen, Pelvis, Groins, Chest, Shoulders, Spine, Kidneys, Lungs

Benefits: Stretches the shoulders and chest, Stretches the thighs, groins, and abdomen, Strengthens the legs and ankles,Improves balance

Contraindications and Cautions: Low blood pressure
  1. Stand in Tadasana (Mountain Pose). Inhale, shift your weight onto your right foot, and lift your left heel toward your left buttock as you bend the knee. Press the head of your right thigh bone back, deep into the hip joint, and pull the knee cap up to keep the standing leg straight and strong.
  2. There are two variations you might try here with your arms and hands. In either case, try to keep your torso relatively upright. The first is to reach back with your left hand and grasp the outside of your left foot or ankle. To avoid compression in your lower back, actively lift your pubis toward your navel, and at the same time, press your tailbone toward the floor.
  3. Begin to lift your left foot up, away from the floor, and back, away from your torso. Extend the left thigh behind you and parallel to the floor. Stretch your right arm forward, in front of your torso, parallel to the floor.
  4. The second option with the hands is to sweep your right hand around behind your back and catch hold of the inner left foot. Then sweep the left hand back and grab the outside of the left foot. This variation will challenge your balance even more. Then raise the thigh as described in step 3. This second variation will increase the lift of your chest and the stretch of your shoulders.
  5. Stay in the pose for 20 to 30 seconds. Then release the grasp on the foot, place the left foot back onto the floor, and repeat for the same length of time on the other side.
Full Pose
For the full pose, perform step 1 as described above. Then turn your left arm actively outward (so the palm faces away from the side of the torso), bend the elbow, and grip the outside of the left foot. (You can also grab the big toe with the first two fingers and the thumb.) The fingers will cross the top of the foot, the thumb will press against the sole. Inhale, lift the left leg up, and bring the thigh parallel to the floor. As you do this, rotate the left shoulder in such a way that the bent elbow swings around and up, so that it points toward the ceiling. It requires extreme flexibility to externally rotate and flex the shoulder joint in this way. Reach the right arm straight forward, in front of the torso and parallel to the floor. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds, release, and repeat on the second side for the same length of time.

O Holy Night

Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine

Instrumental.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear, (whistle register) hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, (whistle register) oh, night divine

Choir

Oh, night divine (oh yes it was)
Oh, night divine
(It is the night of our saviours birth)
It was the night

Choir

Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh holy night divine

(It is the night, the night the night of our saviours birth)

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Choir

Oh , yeah
Oh night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh holy night divine

Choir

(clapping)

Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh night divine
