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.

Immune stimulator

Place Bloodstone over the thymus (higher heart chakra) and leave in place for 20-30 minutes. Use other immune system crystals to enhance this placement such as Lapis Lazuli, Blue Agate, Carnalian, Ruby in Zoisite, Turquoise or Ametrine.

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

I Want It So Bad Meditation

Dhyana

Bring your desire fully into awareness. Notice the words associated with it.

Pay special attention to the emotional quality of the desire and the thoughts you have about it. Notice the emotional state it induces. Are you excited, uncomfortable, nervous, anxious, elated?

Once you've identified the desire and how it makes you feel, ask yourself the following helpful questions:

• How does this desire fit in with my greater priorities?
• Is it beneficial to other people as well as to myself?
• Will following this impulse hurt me or others?
• What will I have to give up if I follow this desire?
• Does it take me closer to my higher Self, or will it create more barriers between my soul and myself?
• What will I have to give up if I don't follow it?
• What do I really want by getting what I want?

After you've figured out what you really want, voice it. Articulate it. Make it real. Even if it's something vague, like "to be happy," you can still make it an intention. You might say, "My intention is to experience happiness in an intimate relationship." Or, "My intention is to experience happiness at work." Or, "My intention is to be happy no matter what is going on in my life."

Auld Lang Syne

by Robert Burns

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,

Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

And there's a hand, my trusty fere!

And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

Chorus

"Waiting For Tonight"

Like a movie scene

In the sweetest dreams
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips
On my fingertips
I have to say is even better
Then I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness
The tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life

[CHORUS:]

Waiting for tonight, oh

When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Tender words you say

Take my breath away
Love me now, leave me never
Found a sacred place
Lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

[CHORUS 2x]

Gone are the days when the sun used to set

On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

[CHORUS] x 3
