And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
And cups o’erflow with wine;
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love,
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
Much speech hath some defence,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten tedious nights.
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late
Have a happy and blessed 2012.

Using Crystals and Yoga Meditation to Detox Stress http://chakrayoga.suite101.com/article.cfm/using-crystals-and-yoga-meditation-to-heal-and-detox-stress 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.
Emotional or mental soother
Sit holding an appropriate crystal to the chakra connected to the problem while concentrating or breathing deeply and evenly. Picture the troublesome emotion or mental problem flowing into the earth beneath your feet and being replaced by soothing energy from the crystal.
Crystal Prescriptions, Judy Hall
Red or black crystals are associated with the root chakra which represents physical health, safety and security. A reading can be taken with a pendulum to see where blockages are occurring.

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."

Reclining Bound Angle Pose
Supta Baddha Konasana
SOUP-tah BAH-dah cone-NAHS-anna) supta = lying down, reclining baddha = bound kona = angle
- Perform Baddha Konasana. Exhale and lower your back torso toward the floor, first leaning on your hands. Once you are leaning back on your forearms, use your hands to spread the back of your pelvis and release your lower back and upper buttocks through your tailbone. Bring your torso all the way to the floor, supporting your head and neck on a blanket roll or bolster if needed.
- With your hands grip your topmost thighs and rotate your inner thighs externally, pressing your outer thighs away from the sides of your torso. Next slide your hands along your outer thighs from the hips toward the knees and widen your outer knees away from your hips. Then slide your hands down along your inner thighs, from the knees to the groins. Imagine that your inner groins are sinking into your pelvis. Push your hip points together, so that while the back pelvis widens, the front pelvis narrows. Lay your arms on the floor, angled at about 45 degrees from the sides of your torso, palms up.
- The natural tendency in this pose is to push the knees toward the floor in the belief that this will increase the stretch of the inner thighs and groins. But especially if your groins are tight, pushing the knees down will have just the opposite of the intended effect: The groins will harden, as will your belly and lower back. Instead, imagine that your knees are floating up toward the ceiling and continue settling your groins deep into your pelvis. As your groins drop toward the floor, so will your knees.
- To start, stay in this pose for one minute. Gradually extend your stay anywhere from five to 10 minutes. To come out, use your hands to press your thighs together, then roll over onto one side and push yourself away from the floor, head trailing the torso.

Now Winter Nights Enlarge
Thomas Campion (1617)
Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
And cups o’erflow with wine;
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love,
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
This time doth well dispense
With lovers’ long discourse;Much speech hath some defence,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten tedious nights.

Desperado
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long nowOh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow
Don’ you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s ableYou know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your tableBut you only want the ones that you can’t get
Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you homeAnd freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shineIt’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re loosin’ all your highs and lowsAin’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gateIt may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late
