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

Crane Pose
Bakasana
(bahk-AHS-anna)
baka = crane
baka = crane
Squat down from Tadasana with your inner feet
a few inches apart. If it isn't possible to keep your heels on the floor,
support them on a thickly folded blanket. Separate your knees wider than your
hips and lean the torso forward, between the inner thighs. Stretch your arms
forward, then bend your elbows, place your hands on the floor and the backs of
the upper arms against the shins.
Snuggle your inner thighs against the sides
of your torso, and your shins into your armpits, and slide the upper arms down
as low onto the shins as possible. Lift up onto the balls of your feet and lean
forward even more, taking the weight of your torso onto the backs of the upper
arms. In Bakasana you consciously attempt to contract your front torso and
round your back completely. To help yourself do this, keep your tailbone as
close to your heels as possible.
With an exhalation, lean forward even more
onto the backs of your upper arms, to the point where the balls of your feet
leave the floor. Now your torso and legs are balanced on the backs of your
upper arms. As a beginner at this pose, you might want to stop here, perched
securely on the bent arms.
But if you are ready to go further, squeeze
the legs against the arms, press the inner hands firmly to the floor and (with
an inhalation) straighten the elbows. Seen from the side the arms are angled
slightly forward relative to the floor. The inner knees should be glued to the
outer arms, high up near the armpits. Keep the head in a neutral position with
your eyes looking at the floor, or lift the head slightly, without compressing
the back of the neck, and look forward.
Stay in the pose anywhere from 20 seconds to
1 minute. To release, exhale and slowly lower your feet to the floor, back into
a squat.

Sonnet To Chillon
a poem by Lord Byron |
||
Eternal
spirit of the chainless mind!
Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart, The heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consigned To fetters, and the damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom, And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind. Chillon! thy prison is a holy place, And thy sad floor an altar, for 'twas trod, Until his very steps have left a trace Worn, as if thy cold pavement were a sod, By Bonnivard! - May none those marks efface! For they appeal from tyranny to God. |

Alanis Morissette - Guardian Lyrics
You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down
So why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as a fog
And where was your watchman then
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who has pushed beyond what’s humane
Them as the ghostly tumbleweed
And where was your watchman then
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm
Now enter your watchwoman
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down
So why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as a fog
And where was your watchman then
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who has pushed beyond what’s humane
Them as the ghostly tumbleweed
And where was your watchman then
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm
Now enter your watchwoman
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
