meditate with a bloodstone at the full moon to uncover hidden unfulfilled
desires that are controlling your life.

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.”
Benefits: strengthens the shoulders, arms and wrists, stretches the belly, improves sense of balance, calms the brain and helps relieve stress and mild depression.
Contraindications and cautions: back, shoulder or neck injury, headache, heart condition, high blood pressure, menstruation. If you are experienced with this pose, you can continue to practice it late into pregnancy. Don't, however, take up the practice of Adho Mukha Vrksasana after you become pregnant.
Handstand
Adho Mukha Vrksasana
Like its inverted cousins such as Forearm Balance and Headstand, a
major obstacle to Handstand is a natural fear of falling. So the basic pose
will be described with the heels supported against a wall. Make sure that there
are no hanging pictures or other decorations on the wall directly above you.
(ah-doh moo-kah vriks-SHAHS-anna) adho mukha = face
downward (adho = downward; mukha = face)
vrksa = tree
downward (adho = downward; mukha = face)
vrksa = tree
Perform Adho
Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose) with your fingertips an inch or two
away from a wall, hands shoulder-width. If your shoulders are tight, turn your
index fingers out slightly; otherwise arrange them parallel to each other. If
you're uneasy about this pose, you're not alone. To ready yourself for and
secure yourself in this inversion, firm your shoulder blades against your back
torso and pull them toward your tailbone. Then rotate your upper arms outward,
to keep the shoulder blades broad, and hug your outer arms inward. Finally
spread your palms and press the bases of the index fingers firmly against the
floor.
Now bend one knee and step the foot in, closer to the wall (we'll
say it's the left leg), but keep the other (i.e. right) leg active by extending
through the heel. Then take a few practice hops before you try to launch
yourself upside down. Sweep your right leg through a wide arc toward the wall
and kick your left foot off the floor, immediately pushing through the heel to
straighten the left knee. As both legs come off the ground, engage your deep
core abdominal muscles to help lift your hips over your shoulders. Hop up and
down like this several times, each time pushing off the floor a little higher.
Exhale deeply each time you hop.
Hopping up and down like this may be all you can manage for now.
Regularly practice strengthening poses, like Adho Mukha Svanasana and Plank Pose.
Eventually you'll be able to kick all the way into the pose. At first your
heels may crash into the wall, but again with more practice you'll be able to
swing your heels up lightly to the wall.
If your armpits and groins are tight, your lower back may be
deeply arched. To lengthen this area, draw your front ribs into your torso,
reach your tailbone toward your heels, and slide your heels higher up the wall.
Squeeze the outer legs together and roll the thighs in. Hang your head from a
spot between your shoulder blades and gaze out into the center of the room.
To start stay in the pose 10 to 15 seconds, breathing deeply.
Gradually work your way up to 1 minute. When you come down, be sure not to sink
onto the shoulders. Keep your shoulder blades lifted and broad, and take one
foot down at a time, each time with an exhalation. Stand in Uttanasana for 30
seconds to 1 minute. We tend to kick up with the same leg all the time: be sure
to alternate your kicking leg, one day right, next day left.
Poetry
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in Life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulse's beat;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft! I bless the Lot that made me love you.

You Don’t Bring Me
Flowers (Solo)
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through that door at the end of the day...
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through that door at the end of the day...
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling all right
Well, you just roll over and turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling all right
Well, you just roll over and turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural to talk about forever
But used-to-be's don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor, till we sweep them away
And baby I remember all the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry
Well, I learned how to love I even learned how to lie
So you'd think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't say you need me
But used-to-be's don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor, till we sweep them away
And baby I remember all the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry
Well, I learned how to love I even learned how to lie
So you'd think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore...
