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

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.”
The book, Hatha Yoga
& The Chakra System will be available soon as a paperback, ebook, on Kindle
and iPad. A new Hatha Yoga page is available on http://www.crystalartsandhealth.org.uk

Mantra Meditation
This meditation will take
anywhere from five to 20 minutes, or even longer if you wish. We recommend
staying in Steps 1 and 2 for one to two minutes each; in Step 3 for three to
five minutes; and in Step 4 for five to 15 minutes.
Select
a favorite word, phrase, prayer, or fragment of a poem for meditation. Ideally,
a mantra is
composed of only a few words or syllables, so you can repeat it easily, without
getting lost in a long phrase. Choose something uplifting that inspires you and
engages your heart. Avoid words that stir up thoughts or disturb your mind.
Sit
comfortably in a chair or on the floor, supporting your posture with a blanket
or a cushion. Find a position both aligned with the natural curves of the spine
and relaxed, so you can remain fairly still. Close your eyes and take a few
slow, deep breaths or do some breathing practices for several minutes, then
relax your breath completely.
Repeat
your mantra slowly and steadily, concentrating on its sound as fully as you
can. Repeat it in unison with the natural rhythm of your breath. Either split
it so you repeat half the mantra when you inhale and the other half when you
exhale, or repeat it on both the inhalation and the exhalation.
After
about 10 recitations, repeat the mantra silently by moving only your lips (this
helps you keep a steady pace). Then, after another 10 repetitions, recite it
internally without moving your lips.
As
thoughts arise, simply return to the mantra, knowing this is a natural part of
the process. Gently bring your attention back again and again, experiencing the
internal sound as fully as possible.
Continue
for the period of time you set aside for meditation. Come out of the meditation
by taking a few deep breaths and then sitting quietly to see what you feel. You
may feel calm and centered. Or you may be flooded with old thoughts and
feelings from your subconscious, which might be uncomfortable.
Regardless
of your immediate reaction, take comfort in knowing that regular practice has
immense benefits: It enables you to experience the present moment more fully
and to make conscious choices instead of falling into habitual reactions.

The Broken Heart by William Barnes
News o' grief had overteaken
Dark-eyed Fanny, now vorseaken;
There she zot, wi' breast a-heaven,
While vrom zide to zide, wi' grieven,
Vell her head, wi' tears a-creepen
Down her cheaks, in bitter weepen.
There wer still the ribbon-bow
She tied avore her hour ov woe,
An' there wer still the hans that tied it
Hangen white,
Or wringen tight,
In ceare that drowned all ceare bezide it.
When a man, wi' heartless slighten,
Mid become a maiden's blighten,
He mid cearelessly vorseake her,
But must answer to her Meaker;
He mid slight, wi' selfish blindness,
All her deeds o' loven-kindness,
God wull waigh 'em wi' the slighten
That mid be her love's requiten;
He do look on each deceiver,
He do know
What weight o' woe
Do break the heart ov ev'ry griever.
