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.

"These are the things I know: You always
throw spilled salt over your left shoulder, plant rosemary at your gate, keep
lavender for luck and fall in love whenever possible." ~Alice Hoffman,
Practical Magic http://www.alicehoffman.com/hoffman-bio.htm
Useful herb resource for vitamin and herb
interactions:
Hot and Cold
Compresses
For a hot compress
soak a clean linen or cotton cloth in a hot decoction or infusion and apply it
to the affected part as hot as can be tolerated. Cover compress with plastic wrap and put a
hot water bottle on it to maintain the heat. To prepare a cold compress use
same method, but allow to cool before applying.
Poultice
In a poultice plant
parts are used rather than liquid extraction.
Mash or crush fresh plant parts and either heat in a pot over boiling
water or mix with a small amount of boiling water. Apply pulp directly to the skin and hold in
place with a gauze bandage. If using a
dried herb, first powder it and make a paste with a little boiling water, if a
skin irritant, apply between two layers of cloth. Poultices are used to stimulate circulation,
soothe aches and pains or draw impurities out through the skin.

Big Mind Meditation
If you already have a regular meditation routine, do a minute or
two of it to get grounded and comfortable, and maintain your usual posture. If you're
new to meditation, find a comfortable upright position (sitting in a chair is
sufficient), take a few deep breaths, and relax as much as you can. Set aside
25 minutes for the entire practice.
From
your relaxed meditation position, ask yourself to speak with your Controller.
(You'll probably feel a bit strange speaking to yourself this way, but you're
simply giving voice to the running dialogue that already exists inside your
head.) The Controller is essentially your ego. Its job, as its name implies, is
to control. You've likely met and probably struggle with this aspect of
yourself.
Ask
the Controller about its job, then probe further and ask what it controls—your
actions, your thoughts, other people? This is neither good nor bad; the
Controller is just doing its job. A key component of the Big Mind process is
gaining the Controller's—the ego's—cooperation and not threatening it with
annihilation, as spiritual training often does.
Once
you gain the Controller's trust, you can ask it for permission to speak with
your other voices; the ego is usually glad to temporarily step aside if it has
been consulted.
Next
up is the Skeptic. Before asking the Controller to speak with the Skeptic,
however, take a deep breath; when you shift into another voice, it's good to
give the mental movement a physical correlation.
Let
the Skeptic be what it is. It's OK that a part of you is skeptical; it's actually
a good thing. If you didn't have a skeptical voice, you might find yourself
continually being hoodwinked. Ask the Skeptic what it has doubts about.
Now
take a breath and ask to speak with Seeking Mind. Shift over to this new voice.
Meditators often have a problem with Seeking Mind; they want to get rid of it,
because it creates so much desire. But Seeking Mind is doing what it's meant to
do. It's helpful to remember that without it, you might not be meditating in
the first place.
Take
another breath and shift to Nonseeking Mind. Nonseeking Mind is the state of
meditation. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do. Again, this is neither good
nor bad; Nonseeking Mind simply doesn't seek. Explore Nonseeking Mind.
Take
a moment here to notice how easy or hard it is to shift from one voice to
another. Moving among your different selves helps you realize the empty nature
of the self—that is, you have no static identity; you are continually changing.
You might think your identity is set in stone (I am shy, I am angry, I am
spiritual), but these are just voices floating in space; they're not you.
You're much bigger than you think.
Now
take a breath and shift into Big Mind. This is the voice that contains all the
other voices. It is known by various names: the ground of being, Buddha Mind,
Universal Mind, God. By its very nature, it has no beginning and no end. There
is nothing outside of Big Mind, but Big Mind is a voice inside of you. Big
Mind's job, you could say, is just to be.
Ask
Big Mind what it does and doesn't contain. Does it contain your birth? Your
parents' birth? Your death? Can you find its beginning or end? Does it contain
your other voices? How does it see your daily problems?
Stay
in Big Mind for as long as you can. In this state, you have surrendered your
personal ego (with its permission) to your true and universal nature.
Next,
find your voice of Big Heart. Explore what it does for you and others. Its job
is to be compassionate. How does it respond when someone or something is
hurting? Does it take the form of tough love or tender nurturing or both? Does
it have any limits when faced with suffering? Sit with this voice for a while.
Now
shift back into Nonseeking Mind and stay with it for a couple minutes to end
the meditation. Though you might want to stay in Big Mind forever, the simple
fact is that no single voice is the stopping place; there is no stopping place.
Continually working with and accepting all of your voices will, in turn, help
you accept the myriad voices of others.
Once
learned, the Big Mind process can be used at any time during meditation
practice or throughout the day. If you're feeling particularly angry during
meditation, you can connect with Angry Self, let it have its say, and move into
Nonseeking Mind or Big Mind. Play with your various voices and see what you can
find.

Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
