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.

Yoga

 

http://hatha-yoga.suite101.com/article.cfm/yoga-practice-routine-for-office-workers

 

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."

Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose (Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana)

 

1. Sit on the floor with your torso upright and your legs wide. Bend your left knee and snug the heel into your left groin. Then slightly bend your right knee and slide the heel a few inches toward the right buttock.
2. Exhale, lean to the right, and press the back of your right shoulder against the inside of your right knee. Lay your right forearm on the floor inside your right leg, palm facing up. Lengthen the right side of your torso along the inside of the right thigh. Turn your right palm toward the inside edge of the foot and take hold of it, thumb on the top of the foot, fingers on the sole.
3. Remember, the pose is anchored by the femur bone of the left leg. Press the left femur firmly to the floor, as you inhale and slowly extend your right knee. Keep the back of your shoulder connected to the inner knee as you extend it; you'll find that your torso is drawn out by the straightening knee. When your knee is straight, twist your torso toward the ceiling.
4. Inhale your left arm straight up toward the ceiling, lean it back slightly, and then, with another inhale, sweep it behind your left ear and take hold of the outside edge of the right foot. Press the elbows away from each other, using them like a crank to help twist the upper torso further. Turn your head to look at the ceiling.
5. Hold for a minute. To come out, first untwist your torso, and without coming to upright, sweep it to the left midway between the legs. Then inhale and lift to an upright position. Remember not to come up directly from the twisted position.. Repeat these steps to the other side for the same length of time.

 

Follow-Up Poses

 

Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana (Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose) is typically practiced as part of a sitting forward bend sequence.

 When You Are Old

 

William Butler Yeats

 

By Simran Khurana, About.com Guide

 

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Thank You

 

Written by D Armstrong/P Herman

 

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

 

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay

My head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today

I'm late for work again and even if I'm there

They'll all imply that I might not last the day

And then you call me and it's not so bad

It's not so bad and

 

I want to thank you (I, I)

For giving me the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)

Oh just to be with you (ohhh, ohhh)

Is having the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)

 

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through

Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you

And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me and

I want to thank you (I, I)

For giving me the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)

Oh just to be with you (ohhh, ohhh)

Is having the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)

 

I want to thank you (I, I)

For giving me the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)

Oh just to be with you (ohhh, ohhh)

Is having the best day of my life

(Ohh, of my life)
