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.

 

Aquamarine - Emotional help - perseverance, discipline, helps to bring unfinished business to a conclusion. Physical help - helps with allergies, hayfever, problems of eyes, respiratory tract, thyroid, bladder

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."

 

Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge)

 

http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/2494

Anatomical Focus: Thighs, Groins, Abdomen, Chest, Lungs, Shoulders, Armpits, Neck

 

Therapeutic Applications: Sciatica

 

Contraindications and Cautions: Heart problems

 

Beginner's Tip: To improve balance practice this pose facing a wall. Press the big toe of the front foot against the wall and stretch your arms up, finger tips to the wall.

 

1. From Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), exhale and step your right foot forward between your hands, aligning the right knee over the heel. Then lower your left knee to the floor and, keeping the right knee fixed in place, slide the left back until you feel a comfortable stretch in the left front thigh and groin. Turn the top of your left foot to the floor.
2. Inhale and lift your torso to upright. As you do, sweep your arms out to the sides and up, perpendicular to the floor. Draw the tailbone down toward the floor and lift your pubic bone toward your navel. Lift your chest from the firmness of your shoulder blades against the back torso.
3. Take your head back and look up, being careful not to jam the back of your neck. Reach your pinkies toward the ceiling. Hold for a minute, exhale your torso back to the right thigh and your hands to the floor, and turn your back toes under. With another exhale, lift your left knee off the floor and step back to Adho Mukha Svanasana. Repeat with the left foot forward for the same length of time.

The Birth of Love

 

William Wordsworth

 

By Simran Khurana, About.com Guide

 

When Love was born of heavenly line,

What dire intrigues disturbed Cythera's joy!

Till Venus cried, "A mother's heart is mine;

None but myself shall nurse my boy,"

 

But, infant as he was, the child

In that divine embrace enchanted lay;

And, by the beauty of the vase beguiled,

Forgot the beverage -- and pined away.

 

"And must my offspring languish in my sight?"

(Alive to all a mother's pain,

The Queen of Beauty thus her court addressed)

"No: Let the most discreet of all my train

 

Receive him to her breast:

Think all, he is the God of young delight."

 

Then tenderness with candour joined,

And gaiety the charming office sought;

Nor even delicacy stayed behind:

But none of those fair Graces brought

 

Wherewith to nurse the child -- and still he pined.

Some fond hearts to compliance seemed inclined;

But she had surely spoiled the boy:

And sad experience forbade a thought

On the wild Goddess of voluptuous joy.

 

Long undecided lay th' important choice,

Till of the beauteous court, at length, a voice

Pronounced the name of hope: -- The conscious child

Stretched forth his little arms, and smiled.

 

'Tis said enjoyment (who averred

The charge belonged to her alone)

Jealous that hope had been preferred

Laid snares to make the babe her own.

 

Of innocence the garb she took,

The blushing mien and downcast look;

And came her services to proffer:

And Hope (what has not Hope believed!)

By that seducing air deceived,

Accepted of the offer.

 

It happened that, to sleep inclined,

Deluded hope: for one short hour

To that false innocence's power

Her little charge consigned.

 

The Goddess then her lap with sweetmeats filled

And gave, in handfuls gave, the treacherous store:

A wild delirium first the infant thrilled;

But soon upon her breast he sunk -- to wake no more.

How Soon Is Now lyrics

 

LYRICS TO THE "CHARMED" THEME SONG

 

I am the son

And the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

 

I am the son and the heir

Of nothing in particular

 

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way?

 

I am Human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

 

I am the son

And the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

 

I am the son and the heir

Of nothing in particular

 

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way?

 

I am Human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

 

There's a club, if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go, and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home, and you cry

And you want to die

 

When you say it's gonna happen "now"

Well, when exactly do you mean?

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone

 

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way?

I am Human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does
