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.

Poem from this collection http://www.gaias-garden.co.uk/library/ACheerfulCanvas.html
Than all the Worthies did ;
And yet a braver thence doth spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.
When he, which can have learn'd the art
To cut it, can find none.
Such stuff to work upon, there is—
Would love but as before.
For he who color loves, and skin,
Loves but their oldest clothes.
And dare love that, and say so too,
And forget the He and She ;
Which will no faith on this bestow,
Or, if they do, deride ;
And a braver thence will spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.
Music
And all that Jazz
It's just a noisy hall, where there's a nightly brawl
And all - a-that - Ja-yazz
Hold on hon, we're gonna bunny-hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case we shake apart and want a brand new start
To do - a-that - Ja-yazz
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy-shake, and all that jazz
Oh, I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break, and all that jazz
Show me where to park my girdle, oh, my mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all - that - Ja-yazz
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
(Oh I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Come on babe we're gonna brush the sky
(Show me where to park my girdle)
I bet you lucky Lindy never flew so high
(Oh, my mother's blood'd girdle)
'Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear
(If she'd hear her baby's queer)
To all that ja-yazz
No I'm no-one's wife, but oh I love my life
And all... that... Ja-yazz..., that Jazz
Have a happy and blessed 2012.

Higher crown Chakras
The sphere of service and spiritual enlightenment. If stuck open, spaced out, open to delusion. Influence from other realms of being and entity attachment is possible.
Negative quality: spiritually untrustworthy. Positive Quality: Enlightenment.
White stones, Petalite, and Selenite are associated with the higher crown chakras.

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."

Contraindications and Cautions: Asthma, Diarrhea, Back injury: Only perform this pose under the supervision of an experienced teacher.
Modifications and Props
Most students should sit up on a folded blanket in this pose, and most beginners need to hold a strap around the feet. Extremely stiff students can place a rolled up blanket under their knees.
- Sit on the floor with your buttocks supported on a folded blanket and your legs straight in front of you. Press actively through your heels. Rock slightly onto your left buttock, and pull your right sitting bone away from the heel with your right hand. Repeat on the other side. Turn the top thighs in slightly and press them down into the floor. Press through your palms or finger tips on the floor beside your hips and lift the top of the sternum toward the ceiling as the top thighs descend.
- Draw the inner groins deep into the pelvis. Inhale, and keeping the front torso long, lean forward from the hip joints, not the waist. Lengthen the tailbone away from the back of your pelvis. If possible take the sides of the feet with your hands, thumbs on the soles, elbows fully extended; if this isn't possible, loop a strap around the foot soles, and hold the strap firmly. Be sure your elbows are straight, not bent.
- When you are ready to go further, don't forcefully pull yourself into the forward bend, whether your hands are on the feet or holding the strap. Always lengthen the front torso into the pose, keeping your head raised. If you are holding the feet, bend the elbows out to the sides and lift them away from the floor; if holding the strap, lighten your grip and walk the hands forward, keeping the arms long. The lower belly should touch the thighs first, then the upper belly, then the ribs, and the head last.
- With each inhalation, lift and lengthen the front torso just slightly; with each exhalation release a little more fully into the forward bend. In this way the torso oscillates and lengthens almost imperceptibly with the breath. Eventually you may be able to stretch the arms out beyond the feet on the floor.
- Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. To come up, first lift the torso away from the thighs and straighten the elbows again if they are bent. Then inhale and lift the torso up by pulling the tailbone down and into the pelvis.

The Undertaking by John Donne
I have done one braver thingThan all the Worthies did ;
And yet a braver thence doth spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.
It were but madness now to impart
The skill of specular stone, When he, which can have learn'd the art
To cut it, can find none.
So, if I now should utter this,
Others—because no more Such stuff to work upon, there is—
Would love but as before.
But he who loveliness within
Hath found, all outward loathes, For he who color loves, and skin,
Loves but their oldest clothes.
If, as I have, you also do
Virtue in woman see,And dare love that, and say so too,
And forget the He and She ;
And if this love, though placèd so,
From profane men you hide, Which will no faith on this bestow,
Or, if they do, deride ;
Then you have done a braver thing
Than all the Worthies did ; And a braver thence will spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.
