<p>Prune Harris, out of the United Kingdom, has a videography on YouTube as well as her own website offering energy work that can be done at home or as a client. This March "forecast" includes some meridian point work for the kidneys and adrenals. One can definitely go back to other months for the healthful touching, they are good any time.</p>

<br />
<p style="text-align: center;">With the pincers of truth I have plucked</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">From the dark corners of my heart</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The thorn of many judgments.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own splendor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Wealth or pleasure,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Duty or discrimination,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Duality or nonduality,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What are they to me?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is yesterday,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Tomorrow,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or today?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is space,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or eternity?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own radiance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is the Self,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or the not-Self?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is thinking,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or not thinking?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is good or evil?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own splendor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own radiance,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And I have no fear.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Waking,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dreaming,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sleeping,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What are they to me?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or even ecstasy?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What is far or near,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Outside or inside,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Gross or subtle?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own splendor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dissolving the mind,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or the highest meditation,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The world and all its works,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Life or death,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What are they to me?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I sit in my own radiance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Why talk of wisdom,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The three ends of life,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or oneness?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Why talk of these!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now I live in my heart.</p>

<p align="center"><font size="4"><b>The Flowering of Meditation</b></font><br/>
<br/> Meditation is not an Indian method;<br/> it is not simply a technique. You cannot learn it.<br/> It is a growth: a growth of your total living,<br/> out of your total living.<br/>
<br/> Meditation is not something that can be added<br/> to you as you are. It cannot be added to you; it<br/> can only come to you through a basic transformation,<br/> a mutation. It is a flowering, a growth.<br/>
<br/> Growth is always from the total; it is not an<br/> addition. Just like love, it cannot be added to<br/> you. It grows out of you, out of your totality.<br/> You must grow toward meditation.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<font size="3"><b>The Great Silence</b></font>
</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center">Silence usually is understood to be something negativ, something empty, an absence of sound, of noises. This misunderstanding is prevalent because very few people have ever experienced silence.<br/> All that they have experienced in the name of silence is noiselessness.<br/> But silence is a totally different phenomenon. It is utterly positive. It is existential, it is not empty.<br/> It is overflowing with a music that you have never heard before, with a fragrance that is unfamiliar to<br/> you, with a light that can only be seen by the inner eyes.<br/> It is not something fictitious; it is a reality, and a relity which is already present in everyone - we<br/> just never look in.<br/> Your inner world has its own taste, has its own fragrance, has its own light. And it is utterly silent,<br/> immensely silent, eternally silent. There has never been any noise, and there will never be any noise.<br/> No word can reach there, but
<i>you</i> can reach.<br/> Your very center of being is the center of a cyclone. Whatever happens around it does not affect<br/> it. It is eternal silence.<br/> Days come and go, years come and go, ages come and pass. Lives come and go, but the eternal<br/> silence of your being remains exactly the same - the same soundless music, the same fragrance of<br/> godliness, the same transcendence from all that is mortal, from all that is momentary.<br/> It is not
<i>your</i> silence.<br/>
<i>You</i> are it.<br/> It is not something in your possession; you are possessed by it, and that's the greatness of it. Even you are not there, because even your presence will be a disturbance.<br/> The silence is so profound that there is nobody, not even you. And this silence brings truth, and<br/> love, and thousands of other blessings to you.<br/>

<p>When a wise man has withdrawn his mind from all things without,<br/> and when his spirit has peacefully left all inner sensations,<br/> let him rest in peace, free from the movement of will and desire. …</p>
<p><br/> <br/> For it has been said: There is something beyond our mind,<br/> which abides in silence within our mind.<br/> It is the supreme mystery beyond thought.<br/> Let one’s mind and subtle spirit rest upon that and nothing else.</p>
<p><br/> <br/> …When the mind is silent,<br/> beyond weakness and distraction,<br/> then it can enter into a world,<br/> which is far beyond the mind: the supreme Destination. …<br/> Then one knows the joy of Eternity. …<br/> Words cannot describe the joy of the soul<br/> whose impurities are washed away in the depths of contemplation,<br/> who is one with the Atman, his own Self.<br/> Only those who experience this joy know what it is. …<br/> As water becomes one with water,<br/> fire with fire,<br/> and air with air,<br/> so the mind becomes one with the infinite Mind<br/> and thus attains Freedom.</p>
