VENUSfrequency YOGA edition 29 SEP 2023 | Sutra 3.27 | Harvest Moon | Hatha Yoga

Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker,
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers. 

Under the summer roses
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wild red leaves,
Love, with little hands,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful, unanswerable questions. 

Carl Sandburg was a Swedish-American author who won three Pulitzer Prizes throughout his lifetime.Sandburg is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in contemporary literature. 

The poem Under the Harvest Moon by Carl Sandburg compares autumn and summer in ways to represent people in two different periods of life. One is older, reflected in “the harvest” stanza, and one is younger, showcased in “the summer” verse. Through wonderfully crafted wording with subtle clues about meaning, Sandburg’s work reveals “beaut[y]” in both stages of life, but for the older person, memory is the prominent detail, whereas, for the younger person, it is only a part of the equation. For that younger person, the possibilities before them are the primary concern, like “summer roses” that are still in bloom. For both, life still has meaning and worth.  

More Harvest Moon in this Episode that also takes a look at Patanjali’s yoga sutra 3.27… where we turn to the INNER SUN That INNER SUN that is to be found only in meditation. It is accessible through the sushumna channel, the white stream of energy that courses through the center of the chakras, along the spinal column. Through meditation on centers such as the heart (anahata chakra) or the space between the eyebrows (ajna chakra), the sun will eventually be revealed. To clear the clouded mind so as to be able to find this sun is one of the key reasons for all of the various practices of Yoga. So lets clear our clouded minds together with sun & moon. HATHA yoga.  

Because I am still in LOVE with you I want to see you dance again, because I’m still in LOVE with you on this harvet moon. NEIL YOUNG lyrics from his song HARVEST MOON,  

And let us dance to and LOVE this carefully curated playlist of Harvest Moon inspired world contemporary tunes of contributions by…
