Daily exercise for charging the glyph

This is very young, still in the process of evolving.  It seems to be manifesting 
itself as a tai-chi sort of exercise at the moment and is not suggesting any 
overt "energy-work" in it's performance.



Face East.  Sun salutation, if not yet done this day.  

Locate your self at the center of the glyph, astrally if nothing else.  Face east and 
vizualize the dawn, mindful of the many levels of symbolism that are expressed thereby. 
Having done so, turn counterclockwise until you would be facing Saturn.
