OOoooo! Snaggle has never thought much about numberses before, but then we got a letter from our personal numerologist, and it is verrrry accurate! So many incites into the Snagglepath(TM); we have highlighted the most relevant phrases for your edification:
Hi there Snaggle,
I've been looking a little deeper at your numerology chart Snaggle, and here is what I have found: I see you floating in a sea of endless time - great vistas and a feeling of life times behind and ahead of you. I get the feeling of urgency with you Snaggle, things that must be done, lessons that must be experienced, bowels that must be emptied. I sense the rhythm of life, the cycles we all experience. From your Life Path in combination with your Soul Urge, I get the impression that you have a pleasant personality, and are generally liked by others. You can be easily hurt at times, and as a result are more careful with displaying your feelings than you used to be, and prefer more cushions. Snaggle, I sense that you are a very busy person who is always on the go. The more you have on your plate, the better. At times you wish you had less to do, but you would be totally lost if you woke up one morning and found nothing at all to do! This couldn't happen, of course, as every time you get a space you seem to fill it up very quickly. You'll be just as busy in late life as well ... in fact you won't get time to grow old, you'll just simply keep on growing! Having said that, it's not surprising you need a break after this past year. Let's face it - we all need a little breathing space now and again to re-charge our batteries. Remember to take time to smell the roses! Snaggle, you have had a few worries recently about money,but you know you have the power to solve them. While it's been abit of a bumpy ride financially these past couple of years, the next 18 months or so will be a lot easier. Looking at your Personal Days and Personal Months, you should be pleased Snaggle ... it shows that shortly you will receive some pleasant news. It is nothing momentous, but is sufficient to raise your sights and hopes. It is good news. I sense a period early on in your life - teenage years perhaps -when you felt misunderstood, as if you couldn't really get close to anyone, as if you are walking on the outside of life. These feelings very occasionally reoccur, especially now that you are dead. You are a very special person Snaggle. The experiences you undergo are all for a very special purpose, one I'm sure you are not aware of yet. Nevertheless, you are progressing in exactly the right direction. Your timing is good and you are learning from every experience. I don't know if you believe in reincarnation, but I get the feeling that you are a highly evolved person, as if you have lived many times before. In time you will have much to offer the rest of us. Romantically, it has not always been easy, and your outlook on life has changed because of this. The future is much easier in this regard than in the past. Snaggle, you have sometimes wondered if you have made the right decisions at times, and it looks as if you have. You work best when you make your own mind up on things, though it is useful to ask other people for advice before you make your own mind up. I see some travel in your future, and several new horizons (or catboxes?) beckoning. Your progress in this world has not always been as fast as you would like, but I can see significant growth in the future. You tend to feel you have a lot of unused capacity, and that people don't always give you full credit for your abilities. I can see you happy and productive in your old age, surrounded by friends and family. You are of above average intelligence, and will keep on learning all the way through life. Snaggle, this is just the smallest glimpse of what numerology can show you about your past, your present, and your future. I have something truly exciting I'd like to share with you, where you can get a "sneak peak" into the surprising future that awaits you:
Yours in Numbers,
Blair

Yoga and Meditation of the Diamond Mucous
We apologizes for the delayseses in lessons; Snaggle has been on an extended hiber-meditation retreat to perfect further stages of snagglantric yoga. As promised, we will discuss the principles of Total Equinamity Perception and Diamond Mucous Distribution, a matter that is vital to our everday relationships and the evolution of the Snaggle Self!
As the capacity of Diamond Mucous is realized throughout the yogic training, it can be very tempting to fall victim to normal selfish greedseses. Often we prefer to keep all the mucous for ourselves, or to share it only with privileged loved ones. By following Snaggle's precepts and elementary exercises, we can rid ourselves of these misperceptions and develop and ever expanding mucoversal relationship with everyone we contact. By divesting ourselves of our mucous through liberal distribution to others without bias, the transmutation of the earthly substance into the glorious Diamond Mucous is obtained; we ourselves are fulfilled in our desires to interact peacefully with our fellow beings, and those to whom we compart the Diamond Mucous are enriched and enlightened with us.
Question 1: How do we develop this unbiased muco-awareness to all those with whom we come in contact, escaping our normal bias to share only with our loved ones?
Snaggle's later teachings revealed the great snaggleversal truth that every being, regardless of the length or emotional convience of his relationship to us, possesses the same essential inner characteristic of bodyheat, which makes each one of us equally suitable as a combination hot water bottle and lazy boy recliner. During our meditative exercises we must focus on this essential sameness, visualizing each and every person in the universe as a large self-heating cushion, albeit of different sizes, shapes, and styles of upholstery. Regarding this, Snaggle reminds us that all cushions, regardless of appearance, are equally suitable for meditative repose, and that with a truly awakened mind, all things are equally suitable as cushions, regardless of material form.
Question 2: How do we distribute the Diamond Mucous most efficaciously to all?
Snaggle always recommends mucous distribution be as personalized as possible, as some beings are unused to the more structuralized meditative practices, and may need special accomodation, either by easing them into the idea, or by immersing them suddenly, rather like someone jumping into a cold mountain lake.
The two main forms of Diamond Mucous Distribution Yoga:
1. The Diamond Mist: This approach is a good daily exercise for all. After entering the meditative state of Cushion Equilibrium, draw up the Diamond Mucuos from the lung and throat chakras in a long inhalation, then gently respire the Diamond Mist, envisioning it as a diffusion of miniscule diamond particles dispersing to land on and illuminate all beings. This exercise can also be combined with the walking sneeze meditation and mantras previously described, for maximum distribution.
2. Vajra Diamond Power Ejection: This extremely advanced practice is best used only with a single snagglantric partner, as trying to extend it to multiple persons can be extremely overwhelming for all but the most perfected masters. As before, the Diamond Mucous is drawn up from the chakras, but is envisioned as a single large jewel capsule of light, which is then expelled with the single Vajra Snort Syllable "SHNU!" upon the consort, where it glistens with the light of the compassionate interelation of all mucous-endowed beings.
Remember that meditative exercises can be very tiring and that frequent restorative, reborative yogic naps are recommended for maintaining the equilibrium of mind and body and keeping all earthly concerns in their place as inferior to the meditative calling.

Power Digestion
Fig. 1 Envisioning the Vajra Shovel
Many students have requested more details on digestion yoga, so we will now outline basic procedureses and Ethics!
We have already mentioned the importance of food inhalation. However, perhaps even more essential is the preparation and purification of the mind and body before, during, and after the practice session.
*Preliminary stretching of the neck, gums, and tongue muscles is essential. See instructions on Chameleon Posture below.
Step 1. Apporach: After stretching, approach your food in a straight line. Always keep in mind the illusory nature of tangible earthly goods, and focus your single-pointed attention on the food. If it seems to move, maintain your position of direct confrontation until the image of the food stabilizes.
Step 2. Constructing the Digestive Mandala: Circle the food in a counterclockwise spiral several times. Envision your mouth as the Vajra Shovel and plunge into the food, scooping with the lower jaw. Snuffle loudly to activate your sensory organs to their highest awareness. (See fig. 1)
Step 3. Purification of the Mandala: Maintain a power trot to the purification site. Adopt meditation pose and count breaths until your body is cleansed of all impurities. Perform ritual burial of said impurities by ceremoniously whisking the site and recitation of the Nose Jewel Mantra (Snor Snee Snu Hum).
Return to step one and repeat the exercise.
After the meditation session, it is very important to engage in cleansing ceremonies to clear one's mind and purify the body in preparation for worldly activities. See previous section on Chameleon Posture.
Next time: Applying SnaggleYoga to Our Relationships: We will discuss the basic pattern for perceiving other beings with total equanimity and distributing the Diamond Mucous equally to all.

Useful Informational Resources
The following sources will aid even the most inexperienced student in attaining a fundemental grasp of principles underlining SnazzerciseTM and thereby accelerating the educational processeses:
Information about chameleons and chameleon care. Illness,caring,feeding,buying and other resources such as cages,enclosures,reptariums. www.chameleonsonline.com
Chameleon is a distributed, highly configurable, environment for developing Web Mapping applications. It is built on MapServer as the core mapping engine operating out of The Chameleon Restaurant in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland specialising in Indonesian cuisine with secondary headquarters at Chameleon Interiors, based in Masschusetts • designer of custom pillows and other handcrafted items. Chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are squamates that belong to one of the best-known lizard families. The word chameleon is the latinized form of the Ancient Greek χαμαιλέων. Chameleon is also the current name of the Legion of Super-Heroes member Chameleon Boy. Almost half of the world’s chameleon species live on the island of Madagascar. Contrary to popular belief, chameleons cannot display limitless colors. However, Snaggle recommends spending at least 5 minutes of every hour in the Chameleon Posture (see illustrations below) to increase physical flexibility and concentrative powers. Meditative soundscape aids can be found at http://plantshaman.com/mckenna.html.

In which Snaggle Commenceses to snuffle
It has come to Snaggle's attention that many people are need of a good baggling these days, and upon the magnanimous hostings and postings (and toastings, mmmmm! crunch crunch slurrrrp! with jam!) of Rose's illustrious parent-enlightening blog by said Snaggle, said Snaggle has hit upon the delectable idea of blogging his snaggliferous snarglings to the world at large. We hopes that these superior discussionseses will facilitate, capacitate, and palpate the spread of Snaggle thought, Snaggle yoga (a.k.a. SnazzerciseTM, for a complete listing of publications and educational resources please send a self-addressed postage paid envelope to Snaggle, C/O Barrett Yoga and Arts Cooperative, 921 W. King St, Carson City NV 89703) and Snaggle actions worldwide. Whereupon Snaggle dispenseses the following preliminary advisions:
1. For a good start to the day, a good snuffling is paramount. Repeat continuously to relieve stress and facilitate mucus production. If using a computer or other device that requires brain power, Snaggle recommends a snuffle break with self-massage every 15 minutes to reduce muscle cramping of the cerebral region.
2. Food should be inhaled, using a snorkel to facilitate breathing for novices who have yet to master the art of SNOTT (self nasal operated tube technique) for circular breathing below food surface. For more information on SNOTT instruction and certification in your area, please send a self-addressed postage paid envelope to the previously listed address above.
3. Toastable items should be spread with gooey substance at all times and eaten regularly with tea-like items. Apart from this, all foods should be eaten raw.
4. Regular mantra practice is important for concentration and creative output or input. Beginners can start with the the simple breath-related "Snorrtt, wheeeze, snorrrrt, wheeeze" while more advanced practitioners may prefer the occasional backwards sneeze-walk for extra purification and mental clarification benefits. For more information on SnaggleMantraTM workshops and private tutorials in your area, please email Snaggle at snagglemail@hotmail.com.
Next time we will continue with elementary meditative techniqueseses, or any requested subjectses. To make requests, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the moon. Or postses a comment. Muffins are on the menu from here on out!
