Lasya
Dance performed by Goddess Parvati is known as Lasya.

 Lasya,  gentle, graceful yet erotic movements.

According to the Puranas, Shiva dances a wild and vigorous  tandava dance in the cremation grounds at night but dances a soft and graceful lasya)dance in the tranquility.

There is also Rudrda Thandava which is again wild and santha thandava which is gentle.

Lingam

Lingam is soulseed in which lies the essence of the entire cosmos.

 Lingas are usually found  in stone that may either be carved or naturally existing - svayambhu, such as shaped by a swift-flowing river. ( narmadeshwar banaling or narmadeshwarshivling )

Shiva Lingas may also be made of metal, crystal, wood, earth sand, river water sand,  transitory materials such as ice.

Shivling may be made of 12 different materials such as sand, rice, cooked food, river clay, cow dung, butter, rudraksha seeds, ashes, sandalwood, darbha grass, a flower garland or molasses.

Rathna ling is crystal ling. If linga is made out of 108 different kind of gems stone crystals and worshipped in one place there the Presence of Kubera will be on a permanent level, till now it is not yet possible by anonne ( now its 2015 ).

Narmadeshwarshivlinga is very energetic and peaceful, if a shivlinga can be carried with always along with, narmadeshwar shivling banalinga is the one. some put it in locket, others in pocket, no worry the lord will be happily travelling. Children also can have one of this lingam in their bag so it will be protecting, shiva will be protecting.
For the question, " can I carry a shivlinga always with me?
the Answer is :- Yes, for narmadeshwarshivling, get the one naturally formed in the river and not the one which is artificially made
also
Can I gift shivling or Can I accept ling as a Gift
the Answer is:- Very much it can be, when a person gives the linga, he becomes a tool for spreading the energy and the one who is accepting becomes a receiver of the energy, the sukshuma inside this the energy flow of the giver gets doubled by the act and the receiver gets an additional energy. Read this twice to understand clearly.
There are Vedic people who do gifting of 108 shivlinga and 1008 shivlingas. They know the secret of makng their energy grow in simple ways.

Cosmic Dance of Shiva

Cosmic Dance of Shiva

Shiva is an aspect of God that breaks down all that is false. Shiva does his dance as the destroyer to expose our demons and to allow us to transform and rebuild. 

Shiva is now dancing within my being, and transforming me, each cell and each thought. Right now it is a process of bringing to light all that is not of the light that must be let go and released, which means every fear that is secreted within my flesh through my own actions and thoughts within this lifetime and as a result of genetics and blood karma.

Shiva dances through me and awakens the mistress within to respond to his advances. As masculine and feminine come into balance, so I come into mastery. 

I must learn to accept all aspects of duality in neutrality before I can come before Sanat Kumara and enter Shamballa, and so I will endeavor to do this, for all life, so that heaven can come to earth and dwell in everyone`s hearts.

Panchayatna Puja

Panchayatana Puja is a systematic procedure which involves physical and mental discipline, requires inner and outer cleanliness. This - when done systematically will surely bring the progress in the material world and the final truth - awareness of the true Self. By following it, one obtains the Lord’s Anugraha, without which liberation is not possible

The Panchayatana is a system which consists of the worship of five deities:

"Adityam Ambikaam Vishnum Gananaatam Maheswaram"

Aditya is Lord Surya.
Ambika is Goddess Devi.
Vishnu is Lord Narayana.
Gananaatham is Lord Ganesha.
Maheswara is Lord Shiva.

These five are the great divine force whom every householder worships as pancha devata puja. Based on the tradition followed by the family, one of these deities is kept in the center and the other four around it and worship is offered to all the deities.

Adhi Shankara systemised the Sanatana Dharma(Hinduism) and classified it into broad Six categories.

Shaiva - with Shiva as the Presiding deity
Vaishnava - with Vishnu as the Presiding deity
Shaktha - with Devi as the Presiding deity
Ganapatya - with Ganesha as the Presiding deity
Kaumara - with Subramanya as the Presiding deity
Sowra - with Surya (planets) as the Presiding deity

Deva Puja and Archana is one of the most important duties imposed by the Shastras. The Shastras are filled with details of the Panchayatana puja details and Adhi Shankra only prescribed us to follow it without fail.

Lord of Lords Om Namah Shivaya

Lord Shiva was married to Devi Parvati on Shivratri. Remember Shiva minus Parvati is pure 'Nirgun Brahman'. With his illusive power, (Maya, Parvati) He becomes the "Sagun Brahman" for the purpose of the pious devotion of his devotees.

Maha Shivratri, the night of the worship of Shiva, occurs on the 14th night of the new moon during the dark half of the month of Phalguna (Feb / March) when Hindus offer special prayer to the lord of destruction.
