NEED SLEEP NOW?

There is a lot of information in this blog which explains the need for these suggested sleep methods.

This link will take you to SLEEP NOW ideas

If you are confused by the suggestions which seem to go against what other people, family and friends are suggesting please do come back and read through the material I’ve found.

PLEASE USE LABELS OR ARCHIVE TO NAVIGATE
Many posts will have a links to another site with some information that I have found very helpful or interesting.

When we hear a Dharma talk or study a sutra, our only job is to remain open. Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing. If we read or listen with an open mind and an open heart, the rain of the Dharma will penetrate the soil of our consciousness.

While reading or listening, don't work too hard. Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth only has to open herself up to the rain. Allow the rain of the Dharma to come in and penetrate the seeds that are buried deep in your consciousness. A teacher cannot give you the truth. The truth is already in you. You only need to open yourself - body, mind, and heart - so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment. if you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.

About me

I've just been laughing to myself over the past few days...I really am my parents child.

Dad - a psychologist in New Zealand for over 20 years. Worked in prisons, probation offices, addiction treatment agencies and anger management/stopping violence programmes. Now days, semi-retired and work part time for a busy community mental healthservice dealing with the problems of depression, anxiety, trauma, the effects of abuse, grief, head injury, drugs and alcohol, self harm, stress and lots more.

Mum - Programme Co-ordinator for the Diploma in Violence and Trauma Studies. Now retired and just teaches the one paper – Critical Issues in Violence Studies – in the programme.Biography became interested in family violence while working as a probation officer and then later as a Family Court counselling co-ordinator. During that time she worked with a number of community groups including women's refuge and men's stopping violence programme providers.She has research interests in family violence and also the impact on students of education about violence and trauma.


While I started out reading on how to get my child to sleep I've found out that there is MUCH MUCH more to this issue that what we believe.
We have issues problems with in our lives which we are just sweeping aside...we as a society are not looking deeper we are not questioning why people tick the way they do.

WE NEED TO LOOK WE NEED TO LEARN WE NEED TO QUESTION
