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.

Why do we have children?

I've just been over at Spain Dad's blog reading a few posts on their adoption trials in Spain.
And he made a good point

My reply
"You have such a good point...why did/do we have our own children? Why did I have Ara my daughter? You've really made me think. Off the top of my head...it would be love. To love and care, to share, to watch grow and teach my beliefs, morals and ideas of living. But most of all love and know that once I'm gone my love will keep on going, for my children will keep that love and pass it on.

I know this is my view on why I want children and there is probably a lot more in there than what I've just written above...but why do we have children?...its such a complex question...and would we have them again knowing what we know?....would we learn more before we became parents? could we learn more or do we need our children to teach us and show us the way?

My posting as I am kept awake by heaps of practice surges aka braxton hicks...and I want Dave to be asleep before I get to bed and start snoring.
