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.

Breastfeeding forgotten joys

My eyes are a little crossed with being tried but life goes on and this has been on my mind.
The different styles of baby feeding is just so cute.

The bull dog
Push the nose hard up against the breast (bull dog look with wrinkles and big cheeks) 
Eyes shut and frowning
Pull nipple in every angle...don't let go now
Growl right back behind the nose
Kick with the legs together into Mum's tummy

The singer
Place a hand on each side of the breast
Nipple in mouth lovingly
Really sing it now... hum in as many octaves as you can...little squeals go well too
Get your hips and bottom into the best wiggle you can

Praying
Eyes closed with clear face
Hands clasp together under the breast
Sometimes hum monk like

Thats is for now...just trying to keep mind and body together.

I always think about the different ways babies nurse too. It's amazing how well in-tune we become w/our babies through nursing. I love it!
