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.

5 months

Wow we have made it to here.
What a GREAT ride so far.
I cant' believe how I feel. Its just been getting better and better everyday.
My current reading has been helping me, or getting me on to a path of healing. I feel over the past year or so of my blogging and reading on parenting styles and discovering for my self I finaly understand why I am they way I am.
But now...its the fixing stage.
All while being a parent
Jon Kabit Zinn's "Where ever you go there you are" has been a great start. Along with Everyday Blessings.
I'm really busy at the moment doing a lot of sewing and just being....but blogging is not far from my mind.

Hamish is crawling after Ara.
Ara is learning about having a baby.
I'm learning about life
Living moment by moment and getting so much more time.

Yes today he managed to get up and walk around the foot stool.
He's just too little and it looks really odd.
