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.

How do you listen?

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.

Fighting the cough

I am so up to here with it!!!
This cough has been SOOOO horrible.
Ara started with it...to Dave....to Me and now Hamish.
We've still all got it.
We've never had any thing like this.
I can't lay down I rattle.
Ara sounds like she drowning some times.
There is no where in our house far enough away from each other.
I've been sleeping in the rocking chair with Hamish beside me in the hammock.
Dave's moved into Ara's room and when Ara wakes up she moves in with Dave.
So the CAT has the full Super King bed all to him self.

I'm here...but I'm foggy
