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.

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.

Hamish walking in the rain

What a joy to hear the rain falling on the roof. To be stuck in doors is really difficult for both Ara and Hamish who have had MONTHS of no rain.
But its started to fall.
Both were so excited with the first few showers that they had to run around in it....and this is when Hamish started to do his stuff.
We've had the commando crawl, the normal crawl, the bum shuffle and the crab crawl...now its the side step and shuffle but fast becoming the...."wait for me".
With all this new learning and some new changes we've had very patchy sleep. We've had about 4 months of nonstop sickness...and now I'm VERY tired.

But we've got rain...I can wash my children their clothes and give them a glass of water.
We'll be starting the veggie garden soon...but might be too cold as winter is all but here.
