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.

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.

The Hero of my hour


Ara my daughter.

I'm in deep over my head with filling my children's needs and leaving my own. I've been saying "yup I'll get to it when they are well" but never seem to get round to it.
I've had my melt down and now its time to get better.

I've had a bit self talk this morning while in the rocking chair about unconditional love. There is no levels/limits/time slots there is just filling another's need.....BUT also finding ways to fill your own - and here is the issue - AT THE SAME TIME.
For every time we put limits on our love the need is never meet and just grows into something more....so its best to get it sooner rather than snow balling.

Its about letting go
Its about the Non doing
Its about living in the moment
Its about love

Thank you Ara for showing me yet again.

Hey Megan
I've just dusted off my old blog - took me about 20min to find my way round it again! So glad to see you're still here, I haven't visited PBTS for way too long!
Hope you're all well and happy!
