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.

History

I was talking with Dave last night about history...we've been watching "Hitlers children"...I know I find links everywhere but scary stuff when you look at how the system is set up.

Anyway
History I love! Can't get enough. Love to read, watch it, listen to it, touch it (if we can). I was wondering why we don't have it in our schools...we do sort of.
It's so important...we don't want to repeat the same mistakes we need to learn from the past. So many reasons why.

I did social studies in 3rd and 4th form. We didn't look greatly into history. Then for the rest of school nothing.
Hey that's why I love it.

We'll look into history but keep it fun
