To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
Imagining a blanket made of love enveloping you: resting in child’s pose at bedtime for a good night sleep
Published November 15, 2011 | 
I just love this idea from yoga therapist Kate Vogt (found in the December issue of Yoga Journal, p. 28)
Get in child’s pose either on the floor, yoga mat, or on your bed. Child’s pose is having your knees wide apart and forehead resting on your hands.
Now, imagine a blanket made of infinite love covering you.
Let your head relax onto your hands.
Tell your skin, muscles, and organs that they are free from the demands of the day (no more multi-tasking or the need to be on the alert).
Now it is time for rest.
Settle into this cocoon and rest for at least a minute.
Good night!

Six things I am learning from my Bikram Yoga practice
Published October 19, 2011 | 
I started going to Bikram Yoga last summer, four months ago exactly.
What am I learning as I continue this practice?
1. To respect my body
2. My body may feel differently on any given day
3. It is bliss to empty my mind for a little while
4. I am important and it is necessary to take care of my health
5. Things that initially seem impossible become doable with practice and persistence
6. I sure do sleep well if I go to my yoga class!
In peace,
Debra
