A good night's sleep


"Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep."-Mohandas Gandhi

Morgan's recipe for a fabulous night's sleep:

1. Set your sleeping and waking intentions, for example: "I sleep soundly at ten PM and wake up feeling vibrant and rested at 6am"
2. Take a body inventory...what aches? what needs love? google a quick yoga sequence on youtube and spend 15-20 minutes in long holds opening your shoulders, nourishing your aching quads, flexing and pointing your feet.
3. Eat a nutritious meal no later than 3 hours before bed.
4. Get cozy. Wear something soft and lovely. Darken the room completely. Stop playing on the internet a half hour before bed. focus on your breath.

How do you prepare for sleep? Has it been successful? Do you do any of the above and if so does it help? Take a little inventory, shift some of your practices, and see what comes up for you. I am mainly writing this because it wouldn't hurt for me to revisit this list often.

Oh yes! and happy halloween.
