The secret to rest is staying in bed in the dark with eyes closed and no external stimuli

When I was a kid, I was told I didn’t have to sleep, but I had to lie quietly with eyes closed in a darkened room for an hour each afternoon.  It worked then and it works now. Get yourself in a dark room with no light and sound, then see how much better you sleep.  I like a fan on me as well, since I find it so pleasurable.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul. ~ Rumi

Abstinence or condoms are the only other options for contraception?

I read the news at this link about the current birth control debate.  Who on the planet doesn’t know there are a gazillion ways to have mutually satisfying sex without poking anything in anywhere? (Oh right, the sheeple…)  It cracks me up the people who think kids aren’t going to have sex so they don’t educate them. They’re going to have it, it’s a natural urge, all you’re doing by not educating them is teaching them to hide things from you and grow up feeling guilty and making sex shameful for them. That’s ok, there are a lot of councilors on the planet right now clearing up the messes made by past generations. Not to worry.  We’re evolving.

Rumi on love

The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Be wild and crazy and drunk with Love, if you are too careful, Love will not find you.__ Rumi ^i^

No pearls before swine

When the remedy you have offered only increases the disease, then leave him who will not be cured, and tell your story to someone who seeks the truth.   Rumi

Become the Light

No mirror ever became iron again; No bread ever became wheat; No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light. Rumi

Flux is a natural state. Everything changes.

Flux, a noun — The natural state. Our moods change. Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.

2,000-10,000 IU Daily of Vitamin D3 Reduces Risk of Common Health Concerns

Vitamin D3 deficiency has been implicated in low mood, psychiatric and neurologic disorder.  Vitamin D3 improves cognition and immune health, bone health and the health of the musculoskeletal system. Vitamin D3 deficiency is associated with an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, some cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders and  chronic low back pain. Patients with low back pain had significantly lower Vitamin D3 levels.   Vitamin D3 deficiency precipitates and exacerbates bone disease and muscle weakness.

Are you stopping your flow of good by being ticked?

If you’re in business and not making any money and jealous of a competitor who is — you’re stopping your flow of income by being jealous and ticked and feeling there is any competition. In fact, if you are ticked at anything, you’re putting a kink in your hose and stopping the flow of good into your life. Yep, just you. You’re that powerful.
