TODAY'S LEARNINGSleep Meditation

Meditation is a strong and useful way to help people sleep and get to sleep when they can't. Meditation can help you sleep better and get to sleep faster in a number of ways. The main way is by calming the mind to reduce stress, worry, and anxiety. There are many different mental and physical things that can cause insomnia. No matter what the cause is, meditation can help you sleep by getting rid of or reducing worry and anxiety. Guided meditation is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get a deep, peaceful sleep. Most guided meditations use a gentle voice and slow, relaxing sounds or music to help you slow down your mind, let go of worries, and deeply rest your body.

How to do a guided meditation for sleep

Choose a guided meditation on video or another audio, ideally for sleep.

Disconnect from any diversions, reduce or turn off the lights, and take any other steps necessary to get ready for bed.

Find a comfortable spot to rest.

Reduce the brightness of your phone's or other device's screen if you're using it for guided meditation. Make sure the gadget is connected in if you're using it as an alarm clock.

To effortlessly fall asleep after the recording is finished, make sure the autoplay feature is disabled.

As the video begins, concentrate on letting your body rest and taking slow, deep breaths.

The person's speech and other noises in the recording should command your full focus. If your thoughts stray, kindly guide them back to the audio.

Here are some great guided meditations to try out:

TOGETHER WITH 2 HOUNDS DESIGNShop the Award Winning Freedom No-Pull Harness

"Game Changer!", "Like Magic", "I LOVE walking my dog again!"

These are a few of the things we hear from customers after their first walk with the Freedom No-Pull Harness.

Ditch the front-connection-only harnesses that jerk them around and flip them forward. With the Freedom Harness, you get the “power steering” control of a front connection point, with the stability and comfort of a back connection point. The result is far better control, no movement restriction for your pup, and gentle compression for behavioral reinforcement — a win-win-win.

Plus every harness comes with a Swiss velvet padding for extra comfort. Add in a double connection leash and you are ready to enjoy your walks again!

All of our collars, leashes, and harnesses are proudly made in the U.S.A. with careful attention to the safety, functionality, and comfort of your dog, as well as a keen eye for design. And hey, we've been doing it for 20 years. We're kind of experts, now.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS

In Finland, a carbon-negative solution for cement is being used to make concrete. The company hopes that over the course of its life, the concrete will trap more CO2 than it uses to make.

Concrete is one of the most common building materials, but making it is one of the most carbon-intensive processes in the world.

Researchers at the VTT Technical Research Center in Finland said they wanted to make carbon-negative concrete "even though they don't know how to do it yet."

TRY IT!

YOGAPEDIAYoga Flow For Relaxation & Sleep

This yoga flow will make you more responsive to relaxation. It adheres to a natural transformation of your thoughts and bodily movements.

Before you begin- Set the objective to open your mind and body in order to relax. Create a comfortable environment and bring back your focus. When you are conscious of the process and in tune with your senses, the effects of these poses are enhanced.

1. Uttana Shishosana (Puppy Pose)

Extended Puppy Pose: With shoulder, stretch Start in Tabletop. Place your forearms on the mat with the palms flipped up toward the ceiling. Keeping your arms firmly planted, begin to walk your knees back until your arms are fully outstretched. Rest your forehead on the mat as you isometrically drag back on the forearms and keep the seat high. Let the day metaphorically slide off your back in this pose. Hold for 5 to 10 deep, slow breaths, or for as long as you’d like.

2. Parsva Balasana (Needle Pose)

Thread-the-Needle Pose: Return to Tabletop and find a neutral spine. On an inhale, lift the right arm high to the sky, opening the torso to the side while keeping your hips pointed down toward the mat. On the exhale, thread the right arm under the body, twisting the torso until the right shoulder and right side of your face touch the mat. Relax into the twist for 5 to 10 deep breaths, pressing down into the left hand to increase the intensity as you see fit. Repeat on the other side.

3. Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)

Wind-Relieving Pose: Lie on your back with your legs outstretched and your arms at your sides. On an exhale, draw the right knee into the chest, holding the leg close to your body with your hands wrapped around the knee or shin. Lift your head off the floor, bringing it as close to your right knee as you can. Hold the stretch for 5 to 10 breaths while breathing into the back body. When ready, release the right leg and repeat on the other side.

4. Supta Padangusthasana (Reclined Big Toe Pose)

Reclining Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose: variation From your back, extend the right leg into the air perpendicular to the floor, grasping behind the thigh with your hands. (If you can’t fully extend your right leg, bend at the knee while keeping the thighbone perpendicular to the floor.) Flex both feet and keep the sacrum grounded. Hold for 5 to 10 deep breaths, and then release the leg. Repeat on the other side.

5. Supta Matsyendrasana (Supine Spinal Twist Pose)

Supine Twist From your back: exhale and draw the right knee into your chest; extend your right arm onto the floor at shoulder height while gently guiding the right knee across your body until your torso twists, keeping your shoulder blades pressing toward the floor. You might turn the gaze toward the right hand as you hold the pose for 5 to 10 deep breaths. Close your eyes, and turn your attention to the rhythmic flow of your breath; no matter how many different thoughts arise, keep returning to your breath. Use this to quiet the mind in preparation for a restful night of sleep. When you feel ready, complete the pose on the opposite side.

6. Sukhasana (Easy Pose)

Easy Pose: with meditation Come to a cross-legged seat on the front edge of a thickly folded blanket. Pull back your buttock flesh until it feels like you’re grounded through both sitting bones. Rest your palms gently on your knees or thighs. Close your eyes and bring your full attention to the breath. With each inhale, imagine that you’re calling back any of your power you may have unknowingly given away to others during the day. With each exhale, imagine that you’re breathing out whatever energies or attitudes no longer serve you. Stay with this meditation until you feel an inner sense of balance emerge.
