RECIPE FOR SOOTHING HEADACHES WITH A LAVENDER AND MINT EYE PILLOW

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN LAVENDER AND MINT EYE PILLOW:

INGREDIENTS:

Flax seeds (about 1 1/2 cups)
Dried mint (about 2 tablespoons)
Dried lavender (about 3 tablespoons)
Peppermint essential oil
Lavender essential oil
(above quantities can be adjusted to suit)

Soft material, preferably cotton or silk. Enough to place across the eyes.

METHOD:

Place flax seeds, dried mint, dried lavender, a few drops of peppermint essential oil and a few drops of lavender essential oil into a mixing bowl and mix together.

Sew the sides of the material and leave an opening enough to place a funnel for pouring the above mixture into the material. Then sew the opening closed.

You do not want to make the filling to full, it should rest nice and softly on the eyes.

Flax seeds are the perfect weight for eyes and can be purchased at a health store or perhaps even the health section in your grocery store.

You can also make a pillow case for the eye pillow, this way you can wash the cover. Once the scent fades, you can simply dot a few drops of lavender onto the pillow, this will refresh it.

Laughter is the sound of play.

I loved this article sent to me so much I had to share it. It's from the "Inner Quality Tip" Newsletter from Heartmath.com . Wow... to be a kid again! THE LIGHTER SIDE Someone once told me while I was in the midst of a difficult situation, if there's the slightest chance you might look back on this some day and laugh about it, start laughing now. Granted, this doesn't always work, but it sure has helped me get through some tough times. In addition to facilitating a perceptual shift, laughter has a lot of other benefits. Studies 1 on humor and laughter from Duke University, Loma Linda University, UCLA and others have shown: Laughing helps relax tense muscles. It reduces the production of stress hormones. Laughter and a positive attitude strengthen the immune system. It allows a person to 'forget' about aches and pains and perceive pain as less intense. A good laugh is like an aerobic workout for the heart and lungs--increasing the body's ability to

Finding Peace with Unbearable People

I found a great article and exercise about How to Get Along with People You Don’t Like (And Make Your Life More Peaceful in the Process) . In a nutshell, Brian Vaszily explains the importance of identifying the people who we dislike or make us feel anything but fabulous (not usually hard to find).
