Hi Shara,
Hope you had a good day...
Your son's birthday is the same day as mine...i just noticed...Happy birthday to him.
Here is the two meditation or breathing exercises.
"Ayurvedic Meditation
Sleep disturbances are often due to worries and anxieties that keep the mind agitated at night. To help eliminate those anxieties, meditate for a while before going to sleep.
"Sit comfortably on your bed and put your attention on the "third eye" (the area on your forehead between your eyebrows).
Follow your breath in and out, or do the traditional So-Hum meditation: Inhale while thinking the syllable "So" and exhale with "Hum."
Lie on your back. Watch your breath, and continue the So-Hum meditation, focusing your mind gently on the "third eye." You will sleep like a child.
Repeat or chant soothing mantras and affirmations, such as "I sleep properly," in the morning and evening. This reduces the anxiety and fear that can interfere with normal sleeping habits.
Other forms of meditation, including the use of visualization and aromatherapy (essential oils of sandalwood, chamomile, jasmine or rose), can also be effective.
Ayurvedic breathing exercise for insomnia
Lie down in bed with the light off and allow yourself to fall asleep while doing the following breathing exercises.
Focus on deep regular breathing for a few seconds.
Give thanks for all the joys, experiences, even the trials of your day.
Keeping an awareness of your breath, get into your most comfortable sleeping position.
If you feel restless, just acknowledge that this excess energy will pass.
Continue to breathe slowly and deeply. Try to imagine what your body feels like when it is in a deep relaxing sleep and allow yourself to drift into that sleepy state.
If you wake in the night, do not get agitated, simply repeat the exercise."
Hope this will help you.
Yes, dear you have to move on.
take care

Dear One,
You are wonderful to send me this...I'm going to work on this tonight. Jeff said, Thank you and Happy Birthday to you too! Did you do something special or did you just have a quiet day to reflect? My birthday is this Saturday but I'm not wanting to celebrate. Just would like to ignor the whole idea of getting closer to sixty!
Talked(instant messenger) to my friend, Duncan in South Africa. I miss him so much but the distance seems to vanish when we communicate. He like you believes in fate and goodness.
Thank you so much for being a new part of my life.
love from Texas,
Shara
