Yoga Technique in the Bedroom

Oh...did you think this was going to be a dirty post? Shame on you! Yes, I have been reading Fifty Shades of Grey..but that doesn't mean I'm going to write about it in detail. C'mon-don't be silly! 

     This entry is merely about falling asleep using yoga technique. Some people don't consider sleep an important part of their life...but it is a priority in mine. I highly believe in recharging. Actually, it's not a belief...recharging is a necessity. I took a yoga course in college thinking it would be my "easy" class. It was actually one of my most challenging classes of the semester. I have been intrigued ever since and continue my yoga practice when I can. I am attending this yoga festival in August: You should go!

 I have difficulty falling asleep. My mind doesn't stop and sometimes I just have too much energy. There is a yoga position that can assist in falling asleep: 

    

 Shavasana (shä·väˑ·s·n),

n “corpse pose,” a component of yoga practice that promotes a state of homeostasis, thus allowing the person to release emotional and physical tension; performed at the end of all the asanas.

• Lie on your back with a small pillow under your head (you want your whole body to be mostly flat)
• Arms at side-palms facing up to the ceiling.
• Legs straight out-uncrossed. 
• I was also taught to wear an eye mask...this forces the body to know it's time for sleep. 
• Make sure your body is covered with a blanket. 

     Shavasana relaxes the body and mind; it relaxes one's organs, skin, and muscles. It has been known to cure insomnia. Why rely on medications when you can try natural remedies first? You don't have to be a yoga expert to master this pose. It requires little flexibility and experience. 

    With sincere innocence...I suggest you use yoga technique in the bedroom. Oh, and with sincere open-mindedness...I suggest you use other yoga techniques in the bedroom as well. Take that any way you would like!

We are Bad Ass

     Hi. I feel Bad Ass on a regular basis. And you should as well. No, I have not jumped out of a plane yet (one day), but there are simple daily events that should make us feel... Bad Ass. I will now refrain from cursing. I feel super Bad-A when I attempt to not cuss, although I'm not always successful. I have attempted the following activities and they have made me feel Bad-A. You should try them.  

                                                               

• Singing...anywhere. Even if you suck.
• Driving on the highway. I didn't attempt this until age 20. Why? It scared the living daylights out of me.
• Shaving. Hey, those blades are sharp-you are taking a huge risk every time you embark on this journey.  
• Smiling at a stranger. They will either smile back or they will not reciprocate. You are risking rejection while attempting to spread joy.
• Exercising. I don't care how you do this as long as it benefits your body. You go Glen-Co-Co!
• Face Mask. I don't know why, but I feel Bad-A whenever I put one on. 
• Proving someone wrong.
• Admitting when you are wrong. 
• Wake up early (before 9) and take a gorgeous picture!

Early Morning Bumble Bee

• Being that tiny little sperm that made it! That's a huge success! Congrats!
• Learning to play a challenging song on the piano...even if it's not challenging to others. 
• Attempting to try something new. You are risking failure, which is Bad-A....but only if you attempt it again.
• Dancing in public...or private..hehe.
• Learning an entire rap song. Preferably "Hoe" by Ludacris. 
• Merely getting off your lazy butt and doing SOMETHING productive. You are risking getting hit by a train or something..who knows. 
• Serving tables. Everybody needs to work in a restaurant at least once in their life. They will become a better person. 
• Travelling. It's liberating. Do it while you can. 
• Camping. Duh. 
• Hold a cloud.   
• Reading my blog. That's pretty Bad-A. You know what's even better..writing your own. You are interesting. 

Hold a Cloud. 

      Okay. If you ever feel lame...or un-Bad-A...look in the mirror and think about what you do on a daily basis. You are most likely Bad-A. If you still don't feel Bad-A...then do something about it. That, my friend, would be super Bad Ass.
