Dayleeoga Day 2 | Because I had some rough dreams last night…

September 2, 2017dayleeo

Hah, like really, what’s that about? I’m just here trying to sleep trying to get a bit of respite from the day, from consciousness, from the demands of the world, of my time energy and attention when BAM those dreams tho.

My dreams are usually extremely wacky and surreal, just absolute visceral nonsense or solutions to problems I’ve been thinking about or ideas for new creative endeavors. And I’m pretty sure I dream every night, but sometimes, the dream gods are not so kind.

But I got there. There are two breathing exercises called breath of fire and breath of joy that I particularly love. I feel all tingly and lightheaded afterward. No idea about the science behind that but it always feels like someone clip to the tiny reset button on my positronic brain.

After that…. quiet.

And kinda this ice-cream brain freeze feeling in my forehead where they describe the 3rd eye to be? Anyone have any insight on that one? Let me know if you’ve ever experienced anything similar- I’d love to know what that’s about...

Deep thoughts?
Not today. As I said I was thankful for the quiet but on Day 2 last challenge I wrote:
