HOW TO USE:

Eye Pillow

Choosing an eye pillow is sort of like the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” You may like an eye pillow that covers the entire forehead. Or perhaps you want one that covers only the eye lids and the bridge of the nose. Or perhaps you want one that falls somewhere in between. Why not have a collection of all sizes so that you can use them as you wish? If you are handy with a sewing machine, you can make these yourself. Eye pillows are typically filled with a mixture of flax seeds, lavender buds, and peppermint and/or chamomile leaves. The smell of this mixture can be very calming and soothing. If you do make any for yourself, please be sure to make them with a removable and washable cover to avoid eye infections from the dirt and dust that accumulate from continued use.

GOING DEEPER: THE RIGHTNESS OF PRACTICE

Much of an intelligent and creative yoga practice is getting yourself to see the wisdom of what you are doing and why. It is up to you to bring the kind of awareness to your practice that will clarify what you choose in order to make your practice meaningful. You will never know what comes from your practice if you don’t practice with devotion, concentration, and faith.
