How to Maintain Healthy Sleeping Habits during Stressful and Difficult Times
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rise in the number of people reporting having trouble sleeping or having bad dreams and nightmares. And this comes as no surprise, considering that the entire world is currently in the same or at least similar situation: people are living in isolation, their habits have changed, and both social and economic crisis feels like impending doom.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Free Weekly Reading #23
Reading for 5-18 thru 5-24-20 The Center card this week is The Fool. The number above the Fool’s head is the zero. The zero represents the Void, that into which all things are created, and signifies the Beginning. The Fool is the first card in a Tarot deck and the master of the Void. Since, in the Void, there is no-thing, all things are possible. In the Void there is no judgement, there is nothing to judge. There is no expectation, no preconceived ideas. There has been nothing to have had ideas about. As the image of the Fool on the card suggests, a young person, full of promise and energy strides forward, eyes wide open with the spiral of life swirling out from and back to his heart. All the elements are at his fingertips and even the tiger, who has clamped his jaws onto one thigh is no distraction. He has not yet learned that there are such things as distraction and so the Fool walks blithely towards the edge of a cliff with no fear at all about what might happen if his next step takes him out over a bottomless chasm. That first step, that first awareness that nothing inhibits you, nothing holds you, opens the window of thought where all things can take shape and become. The infamous “they” say watch that first step it’s a doozy! And it is. And because it has no foundation, no supporting evidence, it can be a very frightening first step. It requires a leap of faith. I’m reminded of a scene from “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” where Indiana Jones is asked to make a leap of faith over a bottomless abyss. He knows he can't go back so he takes a deep breath and a big step and his foot lands on a ledge that couldn’t be seen from his position on the lip of the precipice. Once he gets to the other side, he tosses sand and pebbles back onto the ledge so he can see it again. This, to me, is a perfect Fool moment. This is the energy that will likely dominate our interactions for the week.

Love, The Moon and Sunset...
You ever just been in such a happy state, you question what was happiness before and why it doesn’t feel like this? Well that’s everyone’s honeymoon phase of every relationship, (the first few weeks or months), and most of the time you never really have a deep conversation.

Now Everybody Knows
And how is everybody faring with lockdown measures? I'm taking precautions daily about how not to wind up with the virus. COVID-19 is a tricky devil from what I've read. I'm determined to avoid getting it, so I have invested my time in learning about lemongrass tea which is a gentle immune system booster having no side effects. It even tastes like lemon without the citrus chemicals that could give me heartburn. But anyway, lockdown is a measure that has been taken to prevent the infection from spreading. I'm hiding out at home until it is absolutely safe to go out. I have a physical therapy in-person appointment coming up at the end of this month.
