And to take it into a scientific realm- there is a therapeutic approach I read about recently called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) that actually helps people who have suffered deep trauma to reprogram their continued reaction to the memory of that event. It involves rapid movements of the eyes. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) makes a similar connection between language and body interaction. I know that when I went through a period when I had recurring nightmares I learned to shake them off quickly by moving my eyes. Fascinating isn’t it-how these old techniques are now being “discovered” and validated by medical evidence. You’ve got something there.

The older we get, and the more responsibilities we have, the harder it is to get out of bed in the morning. I even had trouble getting up on Saturday mornings by nine to make your ten o'clock yoga class! I love to luxuriate in the bed whenever I can. One thing I do, at least during the weekdays when I have to get up just after six, is the eyeball roll that you taught us in class. It really helps! You’re right about that, my friend!
