When I’m at the weekend Mower’s Meadow Flea Market in Woodstock, I always take a short walk around the grounds to see what treasures and goodies are available.\u00a0 Last weekend, I found several handmade asphidity bags in the back corner booth.<\/p>\n

They were just sitting there on a table among the Western Boots, Turquoise jewelry,\u00a0 pre-owned furs, and pillbox hats.<\/p>\n

WOW! – I haven’t seen one of these in years.\u00a0 No, I correct myself.\u00a0 It’s been decades. I immediately bought three.\u00a0 I’ll fill them with herbs and spices and give them to my daughters this coming December.<\/p>\n

Actually, I shouldn’t wait until December.\u00a0 Summers are really hard on everyone.\u00a0 Maybe I should give these bags to them now.\u00a0 After all, today’s challenges are very real and December’s worries aren’t yet on the horizon.<\/p>\n

When I was growing up – a long, long time ago – my grandmother had an asphidity bag.\u00a0 She filled it with herbs and spices which she changed to meet the needs of the season, or the situation.\u00a0 She kept her bag tied to her underclothes.<\/p>\n

Fasting forward to today, my daughters are having trouble sleeping this year.\u00a0 \u00a0 An asphidity bag can be created just for this situation.<\/p>\n

Do you have trouble sleeping?\u00a0 Well, make an asphidity bag just for yourself and your situation.\u00a0 Here’s how:<\/p>\n

Begin by describing exactly what a perfect night’s sleep means to you.\u00a0 How long do you want to sleep?\u00a0 How deeply do you want your sleep night to be?\u00a0 What do you want to dream about?\u00a0 How do you want to feel when you wake up?<\/p>\n

In Step 2, you select the herbs which smell fragrant and calming.\u00a0 For me, these herbs include lavender, chamomile, rose petals.\u00a0 I also include\u00a0 peppermint and lemon in this list. Your list may be different.\u00a0 (That’s the beauty of the asphidity bag).<\/p>\n

Now, make a cloth square measuring about 5 inches.<\/p>\n

When your square is cut, place your herbs in the center of the square.\u00a0 Using a ribbon, tie the herbs as well as your good intentions in this bag.\u00a0 Visualize all the good things you need for a successful night’s sleep.\u00a0 Draw these elements toward your sleep as you tie them in your asfidity bag along with your herbs.<\/p>\n

Place your asfidity bag inside your pillowcase.\u00a0 Or keep it in a pocket in your clothes.\u00a0 Wherever you keep your bag, when you go to bed at night, close your eyes and visualize the details you’ve gathered for your best sleep.\u00a0 Focus on your breath and the scent of your asfidity bag to launch you into your intentional sleep.<\/p>\n

Finally, embrace your sleep!<\/p>\n

If you enjoy the blog, you’ll enjoy my weekly shows on YOUTUBE.\u00a0 This program has been running, with a few time-outs now and then, for over 15 years.\u00a0 My program is aired weekly on Woodstock’s own TV channel 23 and on YOUTUBE.\u00a0 This show is an entertaining and informative hour with no rehearsals.<\/p>\n

My guests are various people whose lives have brought them to Woodstock for a day, a week, an hour, a decade or more.<\/p>\n

I can truthfully boast that my guests report they enjoyed the experience and will be happy to return.<\/p>\n

Both the blog and the show are a means to healing for viewers and healers.<\/p>\n

Thanks for joining in!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S.\u00a0 Whenever I use an aspifidity bag, whether it’s for sleep or combating an infection or offering solace to my intestinal system, I schedule reflexology and reiki sessions.<\/p>\n
