Dear Reader, I'll make it easy for us all. Start thinking in the new time now. That means: Get up EARLIER Eat supper EARLIER Turn off your screens EARLIER Go to bed EARLIER I watched the time yesterday, thinking about the added hour every time I looked. It's a big change.

Dear Reader, Hey, will you give me a push? I literally asked another guest to give me (and my friend) a push when we were lounging on the swing. And guess what? If you are on the swing, I’ll happily come and give you a gentle push. I loved swings as a child and it turns out they helped me regulate my nervous system. They also answered the call of the high sensation seeker in me… Look how high, I think I could fly! This swing is the first place I sat down at Imiloa on my own retreat. I even...

We explored practical ways to return to the heart through breath, posture,...
