Mythos & Marginalia

life notes between the lines and along the edges


Above The Heart

One pillow or two? Maybe more?
Well less might be best. Sometimes
even the softest pillow can elevate
your head, or bend your neck, in
ways that will restrict air, and the
flow of dreams.
Flat neck, flat spine, flat on your
back some of the time. You may
want to take an extra pillow or three
and prop up the feet systematically.
Elevating your legs above heart level
can do wonders for your circulation.
Eight to 12 inches above the heart
for about 20 minutes.
It works wonders, it has been said,
especially for those on their feet
all day.
I also think it allows the stuff dreams
are made of time to recirculate more
readily. A little pampering in bed for
thoughts running through the head.
