Soothing Pod

 


The other day I downloaded a free meditation app from the app store, soothing pod. I've not had much luck with free apps. Normally they either aren't very good or drive you insane with ads, so I didn't expect much. As it turned out, the good reviews were real and this app is a keeper as far as I am concerned! There are absolutely no ads on this app! There aren't even any in-app purchases, anything listed in the app is totally free for you to use! 

There is so much in this app! Not just the meditation, but also music, sounds and bedtime stories! The top image is a screenshot of some of the sound section. 

So far the meditations I have used are pretty short, like around 6 minutes, but there are many more that I haven't tried. They are very simple and yet I find them helpful compared to trying to meditate by myself. There are probably more complex ones, but I have just been using the beginner ones so far. 


The music is also very relaxing and nice. There are many choices, this is a screen shot of a few. 


Last night I tried a bedtime story, the life of Vikings! I loved it! The man telling about the daily life of vikings had the most calming voice and meditative breathing was incorporated into the beginning of the story. I only made it through hearing about the Viking village and them waking and having breakfast before I was too sleepy to continue. I can't wait to finish this story and there are so many more! Fiction, non-fiction, bios, romance, children's stories. 


I loved the bedtime stories and sleep meditation so much that I ended up buying this bluetooth sleep headset in purple so I can fall asleep while listening!

  In September 2021 I spotted this UFO. I described it at my other blog, Lesley Land, because the photos didn't come out great or look as it did with the naked eye. It seems much further away than it actually was.  The part I didn't describe is how exactly I happened to spot it and it isn't the first time I have happened to spot a UFO in that manner. I was sitting on the front steps, minding my own business and totally into whatever I was doing on my phone at the time when I started to get the feeling that someone was watching me. A ridiculous notion since there is a very high wall around the front of my house and the entire yard is walled and fenced. I look up from my phone anyway and my eyes go up and there it is in the sky right in front of me! I immediately start trying to get a good photo or video since my phone is right there in my hands. I tried for several minutes, never got a good one. Then I stuck my head in the door and called for Brit so he could see it also and

Tamed Wild Seasonal Box #2

Image
  I just realized #3 will be on the way soon and I hadn't said anything about #2! I was as impressed with the second box as I was with the first! Since I have already put it away I will just mention a few of my favorite things from it!  First off, I loved the seasonal journal again! So much great stuff in it!  Then there was this adorable set of mini gemstone carvings! The aventurine (I think) mushroom was my favorite, the shapes are standard, but the gemstone is random.  I love succulents and was happy with the Hen and Chicks plant which is one of my favorites!  I loved how adorable it was when I transplanted it into the pot and put it in the macrame hanger that were included with the box!  I know I have mentioned before how much I love the Tamed Wild card decks and this was no exception. Sure like a lot of them, this could be put into book form, but it is just cooler as a card deck, imo. This box included the Wild Moon deck! It contains 28 cards, one for each phase of the moon. O

Tamed Wild's first seasonal box finally arrived!

Image
  It was worth the wait!  Above are the small spells cards along with a bag for them! So cute! Just quick little spells that don't require much effort. I also really like the artwork on the cards, each one is different. Probably my favorite item from this box!  The above photo shows the workbook, which I will talk more about later in this post. Botanical hair rinse (calendula, rose and jasmine), the herb jar is comfrey (great for making ointments) and the little envelope contains beads for a pagan mala. I am not sure what the beads are made from, not plastic, seems like stone or glass. Too tiny for me and my old eyes, but I will make a mala with some larger beads I have and use the tassel. The jasmine and neroli soy candle and the jasmine body oil smell divine! Also, included an empty bottle for making your own potions!  Moonstone pillar and a sunstone! The pillar is a good size, about 4.5 inches and I had been wanting a moonstone pillar for months! I love sunstone too!  The new se
