The Tooth, The Whole Tooth, And Nothing But The Tooth

To us adults, losing a tooth is scary. The mind cannot stay away from toothless witches, beggars, and the overwhelming dental costs. We hopefully try to protect our teeth from any kind of fall. But for kids, there is even more at stake. Three seemingly insurmountable questions are: how will the tooth come out, how will the tooth fairy get it, and how will money be received for the sacrifice of the tooth?

Our daughter Lailee had a wiggly tooth, and in every mirror, in every spare moment, she was amazed at how it wiggled. Why not, kids and movement, they are a team. The roadblock came with the apple…and the carrots…and whatever else is healthy to eat—which leaves the squishy stuff like ice cream, pudding, and jello. Lailee knew that with crunchy food swallowing whole was not the way to lose a tooth.  Well, for sure, how many adults do get “squeamish” about swallowing the potential bones in canned salmon croquettes and loafs? Then there’s peanut butter sandwiches, but you might as well go to a dentist and get it pulled, or use the string and door fable.

Days went by and fears began to mount about would the tooth really come out, or was that a joke, and will the tooth fairy really come, or was that a joke. We decided to keep both ideas in the same trench, for now.

The upcoming tooth event prompted a lot of contemplation and learning. The value of a tooth to a tooth fairy seems to have gone up these days with everything else. How does the good fairy know if that potential tooth will bring in , or more? This is truly a ponderous decision to make…thinking about the succession of teeth (are there 25 or 32), and the total expenditures, or collections—whichever side you are on. We decided ahead of time to low ball at .00 just to be over the cheep .00 mark.

For Lailee, there was an insistence on preplanning. This was a good use of cause and effect as to how the pillow on top of the tooth will manage to protect the tooth but not prevent the fairy from finding it and leaving the treasure. Lailee decided, ahead of time, that she will provide a clean pillow case– so the fairy will smile, a nightlight– so there will be no mistaking as to who lost the tooth, and a gift beside the bed of (not candy or cookies) a wind up toy to make sure the fairy will be in a good mood for giving.

One day Lailee came home with a gap and a wail. The tooth was a goner. It bounced onto the playground at recess and now there was no evidence for the fairy. This was a tragedy…but as the sunny day provided a beam of light streaming through the glass door, and revealing an orange seed on the floor–a bit battered by the cats–miraculously, we knew we had a good tooth substitute. It will work, it will be fine, and we tried to convince her—to no avail.

Our luck, and to her credit, Lailee decided a last resort was to write a note to explain herself to the tooth fairy, and leave it under the pillow. Later during the night we retrieved the note that said: Dear Tooth Fairy. I am sorry this is a seed. My friend Justin knocked out my tooth at recess, and I couldn’t find it. Please leave the money.

With that we had to leave her a calling card back, complete with picture, which read, “Hey Lailee, no Sweat, saw it all happen and we’re cool” T.F. and .00—one for each year of her precious candor. It always pays to be honest.

Pillows For Your Meditation

Customary pillows are usually utilized as head or neck support. Normally, the said pillows are used when sleeping or resting. These days however, pillows are also used to support one’s buttocks and back while seating and meditating. The said pillows are termed as a meditation pillow.

A pillow is a necessity while doing meditation since it aids you to maintain proper posture all throughout the session. In general, there are two types of pillow suitable for meditation use.

1.    Donut Pillows – donut is the shape of this type of pillow. The space in the center provides relief while sitting on the tailbone area.
2.    Lumbar Pillows – this is used to maintain and support the lower back.  

Donut and Lumbar pillows fall under the category of orthopedic pillows that serves its purposes for support and treatment.

Any other pillow may not be appropriate for you and the task you will be undertaking. There are considerations you need to mull over when choosing a meditation pillow. One important pillow factor to consider is the place of meditation.  

Where to Meditate

The place of meditation is an important consideration when choosing a pillow. You will have to select the appropriate pillow that will be well suited with the place.

Many practitioners undergo their meditation process on hard surfaces. A floor made of concrete or wood are examples of a hard surface area. A two-stage pillow is apt for this kind of flooring. A firm foam is the usual base of the said pillow while the top is filled in with synthetic materials.

On the other hand, there are individuals who prefer to meditate on grass or grass-like areas. A gentle pillow that is filled with smooth material is well recommended for grass areas meditation. It is also best to choose a pillow with nylon as its base. Additionally, machine-wash compatible pillow is recommended since such pillow is prone to dirt.  

Other considerations that can be taken into account are:

What’s In a Pillow?

There is wide-array of pillow fillers. You must choose a pillow with the appropriate filler to use for meditation. Foam may be hard for you or perhaps feather-fillers may be too supple.

The most common pillow filling are feathers, foam, and synthetically made fillers.

Pillowcases cover the pillow fills. The choices of pillowcases vary from one person to the other. You need to choose a pillowcase that will not be infuriating. If a green pillowcase adds bothersome to you, why choose green when you can opt for purple or any other color.

An inappropriate type of pillow can cause uneasiness that will then lead to distraction. Use a pillow that can withstand your weight and most importantly can provide support to your back. If you are slumping on the pillow or you feel yourself moving into the floor, then those are signs that the pillow is badly chosen. Instead of meditation, you might end up accumulating more worries.  

Several pillow manufacturers offer meditation pillow. All you need to do is assess its features for you to decide which will best suit your need. The internet is a good venue for you to scout meditation pillows.

Why the Popularity of Neck Pillows Has Increased so Fast

Just like for many other therapeutically effective items, neck pillows have a unique design that favors a correct resting position of the head during sleep. Scientific studies have revealed the fact that there is a close connection between the sleeping pattern, the neck position and the quality of the sleep as such. Do you often get up with a pain in the cervical area? Well, this is actually caused by an incorrect position of the neck during sleep; the solution would be that of starting using neck pillows right away, instead of the regular models that have caused you the problem in the first place.

The severe issue about pains in the cervical region is that they can easily extend on the lower parts of the back, as tension accumulates in the muscles. Unlike regular pillows that force the head to remain either in a too low or a too high position, neck pillows ensure the correct alignment of the head, the neck and the rest of the body. If with a common pillow your head is likely to roll sideway, neck pillows will prevent it from happening, thus helping you stay away from spinal damage that is likely to occur if proper measures are not taken immediately.

Feathers are no longer the most common material used for the stuffing of the pillows we sleep on; scientific development has made it possible to use more advanced primary matter for the fabrication of such items. Elastic memory foam is the substance that neck pillows are usually made of: the body shape and the natural anatomical details remain imprinted in the foam, so that your head is always maintained in the right position. Without the use of neck pillows, the common tendency is to alter the correct curvature of the spine during sleep by staying in a completely incorrect position.

The popularity of neck pillows increased once alarming numbers of people with cervical or spinal problems were revealed. Improper sleep positions do not allow the muscles to relax and release the tension accumulated during the day; this is the major reason why pains and discomfort are felt sometimes on a regular basis in the morning. Consequently, the alternative to your regular pillows would be the use of neck pillows, which will ensure a sound sleep free of discomfort and future health risks. Neck pillows are items that can immediately be ordered on the Internet and shipped to your home within 24 hours: have a look on sites that sell them and see if they’re worth buying.
