Go to the pasture

It is important to spend more time in nature before the wedding. This can be done, for example, by going on a hike, which my husband and I do we discovered as a blessed time for ourselves. We sometimes walk and are silent along the way, each of us entering into himself and his thoughts. You are watching nature, its change, notice new colors and shades.

Meditation before sleep

Improving the quality of sleep – meditation before sleep. As the important day approaches, the sleep will become more and more shallow and more anxious, because thoughts about the wedding day can take over day and night. Meditation practices can help you fall asleep more easily. If you are a beginner in this field, I recommend using the application Headspace or one of the YouTube channels, for example Pura Rasa Your Meditation Library Sleep Meditation . Ventilate the bedroom, turn off the lights and noises and listen to the words of the meditation. Along with a deep breath follow the meditation leader and after ten minutes you will feel your thoughts drifting away. Quality sleep is definitely the basis for the next day to go by as energetically as possible. During sleep, our memory improves, the nervous system stabilizes, and the body rests. Lai savā kāzu dienā uzmirdzētu ar never seen beauty in the eyes of the future husband, you definitely need a good night's sleep.
