What is the byAlex eye pillow made of?

A byAlex eye pillow is a pillow about 25 cm long by 10 cm wide that holds a blend of organic lavender and flax seed in a cotton inner pocket. The inside pocket is again in a beautiful byAlex velour cover (it is washable). At 200 grams, the pillow is heavy enough to lie wonderfully over your face and fill the hollow spaces. In addition, it blocks all light from the environment. Another name for a lavender eye pillow is called a yoga eye mask or a meditation face pillow because it is often used during meditation exercises, yoga nidra or shavasena.

Lavender for aromatherapy

The eye pads are filled with a combination of flaxseed and organic lavender. The lavender provides a wonderful aroma that is soothing, allowing your body to relax extra deeply. If the pillow lies well over your eyes, the lavender scent will naturally reach your nose. If you want a little more fragrance, squeeze the pouch a few times. Then the wonderful aroma is released again. The flaxseed makes the eye pad feel nice and heavy and conforms perfectly to the shape of your face. This makes it completely dark. A pillow that is too light or too narrow does not block all the light, making it harder for you to relax.

The 4 - 7 - 8 breathing for quick relaxation

Focus on your breathing: breathe calmly and deeply through your nose for 4 counts, hold your breath for 7 counts, then slowly exhale through your nose for 8 counts. While breathing, focus on the breath so that your thoughts do not wander. After 4 times you already notice that you are more relaxed.

Relaxation exercise after a busy day: backbend

This easy exercise is a fine combination with the byAlex eye pillow. Grab a meditation cushion, firm pillow or yoga block. Sit on the floor, your bed or on your thick yoga mat, and place the pouf or yoga block at the level of your lower back behind you. Lie back gently so that the lower and middle parts of your back touch the meditation cushion. Then lay your head gently on the ground. If this flexion is too violent, put a pillow under your head. Stay in this position for 3-5 minutes before coming out quietly. Use the elbows and hands to gently rise.
