Consistency is key when it comes to getting the theming right for your ultimate winter holiday bash. Sleep quality matters, so if you don’t feel well-rested when waking up, perhaps it’s time to practice some good sleep habits.ĭo you want to go for a whimsical out of this world Christmas theme and transport guests to another world?

Sleeping in a starfish position may induce lower back pain, which interferes with your normal sleep. According to studies, only 5% of people sleep in this position. Starfish is when you lie on your back and sleep with your arms lifted up near your head. Lying on your back with your arms tight to your body is actually a good sleeping position, as it helps maintain your spine in a straight line.

He must eradicate the desire for an affluent lifestyle as a shepherd, and his yearning for acceptance among others. For Santiago, he must do the same, and release the impurities of himself in order to realize his own goal. The Alchemist describes the process of turning metal into gold as if the metal were realizing its Personal Legend. Meanwhile, his profession and performance in alchemy paints a strong parallel to Santiago's mission. He shows Santiago how to connect with the Soul of the World – an interconnectedness between living and nonliving things that have a divine connection. The Alchemist teaches the boy the importance of believing in himself and trusting his heart. The second lesson is from the Alchemist, who Santiago meets in the desert on his way to the Pyramids. The King convinces the boy to focus on finding happiness, and not stray off his path. Despite the unconditional love Santiago has for them, he expresses in a veiled way how his animals only yearn for food, water and nothing else. The flock symbolize an existence blind to their Personal Legends. He sees Santiago's sheep and takes several of them. In their encounter, he urges Santiago to continue following his Personal Legend in order to achieve true happiness.

The first lesson is from Melchizedek, who claims to be the King of Salem.
