Relaxation Tool: Eye Pillow

I tried an eye pillow for the first time in March at a yoga retreat. My instructor had told me that I would need to get one in preparation for the trip. I had no idea what an eye pillow was, and she told me it would change my life. Well, it did. I find my Half Moon eye pillow to be a great tool for relaxation and for getting back to sleep if disturbed.
I'm sure there are a few different types and makers of eye pillows available on the market. I can speak of mine, which is made by Half Moon. It is filled with flaxseeds and lavender. I find the weight of the pillow on my eyes and the scent of lavender to be most relaxing. Relaxation is something we all need more of, so anything that aids being calm and relaxed is a trainer's pick.
