Quiet Your Mind
For those of you who like me suffer from insomnia the process of falling to sleep can be a harrowing experience. Lying awake in the bed with the mind wandering everywhere while the body demands sleep is truly distressing. The more this stress accumulates the lesser the chances of falling into slumber.
Meditation Can Promote Good Sleep
Meditation is seen as a technique that encourages and promotes relaxation. Just a few minutes of meditation before bed time on a regular basis can improve the chances of falling into deep and restful sleep.
In fact, a study was conducted on a group of people suffering from insomnia who averaged 75.6 minutes of waking time before they finally fell asleep. After 30 days of learning and practicing meditation they were falling asleep within 15.1 minutes.
People who practice meditation say that with time their sleep got deeper and more refreshing. They also felt more alert and relaxed throughout the day.
A Simple Technique Of Meditation
Sit in a comfortable seat or lie down with your spine straight. Place your hands a few inches in front of the brow point, with the backs of the hands facing you. Now, fix your eyes on the white of your thumb tips and get a clear mental image of your thumbs. Then close your eyes and visualize your thumb tips mentally.
Let your mind meditate on the sound “Sat” (Sanskrit for “truth”) as you inhale, and think “Nam” (meaning “the expression of your truth”) as you exhale. Continue like this for 5-11 minutes.
Finally, touch the tongue to the roof of the mouth, gently swallow, softly float your eyes open and lay down for a deep sleep.
Meditation does take some time to show results, so be patient. Some people experience quick, dramatic improvements in their insomnia while others take longer. There are many methods of meditation and this is just one of them. You can research and experiment other methods and find the one that works best for you.
