YOGANIDRA

Most experts say the “magic” sleep number is between seven and nine hours a night. Get this amount, and you’ll bounce out of bed refreshed, chipper and ready to take on the day. In reality, most Americans do not get even eight hours of sleep a night (only 26 percent do, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF)) and this lack of sleep is affecting our lives.

• 67 percent of women say they frequently experience a sleep problem.
• 60 percent say they only get a good night’s sleep a few nights per week or less
• 43 percent say that daytime sleepiness interferes with their daily activities

In fact, according to NSF, this lack of sleep is causing women (and likely many men) to feel stressed out, be late for work, feel too tired for sex and have very little time for their friends.

Of course, this isn’t just a matter of getting to bed at a reasonable hour. As many as one in 10 Americans have chronic insomnia, according to the Mayo Clinic, and at least one in four has difficulty sleeping sometimes. Insomnia includes not only difficulty in falling asleep at night, but also waking up during the night or waking up too early.

Though there are physical reasons why people have trouble sleeping, often it’s emotional issues that get in the way of a better night’s sleep. Common emotional causes of insomnia include:

• Stress (your mind is racing thinking about tomorrow’s to-do list)
• Depression
• Anxiety

And while most everyone has been kept awake at one point or another because of an argument or worry, if you’re having trouble sleeping on a regular basis then your emotions may be sabotaging your good night’s sleep.

If you often find yourself lying in bed with your mind racing, unable to sleep because of fear, anxiety, sadness or worry, give The Yoganidra a try. This easy-to-learn, do-it-yourself system will show you how to tap your natural ability to let go of any unwanted feeling you may have that is keeping you from being a sound sleeper.

Ironically, one of the first things that you’ll learn from The Yoganidra is that trying to get your mind to stop racing will only make things worse.

“First off stop trying to get your mind to stop racing. When you try to stop a racing mind, your mind simply races more -- and the trying to stop it becomes more racing thoughts,” .

“The simplest way to stop a racing mind is to welcome whatever is arising in the mind, and then also welcome the silence in which the thoughts are appearing. As you go back and forth between welcoming the thoughts and the silence, your mind will quiet and you will easily fall asleep,” he continues.

Finally, these top sleep tips work excellently when teamed with The Yoganidra to get a truly better night’s sleep:

• Write down your tasks for tomorrow before you go to bed. That way, you don’t have to keep going over them in your mind.
• Create a bedtime routine that relaxes you (such as taking a warm bath, reading something spiritual or soothing, and drinking a cup of herbal tea).
• Keep your bedroom cool (not cold) and very dark. It’s easier to sleep that way.
• Exercise. The activity helps you to feel tired (in a good way) in the evening.

Does this sound familiar? If you have ever felt like this - long to have boundless energy and be a sound sleeper, you are not alone—and there is real and lasting help in the form of The Yoganidra. The Yoganidra is a powerful tool for letting go of all that gets in the way of a good night’s sleep or keeps you from your optimal energy level in the morning.

When you feel unable to fall asleep or are “overtired” any time during the day, simply ask yourself the easy-to-learn and easy-to-remember questions that make up The Yoganidra. You will immediately feel the tightness leaving your back, shoulders and chest. In its place, you will feel warmth and relaxation.

You will no longer feel exhausted. Instead, you will learn how to let go and feel more relaxed, alive and at ease. The noise of your mind will subside, and you will have the peace of mind either to drift off into a blissfully, peaceful sleep at night or tap into an abundance of energy to function at your best throughout your day.

There are two common treatments for sleep insomnia and other sleep disorders: medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. There is also a third, highly-effective and reasonably priced alternative to both of these approaches called The Yoganidra. The Yoganidra can help you get better, faster results out of whatever treatment program you are currently using. It is a non-drug, non-medical alternative for breaking free of the debilitating effects of low energy and lack of sleep.

Usually, the first place those with trouble sleeping turn to is over-the-counter or prescription medications. Sleeping aids usually help when there is only occasional sleeping trouble.

Sleeping aids, when misused, often become ineffective and/or habit-forming. Additionally, stronger drugs frequently come with many side effects. Worst of all, sleeping aids do not cure the unresolved thoughts and feelings that are causing your sleeping trouble.

Please note : If you are using any prescription medications for your sleep disorder, please consult with your physician before changing or discontinuing their use.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an action-oriented form of psychosocial therapy that assumes that maladaptive, or faulty, thinking patterns cause maladaptive behavior and "negative" emotions. The treatment focuses on changing an individual's thoughts in order to change his or her behavior and emotional state. This can be a long, costly and painful process.

The scientifically proven Yoganidra is an elegant, easy-to-learn, do-it-yourself system that will show you how to tap your natural ability to let go of any unwanted feeling you may have that is keeping you from being a sound sleeper. It can be used in life to get immediate relief from your symptoms whenever any uncomfortable feeling or sleep difficulty arises. The Yoganidra helps you to easily break the patterns of thought and behavior that cause these problems to reoccur.

As you use the Method, you will find over time that the very situations and experiences that you used to find the most exhausting or disturbing will become less and less so, until you may even forget that you used to have those kinds of experiences of Pranayam & Tratak.

By now, you’ve probably decided that you’re either an early riser or a night owl. Early risers spring out of bed at 5 a.m. , eager to get going. Night owls, of course, could not drag themselves out of bed at 5 a.m. for even the most important event.

While there is considerable debate over whether it’s better to be an early riser than a night owl, it’s known that your preference for one over the other has to do with your circadian rhythm, or internal body clock. Your circadian rhythm regulates your sleep/wake cycle, and controls the release of hormones to get you going in the morning.

For some people, it’s possible that their circadian rhythm responds to the outside world in a slightly different way, making some of us prefer late nights and other early mornings.

"About half the population is neither one nor the other,". "About 10 percent are extreme morning or evening types. Most people are somewhere in between."

Assuming you are not a night owl or an early riser, but are somewhere in the middle, should you strive to become a morning person (assuming you are not a shift worker and actually have this option)? According to some experts, yes.

Numerous productivity experts swear by the powers of getting up early to make the most of your day. And, according to Psychology survay, “early risers are more agreeable than those who prefer the P.M. hours,” and “morning people also have more stable personalities and lower levels of aggression.”

These findings support the idea, according to Psychology Today, that the feel-good hormone serotonin plays a role in keeping your circadian rhythm “regular,” while at the same time keeping your mood stable. This may explain why people who naturally wake up early, and fall asleep at a reasonable hour, seem to also have more agreeable personalities.

Similarly, adolescents who prefer to stay up late and sleep in may have more behavioral problems than those who like to wake early, according to Pennsylvania State University researchers.

“A preference for evening activities and staying up late is related to problem behavior and is evident even in preteens,” said study co-author Dr. Elizabeth J Susman.

For night owls, becoming someone who springs out of bed as soon as the first morning sunlight filters through the shades may seem impossible, but rest assured that with Yoganidra, you will be able to do it..

“Often night owls cannot get to sleep early because their minds are still racing from the day or they have simply gotten into a different sleep pattern that has now become a habit,” .“The best way to break this cycle is to release when you are trying to fall asleep, which very quickly slows down your mind and allows for clear, restful sleep”.

The Yoganidra will show you how to tap into your inner ability to release so you can relax and slumber earlier in the evening. You can focus on letting go of:

The more you release, the more both the duration and the quality of your sleep will increase. Soon you’ll find that you’re naturally waking earlier, with increased energy.

How to Wake Up: Seven Secrets to Start Your Morning
so Your Day is Bright and Productive

From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you are setting the tone for your entire day. Ideally, we would all wake up naturally with the morning sun, stretch, smile and get out of bed, ready and eager to begin our day.

Of course, in reality, most of us begin our days being startled awake by a buzzing alarm, hitting the snooze button as many times as we can get away with, then groggily dragging ourselves out of bed. Usually, then realizing that we’ve slept in too late, we begin a mad dash of teeth brushing, lunch packing and coffee making before heading out the door in a completely frazzled state.

We do this because we think there’s no alternative. We haven’t been blessed with the “early riser” gene. We have too much to do in the evening to go to bed early. And we have too much to do in the morning to feel relaxed or refreshed.

The truth is, though, that there is definitely an alternative, and all of us are capable of waking up and beginning our day calmly, peacefully and energetically. The secrets of doing so lie in establishing a routine that works for you, while learning to release burdensome thoughts that are holding you back.

Right now you may think it’s impossible that you could be a morning person, but if you apply the tips below, you’ll be on your way to loving not only the morning but the rest of your day as well.

1. Prepare for your day emotionally. Upon waking, take just a few minutes to release any negative thoughts you have about your day. Releasing is a process taught by The Yoganidra, which allows you to let go of inner anxieties, fears, procrastination and more, so you are free to pursue what’s most important to you.

“Start by spending a few minutes in the morning releasing on the tasks and activities of the day,”. “Take one item at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed, and then let go of the uncomfortable feelings you have about it. Then simply move on to the next item.”

You should release first thing in the morning whether you think you feel anxious or not, because deep-down we all have feelings about our upcoming day.

“Even people who wake up feeling great should release. Everyone has feelings about their day – even if some of them are more subtle. If you are already feeling great and you let go of your day’s tasks, you will simply feel better and be more energized and optimistic,”.

2. Make a to-do list the night before. By planning out your goals for the day the night before, you don’t need to spend any time in the morning sorting things out. Your game plane will already be established. A to-do list also makes it simple to let go of any fears or anxiety you have about your day.

“l would release on each item on your to-do list,” . “If you start your day with releasing it makes the whole day go more smoothly. Even if you have very little extra time in the morning, just a few minutes of releasing will make a huge difference.”

3. Get up at the same time. Though it’s tempting to sleep in on the weekends, you’ll be better off if you get up at the same time, seven days a week. When you do this, your body will adjust to your wake-up schedule, and you’ll likely even start to wake up around that time naturally, without an alarm clock.

4. Eat breakfast. Your body needs fuel to replenish its supplies in the morning, and without breakfast you’ll likely start fading long before lunchtime. Ideally, get up early enough so you have a few minutes to sit down with your family and eat breakfast together.

5. Avoid hitting the snooze button. It may feel good in the moment to hit the snooze button and drift off for another eight minutes, but it could actually make you groggier. Hitting snooze is also a good way to sleep in way too long and make yourself late. Your best bet is to not even entertain the notion of sleeping in, just get up as soon as your alarm clock goes off. (If you have trouble doing this, put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to turn it off.)

6. Do a little bit of stretching. Your body may be tight from sleeping, and stretching a bit is very invigorating both physically and mentally. If you have the time, the morning also makes a great time to do a longer workout.

7. Turn on some music…not the TV. Turning on the TV in the morning is a surefire way to turn your mind into “blah” mode (and perhaps angry or sad mode depending on what’s on the morning news). Turning on some music you enjoy, on the other hand, will help to wake you up, inspire your soul and energize your mind and body.
