Forget about not sleeping!
Would you believe me, if I suggested you forgot about not sleeping to get you to sleep!!! Well sometimes, that is all it needs, a change of focus and a new passion!!! This morning I have been going about my business thinking about the children that I sponsor at an orphanage in southern India. I usually go every winter to see them, but this winter what with one thing and another, I can’t get there which made me so sad this morning as I thought about them and their Christmas Day. Usually, Pastor Jay (who runs the orphanage) organises a party where they have special food and the girls...
Read MoreInsomnia gone in just 21 days!!!
“If you can’t fly, then run…If you can’t run, then walk…If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, KEEP MOVING!” Dr Martin Luther King, Jr I know that if you are not sleeping well or not sleeping at all, you are developing insomnia, you will become more and more lethargic as the days, weeks and months go on. The temptation is to vegetate on the sofa in front of the TV and make a coffee, hoping that you will be revived soon. Unfortunately, its just a sensory diversion and not a very constructive way to combat lack of sleep. The body...
Read MoreInsomnia….Its in the jaw!!!
If you are pulling your hair out because you are not sleeping and your insomnia is getting worse, and you seem to have developed a problem in your neck too, there might just be a clue you had not thought of!!! THE JAW! The Massetter muscle in the jaw, which apparently is the strongest muscle in the body having the capacity to produce a bite strength of 974 pounds (measured in the Guiness book of records). Mr and Mrs average, however (that is you and me) have a bite strength of between 117 and 265 pounds. That is still very, very strong!! Although you may not be aware of grinding your...
Read MoreHow to get to sleep!
How to get to sleep is a very common question, in fact 1,500,000 people are searching on google ‘how to get rid of insomnia’, per month, so, ‘a’, its a hot topic, and ‘b’, you are not alone!! Why is sleep so elusive to so many people? In my opinion, its a question of balance (99% of the time) and because we live in such turbulent times, its not really surprising that such a large percentage of the population are suffering. Everyone wants to be able to wave a magic wand, close their eyes and go to sleep, but unfortunately it does not work that way. Even...
Read MoreGoodbye insomnia – Change your breath, change your mind!
Really, is it possible to say goodbye to insomnia? Yes, its really that simple!!! Years ago at a very stressful time in my life , a time when I was suffering from terrible insomnia, I want to Kripalu in the USA. Kripalu is a retreat centre in the berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Its a stunning place with stupendous views of the forest, in the Autumn, which is when I went, the forest is all kinds of golden, red and orange colours, just being there was a truly healing experience. I learnt a technique there called BRFWA and I use and teach it all the time. Its the difference between...
Read MoreWant to know how to sleep – check out the human need for significance
If you want to know how to sleep better, watch this for inspiration! Insomnia? Umm, the human need for significance? I don’t need to feel important I hear you say…..but actually at some level or another you do, we all do! When we feel like we are fading away and loose our significance in the world it upsets our balance. By significance I mean, that we all need a sense of being needed or that we have some use being here which is often why older people become depressed because in their eyes they are no longer needed. This of course is not true, with age comes wisdom,...
