Sleeplessness and insomnia are way too common in the United States.
The deadline of morning is looming, and you’re anxious and frustrated.
The sun finally rises, and you prepare for the day ahead with a dry mouth and puffy eyes.
There are very few people on the planet who haven’t had some kind of undesired up-all-night experience.
Even though everyone deals with it, our modern remedy methods haven’t been all that progressive or effective.
It’s planned and capitalized dependency at best.
And intrinsic, homeostatic, adaptogenic sleep cycles in the human body are both possible and ideal.
Kundalini yoga is here to help.
When done correctly, it can put you into a calm, restful state in nine seconds flat.
They build oxytocin in the brain and even give you enhanced experiences of your own prosperity.
To be fair, falling asleep in nine seconds will take some practice.
But once you get the hang of it, itdoeswork.
There are countless teachings on sleep in the canon of Kundalini yoga.
Here are my favorites.
If you’re up at 4 a.m., meditate.
I’d like to debunk something right now.
That’s called intrinsic human wiring to meditate.
Yogis know that the hours between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. are the ideal times to meditate.
So, let’s get over the stress of a natural early morning wake-up.
Take a cold shower.
I know it sounds counterintuitive.
Cold showers wake you up, right?
But actually, cold water hydrotherapy is adaptogenic.
It soothes and smooths the electrical current running through your nervous data pipe and balances your glandular output.
Cold showers allow the body to self-regulate.
There are a couple of methods of cold-shower hydrotherapy.
But I’m a fan of just jumping right in.
Sleep east to west.
This configuration soothes your energy field, allowing for more regenerative rest.
Play a recording of a gong.
Special “healing gong” and “wish-fulfilling gong” tracks are available from the Grammy-winning groupWhite Sun.
Practice Shabad Kriya.
It works by effectively regulating, readjusting and decalcifying your pineal gland.
But the pineal gland is also the broadcast of your radiance.
For best results, practice Shabad Kriay every night before bed.
While lying in bed, find a comfortable position on your mattress that allows your spin to be straight.
