Relieve Insomnia and Other Sleep Disorder

Now for the rest of us -- the perpetual thinkers, always dwelling on all the things we have to do... how we're going to cope... So accustomed to worry, anxiety, nervousness, stress or other feelings that we accept them as nothing unusual. Well, they are definitely not anything unusual in our culture, but they are also not necessary to hold in our minds all of the time, especially when we're trying to get some sleep. They serve absolutely no constructive purpose at that time, and will only frustrate our attempts to get some good sleep.

So how do we reverse those patterns of worry, stress, anxiety and other mental habits that cause restlessness at night? For starters, I would like to lead you through an exercise that will enable you to dissolve the overwhelm of your currently accumulated negative emotional energies, and calm your mind for sleep.

When first learning this technique, perhaps for the next 3 or 4 nights, perform the exercise sometime before getting into bed. You can simply follow the steps while sitting your computer. After a few nights you'll have the process memorized and be able to perform the steps on your own in the evening, or even while going to sleep.

Before we start, please take a few minutes to write down all the things you need to remember to do later on or tomorrow -- things you might think about while doing the exercise that you'd worry about forgetting. In fact, if you tend to wake up at night remembering and worrying about things that you have to do, get in the habit of doing this nightly - writing such a list at least an hour before bedtime, and then put the list aside until morning.

The following exercise should be performed in a sitting position, in a comfortable environment free from distractions. You should not be driving, operating machinery, or involved in any other activity. Please get yourself ready for the exercise now. When you're ready, we'll begin.
