How To Induce Sleep - 10 Ideas

I use to lay awake at night wondering how I could induce sleep! Honestly; I did, it was no joke.

In fact I got to the stage where I really didn't look forward to the end of the day as I knew that that was when the battle would begin.

Sleep

So I set to and made it my mission to discover ways to help me get some decent shut-eye.

I've tried all of the following to varying degrees of success. The last one is the remedy I've stayed with as it works the best for me, but we're all different so try them all & see what works best for you. I hope you discover 1 that does.

1. Instigate a bedtime routine- such as always going to bed at the same time (even if you don't feel sleepy). Remember it takes 2 weeks for a behaviour pattern to become a habit so don't give up after a few nights if nothing seems to be happening any differently.

2. Old fashioned, I know, but it can work. Always have a warm milky drink before you go to bed. This is scientifically proven to help induce sleep.

3. Pay attention to where you sleep. Is it too light for you even with curtains drawn? Consider buying curtains or blinds with a 'blackout' fabric as a lining. They are easily available, not too expensive and are fantastic to use if you're a shift worker & have to sleep during the day.

4. Try not to eat anything after 8pm at night. This means that your body won't be digesting (and therefore working) during the night when you're trying to sleep. It's just 1 less thing for your body to cope with.

5. Try & relax. Easier said than done, I know. Try to have some SSS ( silence,solitary,stillness) time to yourself. During anytime of the day would be helpful, but especially at night just before you want to get to sleep.

6. If necessary, decide to sleep in the spare room (if you have one) if you normally sleep with a partner. Sometimes the stress of thinking you're keeping someone else awake because you can't sleep acts as a vicious circle and just gets you more stressed out.

7. Try some over the counter herbal/natural remedies. If they don't work for you at least they won't have had any unpleasant side effects & you can stop taking them instantly. You don't have to wean yourself off them. ( Remember to try them for at least 2 weeks though)

8. Try; if possible, to sleep when you feel tired- even if it seems unsociable. At least sleep when you can & then try some of the above ideas once you're not so fractious.

9. Try holistic treatments such as reflexology, Acupuncture or massage. These work on the mind, body & spirit and may very well get to the root of the problem without needless medication.

10. Last but not least & my favourite. Use binaural beats to lower your brain frequencies in minutes to instil quick & healthy sleep patterns. Basically they are low delta frequencies; totally harmless, just relaxing and natural (your brain already produces them!) Your brain is directly responsible for sleep & it's when there's too much inner chatter and busyness going on that sleep seems unobtainable. We just don't switch off. Listening to these frequencies has been a life-saver for me & they've given me my life back as I can now function again & no longer have to worry about how to induce sleep.

2012 Will Be A Systemic Solar Pralaya?

So I was reading through this book.. (amazing) and I came upon this quote which I think demands of us further inquiry into the nature of 2012:

"Man, the indwelling thinker, passes at night from out of his etheric ring-pass-not (event horizon) and functions elsewhere. Therefore, under the law, the planetary Logos likewise can pass His ring-pass-not at stated seasons which correspond in the planet to hours of man's temporary repose, or pralaya (2012)." Treatise On Cosmic Fire pg. 111

Repose

So then, this event which will occur on a planetary level at the end of this age, is akin to the event which occurs at the end of a day on the human level.. One gathers one's thoughts, ends the day, and begins to process their subconscious in dreamstate to extract meaning and knowledge for the next day.

At Pralaya the planet (likely all the Souls within it also) will be sucked into abstraction, out of the "pilot seat" of the Etheric/physical body, and into the abstract space of mind, in the same way as a person is sucked out of their body and into dreamstate when they fall asleep; the difference being that this will be not the plane of human mind but the plane of Cosmic Mind, where the relationship between human beings will be similar to the relationship between dream characters in one's dream. (except we will be Conscious... though I can't say about those who aren't generating a "Merkaba" electromagnetic field, but I know that those who are will be Conscious and retain their memory)

What will be the result of this thinking? Well... we know that life so far has been characterized by 4 kingdoms- mineral, vegetable, animal, and human.. according to Theosophical Principles (which I adhere to mostly and strongly support) after this Pralaya will come the emergence of a fifth kingdom of life - the Superhuman..

So it's obvious that a new Kingdom of Humanity awaits, founded on Spiritual principles, and a large swath if not all of the population will be Superhuman..

This means that there is something in this Pralaya that is going to cause us to absorb new Cosmic Radiances, and use them to create an entirely new etheric shell... to correspond with our change in Consciousness from 4th to 5th.. it's likely the transformation could be just as significant as the change from animal to human or vegetable to animal... what this ACTUALLY means in practical terms for us in the next few years is anybody's guess... all we can go on is our own Transformation and the reliable insight of others who we trust to tell us the Truth about their own transformations and realizations..

What will become of those who are not ready for the next Kingdom of Evolution? I have no idea... perhaps there will be wars, famine, floods and earthquakes that will wipe out everybody who is not ready... perhaps not. Perhaps that there will be a choice for them to come with us, or to not, and if they choose their selfish egoistic pursuits over Love & Brotherhood, to be taken to another world like an Earth replica (A La "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) where they will be left amongst themselves to work out their karma, (in a new environment free of wars and techno-lust hopefully). Perhaps that they will all be wiped of their memory and distributed throughout the Cosmos? I don't know what is going to happen with this huge swath of billions of humans who are not ready to hold the energy of a New Earth.

What we can gather however is that after this Pralaya occurs the Earth will probably wake up as we wake up, on a New Day, a New Planet, with the axis slightly adjusted, some geological changes likely to occur (The Enochian material mentions that the Earth will be flat again as in Lemurian times, [flat as in no mountains, not as in 2 dimensional]) and a large section of humanity likely to be missing, cast off into some parallel dimension..I remember Yeshua saying once about how we'd all wake up on a place on the Earth that matched our highest desire, (he said most of us would probly wind up on a beach somewhere). How wonderful would it be? A Planetary reset button.. we would be able to restart from the ground up in the best way possible.. with Souls who care for the Earth.. Truly that would be a cause for rejoicing.

24-Hour Water Fasting For Weight Loss & Detoxification

Many persons I talk to want to fast, but believe that unless they do so for three, seven or more days - then it is pointless to do it at all. Well, I am here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.

Water Fasting for even ONE day can help you start receiving the benefits of this life-saving practice - as well as give you tangible experience as to how your body reacts while you abstain from solid food. Water fasting can do wonders for your digestive system.

Repose

To be sure, the digestive system is very grateful when it is given an opportunity to repose from the often never-ending process of digestion. When given this break, the body is able to shift its focus to healing other organs and areas that may be ill - not to mention the massive intestinal cleansing that fasting facilitates.

One-day water fasting done in a methodical and regular manner provides the kind of rest that can dramatically help your digestive system and overall health. One-day fasting can help you lose weight in a sustainable way. This method is safe because you do not have to embark in any grueling exercise regimes, or take any type of medication to receive the weight loss and detoxification benefits.

Water fasting for a full 24-hour cycle once a week or once every two weeks is definitely the way to go if you are new to this practice. Try it out once and the success will increase your self confidence and often lead you to venture out to longer periods of fasting.
Such was the case with me.

Proper Fasting

Here is a method of doing one day water fasts: *Decide on a particular day for that 24-hour cycle do not eat any solid food.*When hunger strikes, drink a large glass of water. *You can start, say, by eating your last meal at 8PM and then going to bed, fasting the entire following day, and breaking the fast at 8PM that evening. Successful fasting has three stages: preparation, the actual fast, and breaking the fast. Each one of these stages is important.

Preparing to Fast

It is very important that you prepare yourself both mentally and physically before a fast or you will find it difficult to go one day without food. The mental preparation is simple, but very important. Do this: *The night before the fast make a firm resolution that you will not eat no matter how much hunger strikes. *Taking a firm stand helps you stick to your decision. *Firm determination will give you strength when you are tempted to give up.

Physical preparation is also very important. The day before you fast, prepare your body by eating a normal amount of food. * Do not by any means overeat thinking that you are storing food for the fast. This will cause very uncomfortable cramps and the hunger pains will more than likely be stronger than they would otherwise.

The Fasting Day

During the fasting period, it is best to limit yourself to light physical tasks and to concentrate as much as possible on introspection and spirituality. Use this fasting period constructively. Meditate on scriptures, pray or read inspirational books - spend some time taking stock of where you are in life, and what are some of the areas that you would like to improve.

These can be spiritual, mental, physical, social and even financial. It is often helpful to write a list of issues you would like to resolve and then use the time of fasting praying and meditating to receive inspiration and guidance. *If you are unable to take this "time out" because of an active work or family schedule, then go about your business but maintain an "internal" attitude of prayer, meditation and contemplation.

The way I accomplish this is by not allowing time to consume my thoughts but, rather, I make it a point to go from moment to moment - focusing only on what I am doing one second, one minute at a time. You will be surprise just how often we go about our day-to-day
activities thinking only of the future or obsessing over the past. This negates the present moment and can keep us in a state of confusion, stress and restlessness.

Breaking the Fast

Benefits of fasting can be truly enjoyed only if you break the fast in the right manner. Do not do like I did at first and break a period of fasting with a full-course meal. You can get stomach cramps and, in some cases, become seriously ill. On the morning or evening following the fast, break it by either drinking water with lime or grape juice diluted with water.

Drinking lemon juice with a pinch of salt helps flush out toxins from your digestive system. Wait approximately four hours and then have some soup or light salad with lime. Please - NO heavy dressings at this point! Four hours after that you can have a light meal of poultry, salad and maybe steamed vegetables or brown rice.

The next day you can resume your regular eating habits. Of course, the period of fasting hopefully will give you time to meditate on how you have been eating. It is important to realize that fasting only to return to destructive eating will limit the benefits. After you break the fast, make a resolution that you will start to move away from destructive eating.

This is not done in a day, and you may stumble much - but no matter what, keep going and never give up! Periodic fasting such as the one described here is definitely one of the elements of a balanced and sustainable weight loss program.

Is it Bad to Exercise Before Bed?

Do you do exercise at night? Are you wondering whether it is good or bad to do exercise before bed? If yes, then you should read this article that will give you some basic information about this topic.

As a matter of fact, this question has been asked by a lot of people. And there is no definitive answer to it. You are likely to get different answers if you ask different persons. Some people will say it is fine while others say it is bad. It depends. But how do you know whether it is OK for you to exercise before bed?

\"sleep Well\"

There are two main things you should take into consideration.

1, Does the exercise make you hard to fall asleep?

This is the most important factor that decides whether it is OK for you to exercise before sleeping. Generally speaking, doing exercise will wake up your body, thus it will take longer for you to fall asleep, or you may even find it hard to fall asleep if you exercise near sleeping. With that being said, if you are able to fall asleep without any trouble, it is fine to do workout before bed. However, if you have hard time falling asleep after workout, it is not a good choice for you.

2, Do you have time to exercise at night?

If you can sleep well after late night exercise, the second thing you should consider is your personal schedule. If you are an evening person, it is better to exercise at night since you are easier to stick to your exercise routine. Otherwise it is better to exercise in the morning. By the way, if you are trying to lose fat and you have no preference on when to exercise, it is recommended to do workout in the morning, because your body is already in fat burning mode.

Alcohol And Sleeping Pills - A Deadly Mix

Being arrested for a DWI can be a huge hassle for all people involved. Once you are arrested, you will then have to call an Austin DWI lawyer to come and help you with your case. Some people even take this a step further and take some sort of pills to go along with the alcohol. Sleeping pills for instance can cause some bad effects if they are combined with alcohol.

Alcohol usually acts as a depressant which slows your body down and makes you feel tired. Alcohol also tends to relax all of your muscles. Alcohol tends to amplify any snoring you might have and make it louder than it normally would be. Alcohol by itself can also cause what is called obstructive sleep Apnoea. Obstructive sleep Apnoea is when you are sleeping and there are parts of time where you are not breathing at all.

Sleeping

Sleeping pills, much like alcohol, act as a depressant. Sleeping pills are made to make your body feel relaxed and to make you feel drowsy enough to want to go to sleep. These sleeping pills are also made for you to be able to sleep at least 8 hours of rest. Some of the sleeping pills out there have been linked to the pill that is called the "date-rape" drug. This is a drug used to make victims fall asleep hard enough to not realize what is happening.

Mixing alcohol and sleeping pills can be a somewhat horrible mix. Because both of these pills are depressants, they can cause some serious side effects if they are taken at the same time. When they are taken together, they cause your body to relax more than it really should. This means that your breathing drastically is slowed down. This is bad because the less oxygen gets to your blood cells the more your blood pressure drops. Your blood pressure dropping can lead to a number of things that will be quite harmful for your body. If you stop breathing for long enough, it could put your body into a coma. The lack of air entering your body will eventually begin to affect the performance of your organs. If you are not taken care of immediately once your body is put into a coma, it is very likely that you will die due to lack of oxygen and a number of other things.

Party Food Ideas - Easy Finger Foods

Finger food is the ultimate party food. No muss, no fuss. Just pick up a bite and continue to visit with everyone. Everyone loves finger food. Even kids love food they can handle; there is something satisfying about touching your food.

Serve them at parties, when you watch a movie or a sporting event, or even when you all get together to play a board or video game. Finger foods add to the enjoyment of your evening because they are just plain fun to eat.

Slumber

Finger foods can range from deviled eggs to shrimp cocktail to entire meals made of these delectable little bites, such as tapas. Have fun when you select finger foods. Choose some cold dishes that can be made ahead of time as well as some that you can warm up at the last minute. Finger foods let you relax and enjoy the party with your guests.

If you want something elegant, spread slices of prosciutto with seasoned cream cheese and roll them up. Instant finger food! Simpler fare can include chips and dips, quesadilla wedges and even cheese and crackers. Do not let this simplicity fool you. You can also come up with some incredibly delicious finger foods like stuffed mushrooms and bacon wrapped shrimp.

Finger foods should be simple to prepare. You could simply roll up some tuna salad in a lettuce leaf or wrap potato cubes with bacon. Serve them with fancy toothpicks and they look elegant and sophisticated. Sprinkle deviled eggs with a dash of paprika and you suddenly turn blandly colored mashed eggs into a stunning dish that contrasts the bright red of the paprika with the creamy yellow of the yolks. It does not take long to come up with some tasty appetizers for your guests.

Finger foods also look best with some thought put into their presentation. Display them on platters decorated with paper doilies or with some curly parsley and cherry tomato wedges poised artistically among the goodies. It only takes a few moments to think of great ways to display your dishes. You put all the effort into making them, so add a few more minutes to make them look their best.

Recipe for Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

Young and old will love these small deep pizzas. They are great for snacks, kids' parties or anytime you want a fun finger food.

What You Need

• 1 pound ground beef

Sleeping Positions

Below are the most common sleeping positions when lying on a bed:

Side sleeping

Sleeping

More people sleep on their side than in any other position. In fact, according to the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, about two out of every three people sleep on their sides. Sleeping on one's side has the advantage of lowering the incidences of snoring, sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea. It also helps open airways and is the most helpful position for expecting women to lower any pressure they feel from their wombs. Twice as many women sleep on their side as men.

The disadvantage of side sleeping is that most of the body's pressure is on the arms and shoulders. This can cause neck stiffness and shoulder pain as well as loss of blood circulation in the arms. This, however, can be solved with a pillow specifically intended for side sleepers because it will allow the proper placement of neck, arms and shoulders.

Back sleeping

Unlike the side sleeping position, sleeping on one's back may promote snoring and even back pain. To sleep properly on one's back, one needs soft but firm support for three important curvatures of the body: behind the neck, in the small of the back, and lower back. To help achieve this, an orthopedic pillow with neck contouring and a knee wedge may be helpful in letting a back sleeper lie in rest and comfort.

Stomach sleeping

More babies and young people sleep in this position than adults. This position is often viewed as bad for the neck because it can lead to neck strain, pain and stiffness. It may also be responsible for or help contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in babies and young children, says the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What are the Different Mattress Measurements?

While buying a mattress most of us lay stress on the softness, the materials used in manufacturing and color of the mattress. We forget the mattress size. The length and breadth of the mattresses are different for different beds. The mattress size depends on the bed size and for every bed there are various types of mattresses.

Buying a small mattress is a big mistake and if your legs are completely not on the mattress and come out of it then you cannot sleep well. While sleeping in a bed you require enough space for movement and the mattress you choose should be very comfortable to turn and twist at night.

\"sleep Well\"

The measurements of some mattress are:::

Queen Size Beds

60"wide x 80" long

152 X 203 CM

Twin Size Beds

39" wide x 75" long

99 X 191 CM

Long Twin Size Beds

39" wide x 80" long

99 X 203 CM

California King Size Beds

72" wide x 84" long

183 X 214 CM

Full Size or Double Beds

54" wide x 75" long

137 X 191 CM

King Size Beds

78" wide x 80" long

198 X 203 CM

While buying a mattress make sure you buy the right size. There are various designs of mattresses available in the market.

The Worst Sleep Disorder

Sleep is a Necessity, Not a Luxury

Millions of people suffer from chronic and pervasive sleep disorders. But what you are about to read is not about traditional sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, night terrors, restless leg syndrome, or narcolepsy. For information on those conditions, I ask you to check with a professional source in that area. What I am providing for you here is the most preventable type of sleep disorder and problem; self-imposed sleep deprivation.

Sleep

What happened to us? When did things begin to change regarding one of our most basic and necessary functions for health and wellness? When did sleep become frowned upon and why? Was it the Industrial revolution? Was it the Technology age? Who did the brainwashing?

When did sleep become a bad habit, a sign of laziness and, pardon me, a luxury?

Well, finally the research is out. But sadly, it seems that no matter how much information is put out there with statistics and fancy research results, many people are NOT heeding the call to sleep. The worst of it is that we are not listening to our own intuition and biological clocks. Well this is your "wake-up" call asking you to sleep more and sleep better.

How Sleep Deprivation Harms You

Did you ever hear or say the phrase "I'll sleep when die"? Well, guess what? Lack of sleep will catch up to you and cause you overall and long-term harm which could actually lead to premature death, or at least have you looking like a zombie!

Here below are the most common effects of the lack of proper sleep:

• Fatigue and exhaustion.
• Irritability and foul mood.
• Your physical appearance is affected adversely, meaning people who don't sleep enough look unhealthy, sunken in, older than their physical age-have you heard of beauty sleep?
• Increased risk of diabetes.
• Increased risk of cardio-vascular disease.
• Pre-mature aging.
• Weight gain.
• And possible increased cancer risk.

Purpose of Sleep and Its Benefits-From Sleeping Beauty to Beauty Sleep

Sleep is most assuredly a biological, mental, emotional and spiritual necessity. Just like we need air to breathe and food for sustenance to survive, sleep is a required activity, and not an optional habit. Here are some of the documented benefits of sleep:

• Biological: While you sleep, there is restoration and recovery of your cells, muscles and organs, including your biggest organ-your skin. Human Growth Hormone and Melatonin are released while you sleep and that is essential to healthy skin, hair, nail growth and anti-aging benefits. There is also the release of antioxidants and increased immune system strength. With enough sleep there is increased energy, and we can all use more of that during our waking life.
• Mental: With more sleep, you can expect a sharper mind, better concentration, and increased memory. A more intelligent world is a better world.
• Emotional: Forget being crabby. With restorative sleep you will have better and balanced mood, less irritability, higher optimism.
• Spiritual: Two of my favorite reasons to sleep are to "work things out" and increase in natural intuition. We are only beginning to understand and explore both the physical and the metaphysical benefits of sleep. From personal experience and the research I have conducted, I can tell you that when you sleep at your body's optimal level, your intuition and psychic ability are increased. You may also tend to remember your dreams more clearly and with more detail and that provides invaluable insight into your life issues, challenges and desires.
• Physical: Sleeping works above and below. The result is literally increased beauty by increasing your overall health and giving you a refreshed appearance everyone will notice.

Your Sleep Process

How many hours do you sleep? Do you feel it is more productive to sleep less and work more? Are you feeling vital and energetic?

I say "your sleep process" because each person's sleep cycle is. There is no cookie-cutter sleep recipe. The amount of sleep you need varies from anyone else's in your life. Even if you sleep the same amount of sleep as someone you know, the way you drift off, your style of sleeping, the sleep position in your bed, your dream life, kind mattress or pillow you need, etc. is all your own. But more often than not, the amount you need to feel refreshed, alert and healthy will be somewhere between 7 and 9 hours. There are also factors like your age, phase of life and general health condition that affect how much sleep you need. However some people need less and some, like me, need as much as 11 or 12 hours sometimes to feel rested.

Most people do not get nearly as much sleep as they need out of guilt or the conditioned belief that sleep is a bad habit. But in the process of sleep certain biological, mental and spiritual necessary processes occur. It may take time to find the amount of sleep that works for your highest health benefit. So make that time for yourself-you are worth it.

What the Heck is Sleep Hygiene-Creating a Sleep Conducive Environment and Banishing Sleep guilt

I don't know who came up with the term "Sleep Hygiene" but it sounds like, cleaning your sheets, or a showering before bed kind of thing. That is obviously not what it means. I believe the term does not accurately represent what it is trying to portray which is what I call, creating a Sleep Conducive Space (SCS).

Some sleep experts claim to restrict your bedroom, (assuming you sleep in a traditional bedroom) to sleep and sex only. But this is simply not realistic. But what is doable is to create the most conducive environment for yourself as possible. This process begins outside and into your bed. General useful considerations are:

• Watch your caffeine intake, alcohol intake or medications.
• Do something that lowers the temperature of your room to the cooler side.
• Gentle stretching and certain gentle yoga poses.
• Darken your environment (whether or not you are a day or night person).
• Quiet a restless mind by having note pad and pen and list quickly all that's on your mind to deal with another time then RELEASE it.
• Try to use soft and pleasant scents like lavender sleep sprays.
• Try soft nature sounds, or you respond to silence and there is a lot of noise around you use a white sound machine to block out unpleasant noise.
• Ask a doctor or other professional about supplements like Melatonin, or Valerian root etc.

In the end, the way you choose to create a sleep conducive space, will again, be unique and customized to you. If you do the research, reacquaint yourself with your natural biological clock, and trust your intuition, you will no longer succumb to the myth the less sleep is better. You can count on being on your way to better overall health. For a healthier, youthful and more beautiful you, go ahead, slumber Away.
