Secret Tip For a Better Sleep
Have you ever heard of Yoga Nidra ?
I've been using this technique for years to help me fall asleep or find peace in difficult times.
Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep in Sanskrit, is a guided meditation that will take you through a state between awake and sleep.
It will take you to a deep healing state where your cells regenerate and repair, and your nervous system and endocrine system are regulated.
Research shows that 30-minute of yoga nidra will reset your entire system and leave you feeling recharged.
I've received messages asking if one could get used to and it wouldn't work anymore.
My answers has been : it depends on your intention.
If you want to relax deeply after a long day, the audio will continue to serve its purpose.
If your goal is to fall asleep, it may have less effect over time.
Not because it would be less efficient.
But because of your expectations.
You get it.
Falling asleep should not become the goal.
Let it happen.
If you are suffering from chronic sleep disorders, I invite you to explore the root causes of it.
Creating a routine before bedtime can be helpful. It could be for example to :
-Reduce lighting before bedtime and create a certain atmosphere
-Avoid screens at least 30 minutes before going to sleep
-Set a time to meditate a few minutes / do breathing exercises at a regular time
-Set time to read in your bed before the actual time you want to sleep
Today I'm sharing with you something unique I do for many years to sleep better, and it might surprise you.
It's not an action that takes place in the evening, but in the morning !
This is actually the first thing I do as I wake up:
I write or I record my dreams.
It's important to do this immediately when you wake up because the dream is still fresh in you memory.
Yes, you read that right...
Dreams can be the key for a better sleep :)
This routine has improved my quality of sleep for several reasons.
One of them was learning to let go.
Because, if you're like me, someone very active, you may always want to do more,
to have longer days,
and rather delay bedtime...
So remembering my dreams makes me want to go to sleep because it's as if... my day would continue as I sleep.
The very memory of my dreams makes me want to return to this imaginary bubble, night after night, and the curious desire to know what my unconscious will communicate to me.
Are you ready to give it a try?
