Perhaps there are few people in the world who at least once did not enter into a confrontation with insomnia, using at the same time all kinds of advice ever heard or read in magazines. For example, many people consider camels or elephants, and someone immediately switches to "heavy artillery" and takes out the treasured bottle with sleeping pills, convincing himself that "this is only once." But this method is quickly becoming a system. Today, many people turn to ancient knowledge, including the wisdom from insomnia, not hoping for antidepressants. We will discuss how effective this is.
The modern rhythm of life
Let's think about the rhythm of life that we obey. The beginning of the day explodes our brain with the jingle of an alarm clock, which is already very stressful.
Then almost every average person goes through several stages:
- protest, angry accusations addressed to unknown to whom;
- attempt to negotiate with yourself, bargaining about "another 10 minutes";
- doomed submission to necessity.
Then follows the rise and implementation of standard actions, as a result of which we proceed with our job responsibilities. For a moment, ask yourself: "What is the mood of a person at the moment" here and now "?" You know the answer ...
During the day, our official duty requires endurance and quick decision making. It is also a burden on the nervous system.
Returning home in the evening, we are faced with the need to do household chores. This is followed by dinner (most likely late), watching TV shows or wandering around the Internet until midnight and a dream that does not give complete relaxation. And after 6 hours, OH rings again, etc.
Why is everything wrong?
Ask yourself the question: "Is this the rhythm of life dictating our conditions to us, or is it we ourselves who form our schedule?" If you want an honest answer, you will have to think about who makes you stay up late instead of listening to your body, which already at 9 pm signaled you its desire to rest.
And this is the voice of nature, because our subconscious mind is tuned to unity with it.
In accordance with biorhythms, any living creature, which is the "king of nature", must live in accordance with the laws of the universe. If he breaks them, diseases come.
They sneak up unnoticed, and the first signal is precisely the inability to fall asleep.
Doctors in India practicing Ayurveda, when examining a patient, are first of all interested in his daily routine. And it often happens that a disease recedes after a person begins to adhere to biologically defined rhythms. And in this he can help the mudra from insomnia.
Therefore, the first advice: listen to the voice of your subconscious and adjust the mode of the day.
Evening practice
Suppose that you are very "successful" in unbalancing the rhythms of your body, and intuition tells you that you can’t live like that. So the time has come for a change, you should choose a new direction. The most important thing is to set yourself at the right time for going to bed. However, orders do not help the case and it is necessary to act in a new way.
One can master the performance of mudra from insomnia. The fingers connected in a certain way in combination with deep breathing can contribute not only to the normalization of sleep, but also to the overall healing of the body. This knowledge is more than 5 thousand years old, and it has proved its effectiveness. The word "mudra" is translated from Sanskrit as "seal" or "castle". And there are several dozen of them: each is designed to direct energy to the desired organ.
The practice is common in Tibet and India, where almost everyone knows what a mudra is. The principle of its work is that at the tips of the fingers there are dozens of nerve endings, each of which is connected by a meridian to a specific organ.
Before you begin to practice, you need to decide on the purpose of the classes. With insomnia, evening time is suitable for you, starting from 18-00 hours. If you need a surge of strength, then the beginning of the practice should be no later than 10-00.
Before starting classes, make sure of the following:
- at least three hours have passed since the last meal;
- in the room where you practice, fresh air;
- no one will bother you for about 30 minutes;
- telephone, TV and computer are disabled;
- the lighting is dim.
And remember the rule of 21 days: any practice is accepted by your subconscious only after this period. If you stop classes earlier, then everything will have to start from scratch.
Mudra jyan
Many have seen this mudra in photos or paintings depicting a Buddha sitting in a meditative pose. In the classical position of the hands, with the palms up, on the hips, the pads of the index and thumb are gently connected, and the other three in the upright position are set aside. The mudra of Jnana (or Gyan) in Sanskrit means "knowledge."
Before you start practicing wise from insomnia, evaluate your physical abilities, since the optimal embodiment assumes that you spend all your time sitting in the "padmasana" position (also called the "lotus") or at least with crossed legs. You need to be comfortable and not distracted by thoughts such as: "When is it all over and I can sit in a chair?"
If you realize that you cannot fulfill these conditions, then just sit on a chair with a straight back so that both of your feet are completely in contact with the floor.
Practice and Result
So, you settled down in accordance with your physical abilities and closed your fingers. Now you need to adjust your breathing. To do this, imagine that in the abdominal region you have a ball that, when you inhale, is inflated, and when you exhale, it is deflated. Your belly will increase and decrease. Usually people get used to breathing in the upper chest, but lower abdominal breathing is most beneficial to the body.
Try this type of breathing several times and, making sure that you have mastered it, start practicing. You can perform it with your eyes closed or open.
Put your palms on your hips and connect the fingertips as explained above, and then connect the breath. Perform it calmly, concentrating on the sensations.
Practice allows you to improve concentration, memory, cerebral circulation, eliminates anxiety and depression. Over time, you will notice that you become less irritable.
This practice can be called yoga for the fingers, and mudras have the same power on the body as Hatha Yoga Asanas.
Some additions
According to reviews, mudra from insomnia is very effective, the main thing is that it allows you to solve the problem without drug exposure.
When practicing, one should not strain one's arms or body: everything should happen easily. By the way, there are several wise people who perfectly influence the nervous system, but each of them has its own characteristics and a specific area of influence.
