"Deep Sleep and Relaxation for
Your Peace and Calm
"



Most of us counter-act the benefits of deep relaxation and sleep by using soft mattresses, watching television, and eating before retiring etc.

If You are using energy for digestion or processing thoughts, you are not using it to repair and recharge your vital life-force energy while you sleep.

There are 3 levels of sleep which are repeated in a cycle 4 or 5 times each night. The first is shallow sleep where the heart beat drops, breathing becomes slow and regular and the body is liable to toss and turn.

This is followed by a period of deep sleep, where both muscles and brain are relaxed, growth hormones are released and protein production is increased, the body is repairing itself and dead cells are replaced.

Next a period of sleep where electrical activity of the brain increases and the breathing and heart beat become irregular. It is at this level that we dream, which is indicated by rapid eye movement (REM).

Rest and relaxation can be gained by lying immobile without sleeping, we sleep apparently to dream.

If you cannot sleep do not worry, breathe deeply, rest and relax. It is likely that during the sleep you do get, your brain fulfills its dreaming requirements.

Settle yourself in a comfortable position, sitting or lying down. Close your eyes and breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. Contract and tense all of your muscles for 1-3 seconds, then release, relax and just let-go. Do this several times and feel the tension flow out through your heels into the depths of the earth.

To improve the benefits of this simple exercise...

Stretching and Flexibility for Deep Relaxation

DEEP SLEEP
AND
TOTAL RELAXATION

When you have slept well you awaken with renewed energy and have a more positive outlook on the day ahead. It is so important to develop correct sleep and relaxation patterns to put you in harmony with nature and the natural flow of vital life-force energy.

You can determine what is natural by observing that you are energetic after sunrise and tired and passive after sunset. So nature tells you to arise at sunrise and retire at sunset for maximum benefits.

This is not possible for many people as we have developed artificial habits in our busy complex lives in 'modern society'.

It really is essential to arrange your lifestyle and become more sensitive to your individual needs. You must learn to respect your internal rhythm and remember the hours before midnight are the most valuable to replenish vital energy for quality sleep and relaxation.

Doctors and physicians know that nervous problems of tension, anxiety, irritability, anger and many other forms of extreme emotions stop us from being relaxed and at ease. If we are not at ease, then in time we will experience dis-ease... allowing the energy to trickle away in a constant stream with the resulting wear and tear on the nervous system.

If you clench your fists, chew gum, drum repeatedly, frown and generally express your mental states in physical action you are wasting your energy.

This can be seen in all aspects of our 'modern society'... people are too busy leading complicated lives. This puts a drain on energy resources and effects quality of life, leading to dis-ease, illness, and shortened lifespan.

Breathe Deeply and Relax...
Let-Go of Tension and Be Healthy

Most people who have mastered the ability to relax are usually active, vibrant and full of energy. The difference is that they do not waste energy. Every action, mental or physical, conscious or unconscious uses up a certain amount of vital life-force energy.

If you have not built up reserves of energy then you can become weakened, tired and drained. Good sleep and relaxation will help build these reserves. When the muscles and nerves are at rest the mind and body become calm and energy is stored for future use.

A good example of this can be seen in the animal world and particularly the cat family. This is an animal relaxed but ready for instant action... followed by instant relaxation again, there is no tension or waste of energy.

Thought takes form in action so what you think about you become. your actions have a reaction upon your mind, so it is necessary to cultivate and develop a calm and peaceful mental attitude.

Freeing yourself from worry, tension and strong emotions like anger can be achieved by looking directly and consciously at the fear involved. You can take control of the present moment, breathe deeply, relax and let-go.

When we are calm and relaxed it becomes easier to focus, concentrate and achieve our goals... the time to relax is when we don't have time to.
