Changing Woman's Blog

the todays world is really a curse for sleepers..I can't get my proper sleep wih the clock ticking, dogs barking, people snoring, cars honking on the road, a bang here a bang there..even if I close my eyes for a moments time all of a sudden someone's good night lullaby would turn into hard rock concert or suddenly the woman living next door would remember its her birhday again and the man lying beside her had forgotten again...

If I manage to put two pillows on my head and stuff my ears with cotton balls..the torries and whigs would start a fresh argument upon something I can do nohing about (aleast in odd hours of night) in my head!!

"my lord, what if the world ends soon..?" says a whig
"Overruled my lord, our lady needs to sleep..end is far, morning is near..let her sleep" interrupts a torrie
"oh, well my lord, the world is closing end, how can our lady sleep"
"Sir she needs to sleep now"
"well this is beside point sir, she only got 3 hours left"
"then let her sleep"
"if she sleeps now..she'll miss her class.."
"if she doesn't sleep..she'll sleep in her class.."


"Shut up the two of u!" my concious mind would scream!!
And right then alarm would go off!!!!

People at campus would ask me.."where have you been?" and "were there worms in your coffin?" and "you are a total mess!"

Things have changed now..I have become the gifted sleeper who sleeps soundly while the world rocks around!
I have made up my own sleeping ritual that really works for me..
I meditate and listen to yanni..
I have my own style of meditation..I give alot of time to meditation..

I lie down in traditional dead pose..concentrate on every limb and muscle, toe to head..giving myself the relax que.
Then, I feel my skin inhaling and exhaling..inhale via feet..exhale through heel..inhale via palms exhale via face skin..etc...its all in the brain..but if you concentrate, you forget the whigs and the torries in the brain or you give them a common ground.. Once this is accomplished i assume the environment taking my negativity, stress and strain away..feeding in me positivity and radiance..until i become the source...containing the power to heal (atleast in my mind), then one by one I address my problems...
"the cat is sick"..heal.."the earth is in pain"..heal..."what if i get late"..i will not..heal...i keep on healing and believing that I am really healing until I go to sleep without the burden of distracted thoughts running in my tiny head...

What is your sleeping ritual?
