First, if you are eating meat and other kinds of meals, you eat at least serval hours before sleep, before all the food is digested.

You can incubate a lot of either negative or positive things in sleep.

This is getting too easy that just sleeping is Asuna.

So coming awake to an alarm bell with a certain start is not the best way to do your life.

MAJORITY OF Indians are sleep-deprived, says the surveys.

Sleep deprivation adds extra pounds. (Says the ETIME)

The link between a lack of sleep and type of 2^nd Diabetes. (Says National Sleep Foundation)

Better sleep can build emotional resilience. (Says The Atlantic)

Study: Sleep problems lead to quality-of-life issues. (Says FleetOwner)

Your lack of sleep is not helping you make any friends.

Sleep problems have more links to mental health than you think. (Says Wellness)

If you find that one day morning when you get up without any reason, you are just feeling ugly for no reason, it’s just happening even at least two or three times a year.

If it is, then you must do certain things before you go to bed.

It’s very important because unconsciously you need to understand this.

You can incubate a lot of things, either negative things or positive things in sleep, or either pleasantness or unpleasantness. You can incubate very effectively uninterrupted sleep.

You can also incubate it during the day, but there are so many interruptions.

It doesn’t happen very efficiently during the day, though.

But if you have a tendency to go to bed in a certain way and wake up in the morning feeling really nasty for no reason, that means you are incubating negative things in your sleep very efficiently. They are bad eggs.

This is not just psychological disturbances. It can cause major physiological problems for a period of time.

It’s important that you eliminate this kind of thing from your life.

Tips to sleep well:

Before you go to bed in the night, there are certain things that you need to take care of.

1.     Mealtime and sleep time. 睡前食物消化完畢. 上床前,喝一些水.

Before going to bed, drink a certain amount of water, and you’ll see it’s taken care of just like this.

2.               Take a shower before sleeping. 睡前洗給身體一個溫水淋浴

Doing one simple thing can be just a shower.

Always take a shower before going to bed. It will make a lot of difference.

If in the cold weather, maybe taking a cold shower is difficult. Go for lukewarm showers.

Don’t go for hard chunks in the night.

Go for lukewarm service. It makes a lot.

So when you think that you can’t sleep, you can just 15 or 20 minutes or half an hour.

But you will better later because it will take away certain things.

When you shower, it’s not just dirt on the skin that has been taken away.

Have you noticed that if you are very tense and anxious, whatever a shower, you come out and feel like a burden has just been taken from you?

Have you not noticed this?

It’s not just about washing the skin.

A whole lot of things have happened when the water flows over your body.

This shower is very rudimentary Bhuta Shuddhi because over 70% of your body is actually water. If the water runs over your body, a certain purification happens which goes beyond cleansing the skin.

3. Light up an organic-oil lamp/light 點油燈

One more thing if you want to do is to light up a lamp.

With the cotton wick and maybe you use normal cooking oil, or linseed(亞麻仁子油) oilㄝrice bran (米糠油)ㄝsesame (芝麻油)oil, or Leroy oil (橄欖油), or any kind of organic oil that is accessible for you.  Just burn it with a wick somewhere in the room you sleep.

You’ll see that these kinds of difficulties concerning falling sleep will completely disappear.

If you can bring in a chant, or there are 90 yogi practices before you go to bed, sit on your bed, and do them.

If you want to do an Isha Kriya, it’s available on the net. (Free免費)

ˋ4. Don’t head north. (頭不要朝北睡)

Generally in India, people told you that you should not put your head to the north and develop.

If you put your head to the north and during the night when you are I horizontal positions, then slowly the blood will get pulled to your brain.

And when there is too much circulation in your brain, you cannot sleep peacefully.

If you have any inherently weak aspects in your brain, or if you are old, you could die in your sleep. One can also have hemorrhage because extra blood is trying to enter the brain where the brain vessels are hair-like.

If extra blood is pushed into the vessels because of the magnetic pulls, and you are in a vertical position, this is not so soft.

But if you are in a horizontal position, this pull of the head is so strong that the blood tries to move into the brain. That’s why we have to avoid this from happening.

This is only true living in the northern hemisphere.

If you are Australians, accordingly, you should not put your head to the south.

You could put it in any other direction, except the very one direction that you should avoid.

5. Time is running. (時間不斷在流逝/人壽有限,生命之生或死,就在呼吸之間)

Keep in your mind that you are truly mortal, not in words.

You can easily fall dead right now.

You may be young and you still can grow old.

It doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, death always comes unexpectedly.

And think it’s your deathbed and you just have one more minute to live.

Just look back and see what have I done today.

Is it worthwhile to do this one simple exercise and you don’t know when it really happens.

Whether you sit on the deathbed, or lie in a hospital, with all kinds of things sticking to you. Who knows how it will happen?

But enjoy this every day that you will sit on your deathbed, looking back and see today the way I have handled 24 hours, is it worthwhile since I am dying?

If you do this practice, you will live a worthwhile life.

6.   Keeping things aside. 把事情放一邊

During the last three minutes before sleep, everything that you have gathered, the body, the content of the mind, and all those small things.

Small things are big things, they should not be ignored.

I have seen how people are carrying their own private pillows.

They think they are very important. So your pillows, footwear, if you have relationships, everything that you have gathered, keep it aside and sleep.

If you can sleep in this condition, you will wake up with much more light, energy, and possibilities than you ever imagined possible.

Just sleep as a life, not as a man, not as a woman, not as this or that.

Keep everything down simply.

This is getting too easy just sleeping Susanna. (睡覺的儀式)

At least, you must do this.

7.     Tips to wake up well? (如何醒? )

1)    Don’t get alarmed. (如何醒來) 不要被鬧鐘叫醒自己

What kind of sounds come awake you will determine the context of the day and the future of your life in many ways.

So coming awake to an alarm bell with a certain start is not the best way to do with your life.

You may need a different amount of sleep, determined by the food you have consumed, and the thoughts and emotions that you process within yourself accordingly, you may not reach the level of vibrance that you have managed within your body will determine how much sleep you need.

Let’s say you need 8 or 12 hours of sleep, whatever amount of sleep you need you will know how much you need.

So if you go to bed early enough, you will come awake naturally.

And if you have any doubt concerning whether you will come awake naturally, you can have a certain chant to help you.

There you download a free Mantra CD (Vairagya).

If you identify one of the chants that I have gathered, you can use it.

2)    Getting up from the right side of the bed. (從右側起床)

Physiologically, one important aspect of you is your heart, the pumping station, for your blood circulation which comes to life across the body.

If this thing doesn’t happen, then nothing will happen.

It starts from the left side.

In India, people tell you that you must roll your right side and get up.

While the activity is slow and you are in a state of relaxation, the body is also in relaxation, and the metabolism is also slow. But when you get up, there is an urge for activity.

All the whole science of living things have built into your life in India, but you are just throwing them away.

In yoga, they told you that before you get up, you must rub your hands together and place them upon your eyes gently. Why are you doing this? Because by doing this, you will see God. It’s not about seeing God.

If you rub these two hands together, instantly, a whole range of nerves connecting with your eyes and other aspects of your senses come awake before you move your body.

Your body and your brain should be active. You shouldn’t get up dumb. That’s the central point.  Since all the nerve endings, a heavy concentration in these two palms. the system comes awake after rubbing them. 

If you are feeling asleep or sleepy, do this and see, everything will then come awake.

So in the morning, before you move your body, you get your nerve system awake first. And then you roll over from the right and then get up.    

8.     Wake up with a smile. (帶著微笑起床)

Today, if all of us go to bed, by tomorrow morning, nearly a quarter-million of people won’t wake up.  Natural death in the world.

Suppose you wake up tomorrow, but can you guarantee? Have you come out with a guarantee card? So let’s say you wake up, just do this much I’m telling you, this is a simplv first step to your spiritual process. Tomorrow morning, when you come awake, it needs at least a little celebration. You don’t have to get up and dance.

At least, you can smile. Till on, what a million people died, they were like you and me. They went off, isn’t it? Wherever you look, they are not there.

Here I am still alive. One big smile, will you?

I’m talking about management.

Then if a quarter-million people died, three to five million people lost somebody who’s dear to them.

You check those three, four, or five people, no matter to you, all of them are alive today.

One more big smile. Will you smile or not?

Suppose right now, we put a gun to your head, will you think it is a relief? No. You will be terrified, isn’t it?

So it’s how precious it is to believe, isn’t it so?

That’s how precious it is for you to be alive.

So tomorrow morning, a quarter-million people died overnight, but you are still alive, doesn’t it at least deserve a big smile?

And all the people that matter to you are all alive today, one more big smile.
