Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sat Nam, I've been practicing bed yoga since the seventies, adding techniques as Yogi Bhajan gave them out, and have compiled them into free downloads to Rise and Shine, for Cold Water Therapy and Deep Sleep. You will find yogic sleep aids at this link: http://www.yogagems.com/dailyyoga/deepsleep.html. Sweet and blissful dreams!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sat Nam! Yogi Bhajan gave Shabd Kriya for this. If practiced on a regular basis, once a week or even every night, your sleep will be deep and relaxed. The control of the rhythm of the breath strengthens the nervous system and regenerates the nerves. After a few months, the rhythm of your breath will be subconsciously regulated and eventually you will internally chant the mantra while you are sleeping. You may wake up to the internal chant of the mantra and hear it in your daily activities. " There cannot be enough praise of the meditation's effect on the personality. It gives the mind the power to stretch to infinity, promotes radiance, patience and practical universality. " This is a good meditation to do to recover from fatigue caused by normal daily stress, travel and even jet lag. DIRECTIONS MUDRA-HAND POSITION Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine. Hands are in the lap in Buddha Mudra: palms up, right hand resting on top of left. The thumbs touch and face forward. EYES The eyes focus at the tip of the nose with the eyes about 9/10th closed. There are several ways to facilitate looking at the tip of the nose. Bring your forefinger in front of your face and look at it. Keep looking at the forefinger and slowly bring the forefinger to the tip of the nose. To facilitate the concentration at the tip of the nose, do the following exercise. Bring the arms out to your sides parallel to the ground, palms up. Do breath of fire for 1-3 minutes. This exercise balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which makes it easier to maintain the focus of the two eyes. The eyes focused at the tip of the nose causes the optic nerves to cross at the third eye. Thus it is easier to bring your mental focus to the third eye while the eyes are directed at the tip of the nose. Both the pineal and the pituitary glands and the area between them are stimulated by this eye posture, which has the effect of breaking old habits and creating new ones. BREATHING AND MANTRA Inhale 4 equal parts through the nose, i.e. the inhale is divided into 4 sniffs. Mentally vibrate SA TA NA MA with the four parts of the inhale breath. Hold the breath and mentally repeat 4 repetitions of SA TA NA MA. This will be 16 counts SA TA NA MA SA TA NA MA SA TA NA MA SA TA NA MA Then exhale in 2 equal strokes, mentally projecting WAHE GURU TIME Continue for 11, 15, 22, 31 or even 62 minutes. This meditation will often put you to sleep before you complete the allotted time. This meditation was originally taught by Yogi Bhajan April 1, 1974.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sat Nam Guru Prem Ji - When I clicked on the link you gave it said "Page not found." Is there something missing? I would love to see the compilations you have put together for sleep.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sat Nam, Thanks to Jot Singh I have learned that the link I gave for those wanting a deep sleep could not work because of a period at the end. Try again using this cleaned up version! http://www.yogagems.com/dailyyoga/deepsleep.html <http://www.yogagems.com/dailyyoga/deepsleep.html.> Loving Blessings.
