Tips to fight insomnia
All of us know what it's like to go through a few nights of poor or
no sleep. We feel tired and cranky, and our energy levels are low the
next day. When sleep is affected often or almost all the time, the
condition can become debilitating, both mentally and physically.
Alternative healing offers a number of remedies for insomnia, which may
help people who sleep poorly or cannot sleep at all. They do not have
any side effects, and work slowly but surely on your system. They help
you relax and sleep better. Here are a few alternative remedies:
Yoga nidra: Described as the "sleep of the yogis", this ancient
practice of consciously relaxing the body allows you to gradually
release all stress and relax completely. It's best done with an
experienced teacher or by playing a CD late in the evening or in the
afternoon. Yoga nidra allows complete relaxation and is highly
beneficial as it brings back balance in your energy centres and restores
harmony.
Lavender, neroli and chamomile are some of the essential oils which
can either be blended to make a massage oil or be burnt in diffusers in
the bedroom. Known to promote tranquillity, these oils help in reducing
stress levels considerably.
Chamomile tea is considered the "wind me down" beverage as it helps
in relaxing the nerves and muscles; relieves backache and is generally
soothing. Flavoured and easily available, a cup is recommended an hour
before bedtime so that its natural sedative properties set in. Healing
crystals, if properly cleansed and energized, can be placed by your
bedside or under the pillow. The ideal soothing stones which help
relieve anxiety
and promote deeper relaxation include amethyst, blue lace agate,
chrysopase and green tourmaline, all easily available in India.
Soothing pastel colours for bed linen and walls help in relaxation.
These colours, especially pink, peach, mauve, light green and sky blue,
resonate at a higher level and work to bring our energies back in
balance. (This excerpt has been taken from timewellness.com)
