Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep is arguably the most important health issue in our lives - and most of us do not get enough of this restorative state. Life gets busy and sleep is all too often the first thing that gets cut in order to create more hours to finish other tasks, be it spending time with family, working from home or just trying to find a spare moment to enjoy some 'me time.' For many, this lack of sleep is not a deliberate action, but the result of health, insomnia, stress, poor nutrition or an underlying issue yet to be addressed. Inadequate sleep can lead to drastic measures to increase the quantity of sleep, including pharmaceuticals and even alcohol. Unfortunately, these methods are all too often temporary and do not increase the quality of sleep - leaving those afflicted tired, foggy and unable to perform to their potential. Yoga, long known as an almost miraculous exercise for body and soul, is the prescription you've been looking for to help you get that all important night of sleep. This easy to understand guide offers 12 techniques for improving your sleep patterns, ones that will lead to blissful sleep - and a better tomorrow.

Download or read book Yoga Nidra Meditation written by Pierre Bonnasse and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practice to consciously explore wakefulness, dreaming, deep sleep, and the very structure of your emotional, mental, and energy bodies • Details the simple postures of Yoga Nidra, breathing exercises and guided meditations, and tips for maintaining awareness in the liminal state that precedes sleep • Explains how Yoga Nidra allows you to explore different states of consciousness and any blockages in the emotional, mental, and energy bodies • Includes four complete sessions as well as pointers for creating your own sessions Known as the “yoga of conscious sleep,” Yoga Nidra is an ancient Indian practice that allows you to consciously explore the states of wakefulness, dream, and deep sleep as well as your own psyche by combining deep relaxation with attentive awareness. Stemming from Hindu, Buddhist, and Tantric philosophies, the practice--which could be called the “sleep of the sages”--centers on techniques for putting the mind and body to sleep while keeping your consciousness alert. Through Yoga Nidra you can directly observe and understand specific physiological, emotional, and mental processes within yourself as well as experience moments of great inner tranquility, joy, and well-being. Providing a step-by-step guide to Yoga Nidra, Pierre Bonnasse offers a full range of practices focused on the time of awakening and that of going to sleep, yet adaptable to any time of day or night. He details the simple postures of Yoga Nidra and includes preparatory techniques that work with breath and guided meditations to help you become an attuned observer of your inner world. Offering tips for withdrawing the senses and maintaining awareness in the liminal state that precedes sleep, the author explores how all practices in this discipline begin with a phase of relaxation and observation of breathing, followed by immersion into a very subtle awareness of the physical, energy, and mental bodies. He explains how Yoga Nidra sessions allow you to discover “that which is held on to,” making it is easier to let go and become free from all states and processes. A session can explore different states of consciousness as well as your senses, desires, and fears. The higher states of more advanced sessions focus on the energy body and its components: the chakras, nadis, and pranavayu, the vital breath and autonomic functions of the body. Including four complete sessions as well as pointers for creating your own, Bonnasse shows how Yoga Nidra offers positive, stabilizing, and therapeutic effects for the body, emotions, and thoughts. It is the ideal practice for getting rid of stress, anxiety, and the fear of death the source of all other fears. Connecting Indian and Western philosophical ideas, the author shows how sleep can be an opportunity to practice a form of yoga that changes not only our nights but every minute of our days.

Download or read book Sick and Tired written by Emily K. Abel and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine finally has discovered fatigue. Recent articles about various diseases conclude that fatigue has been underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Scholars in the social sciences and humanities have also ignored the phenomenon. As a result, we know little about what it means to live with this condition, especially given its diverse symptoms and causes. Emily K. Abel offers the first history of fatigue, one that is scrupulously researched but also informed by her own experiences as a cancer survivor. Abel reveals how the limits of medicine and the American cultural emphasis on productivity intersect to stigmatize those with fatigue. Without an agreed-upon approach to confirm the problem through medical diagnosis, it is difficult to convince others that it is real. When fatigue limits our ability to work, our society sees us as burdens or worse. With her engaging and informative style, Abel gives us a synthetic history of fatigue and elucidates how it has been ignored or misunderstood, not only by medical professionals but also by American society as a whole.
