Today I’d like to share an insomnia breathing tip that I recently mailed to my natural health and meditation newsletter subscribers.
The first one is a Hindu breathing technique called Ujjayi, and here’s how to do it when you want to fall asleep at night:
- When you’re in bed and ready to head for dreamland, close your eyes and slowly take four or five long, deep breaths through your nose.
- Now slightly tighten your throat muscles and visualize breathing through an opening in your throat.
- If you’re doing this correctly, your breathing will make a soft sound like ocean waves as the air passes through your throat.
- Continue this technique softly on each inhalation and exhalation.
- If it feels like you’re breathing through your throat instead of your nose, you’re doing Ujjayi correctly.
Before too long, the sound and feel of “throat breathing” will guide you into a deep and peaceful sleep.
That’s the insomnia breathing tip for today.
Oh, one more thing. I’ve also developed a power CD that’s helping a lot of insomniacs around the world, and I hope you’ll click here to read the interesting story of how I created my NightTrain Sleep System CD.
