From Atlantis - Techniques How To Fall Asleep Fast Naturally

The ancients of Atlantis, and the sages of Lemuria before them, were much aware of the critical importance of adequate sleep as a pillar of good health and that regular sleep is vital to the life process.

Thus they developed methods and techniques compatible with the body-electric, the human body, that you can apply to induce fast sleep naturally.

For instance, if you are generally in good health and having difficulty falling asleep, the first thing to do is to calm your body down. That can be a tall task to accomplish until you involve the governor of your nervous system. Let it be sufficient to know that that governor resides somewhere in your head, and you may call it the brain, for the sake of simplicity.

So, you lie down on your back, legs straight and arms stretched outwards. Be sure that your neck is comfortable. There should be nothing tight on your body, all clothing must be loose. Gently close your eyes, gently at first and then open them, then repeat that four times with each successive time closing your eyes tighter. Secondly, tense your jaws, release, and repeat four times.

Thirdly, slowly tense your arms by making very tight fists, release and repeat four times. You do this one arm at a time.

Fourthly, lift your left leg just two inches up, hold it up there , tense it, and count to four, one-two-three-four, then gently lower it down. Now go to your right leg and lift it just two inches up in the air, hold it up there, tense it, and count up to four, one-two-three-four. Now gently lower it down.

What you have done thus far, is relaxation of your body physical. I have found that raising your legs, as above and a bit higher, say one foot and counting up to eight, gives you far better relaxation.

Already then, you should by now be feeling physically relaxed, comfortable and settled, no more shifting about. You now move into the realm of the governor mentioned above by taking a slow deep breathe, breath-in through your nostrils, mouth closed. Hold that in-breath to a count of four, one-two-three-four. Next release that breathe, breath-out slowly through your mouth.

Repeat that sequence four times and do each step s-l-o-w-l-y. Breath in via your nose, mouth closed, hold the breathe to a slow count of four, and release the breathe through your mouth .( A higher count of say up to eight will give you a much deeper, d-e-e-p-e-r relaxation. You may pursue that after a few days of practice, if you wish).

With your body and mind now in relaxation mode, you start to mentally go back in your day backwards. Let us take it that you are settling in for your night's sleep. You see yourself putting on your pajamas, coming into your bedroom, eating dinner, arriving from work, traveling home, leaving work, at work, having lunch, arriving at work, traveling to work, leaving your house for work, having break fast, washing your face, waking up that morning. You are mentally going back through the day b-a-c-k-w-a-r-d-s.

Do not, repeating, do not analyze anything, just observe. It is as if you are watching a movie.

Be sure to mentally see everything that happened, exactly as it happened, engage all the five senses, sight, sound, smell, taste and touch

If you have done the relaxation sequences as above properly and s-l-o-w-l-y, you will be fast asleep naturally and in deep sleep well before you reach halfway back through the day.

The next posting at the site, http://www.thesleepdeprivationphenomenon.com will be another how to sleep fast technique from the time that imagination forgot, Atlantis and Lemuria, in the quest to overcome the sleep deprivation phenomenon and thus enjoy good health.
You should always remember that the purpose of life is joy.

Having bounced back from the edge of disaster, this is an effort to convey lessons learned with take-away usable tips. Allow me to point out the obvious that is ignored by most. The more we move away from nature and her very simple definite laws, man or woman will sooner than later "crash and burn" And for lack of knowledge in action, a people surely perish. This site is one of my humble contribution of practical resources in your determined pursuit for better health. As someone once said , it is in your hands.
