jaikaara Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Avoid heavy spicy stuff post evening ..and train your mind to focus and slow down ..insomnia starts with thoughts racing across your mind, maybe due to stress and worries . Deep breathing and meditation will be very helpful. 1 Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) There are plenty of youtube videos with natural healing sounds such as - rain, streams, waterfalls, ocean..those can help also. Edited September 11, 2015 by N30 S!NGH 1 Quote
Popular Post paapiman Posted September 11, 2015 Popular Post Report Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) train your mind to focus and slow downGreat point paaji. One of the ways, one can do that is to listen to katha, while in sleeping posture. That might help, especially if you fully concentrate on the katha. Choose the katha according to your level. Don't listen to katha of advanced topics, which one cannot easily comprehend, as the mind will get a chance to wander again.Some other tips which might help:- Avoid caffeinated drinks.- Try to maintain a regular/fixed schedule.- Hardcore physical workout.- Hardcore mental workout (puzzles, math problems, reading books, self-tests, etc).- Avoid sitting on computer/playing games/watching movies/listening to loud music before sleeping.- Self-hypnosis might help too.- Hot shower.- Warm milk.- Cold dark room (take blankets obviously -- be comfortable) -- make sure minimum light comes in.- Have a look a this - http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/living-with-insomnia-11/natural-solutions- Air purifiers.- Humidifiers or Dehumidifiers, depending on the situation.- You can try Baheda Churan.QuoteDivya baheda churna is a very good natural remedy for the treatment of nervous disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, stress, depression, etc. Divya baheda churna provides natural nutrients to brain cells and prevents stress, insomnia, depression and anxiety.

dalsingh101 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Posted September 11, 2015 I've dealt with insomnia since I was young. It went away for a good few years and just popped back up recently. I think having coffee just before training in the evening probably doesn't help. 0 Quote

paapiman Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Yes. I do go caffeine free periodically. I guess it's time again. Just got to use up that pot of double cream I just bought! lolBro, try doing jaap of the following shabad. This shabad is part of Sri Dukh Bhanjani Sahib jee. It seems, one of the reasons Satguru jee has uttered it, is to cure sleep related disorders. ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:ਰੋਗੁ ਗਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਆਪਿ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥The disease is gone; God Himself took it away.ਨੀਦ ਪਈ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜ ਘਰੁ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥I sleep in peace; peaceful poise has come to my home. ||1||Pause||ਰਜਿ ਰਜਿ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਖਾਵਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥Eat to your fill, O my Siblings of Destiny.ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦ ਮਾਹਿ ਧਿਆਈ ॥੧॥Meditate on the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your heart. ||1||ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਰਨਾਈ ॥Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Perfect Guru,ਜਿਨਿ ਅਪਨੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਰਖਾਈ ॥੨॥੮॥੨੬॥who has preserved the honor of His Name. ||2||8||26|| Bhul chuk maaf 2 Quote

paapiman Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) I love that shabad. I don't think it was specifically designed to be an insomnia cure though... lolBro, you can also do a jaap of that shabad using Sampat bidhi. First, recite Mool mantar, then the shabad (recite Satnaam Sri Waheguru, where ever there is a number) and then mool mantar at the end too. For the last tuk, recite mool mantar after the word "ਰਖਾਈ ". Then recite "Satnaam Sri Waheguru" three times, as there are three numerals at the end. This Bidhi increases the effectiveness of the shabad. Some more Shabads, related to sleep: ਤਾ ਤੂੰ ਸੁਖਿ ਸੋਉ ਹੋਇ ਅਚਿੰਤਾ ॥So sleep in peace, and don't worry. ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਬੁਧਿ ਅਰਪੀ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਕਉ ਤਬ ਹਮ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੋਏ ॥੩॥But when I dedicated my mind, body and intellect to my Lord and Master, then I began to sleep in peace. ||3|| ਸਹਜੇ ਜਾਗਣੁ ਸਹਜੇ ਸੋਇ ॥They awaken in peace and poise; they sleep in peace and poise. ਸੁਣਿ ਸਖੀਏ ਮੇਰੀ ਨੀਦ ਭਲੀ ਮੈ ਆਪਨੜਾ ਪਿਰੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ॥Listen, O my companions: now I sleep well, since I found my Husband Lord. ਤਿਸਹਿ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜੇ ਸੋਊ ॥Give them up, and sleep in intuitive peace and poise. ਜਿਹ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁਖਿ ਸੇਜ ਸੋਈਜੈ ॥By His Grace, you sleep in a cozy bed; ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਖਿ ਸੋਈਐ ਹਾਂ ॥I sleep in peace and poise. ਆਉ ਸਭਾਗੀ ਨੀਦੜੀਏ ਮਤੁ ਸਹੁ ਦੇਖਾ ਸੋਇ ॥Come to me, O blessed sleep - perhaps I will see my Husband Lord again. ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਹੁ ਮਤੀ ਛਡਿ ਆਸਾ ਨਿਤ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਉਦਿਆ ॥੨॥Please bless servant Nanak, O God, with such understanding, that abandoning false hopes, he may always sleep in peace. ||2|| ਅਬ ਮੋਹਿ ਨੀਦ ਸੁਹਾਵੈ ॥and now, sleep seems sweet to me. ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਾ ਕਾ ਮੇਲੀ ਸਰਬਤ ਸਉ ਨਿਸੁਲ ਜਨ ਟੰਗ ਧਰਿ ॥The Lord is the friend and companion of His devotees; all His humble servants stretch out and sleep in peace. ਹਭੇ ਸੁਖ ਸੁਹੇਲੜਾ ਸੁਤਾ ਜਿਤਾ ਜਗੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥੨॥I sleep in total peace and comfort; I have conquered the whole world. ||2|| ਸੁਖਿ ਸਵੰਧਿ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਪਿਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਗੁਣਤਾਸੁ ॥੩॥The happy soul-brides sleep in peace; they find their Husband Lord, the treasure of virtue. ||3|| ਤਬ ਕਾੜਾ ਛੋਡਿ ਅਚਿੰਤ ਹਮ ਸੋਤੇ ॥੩॥So I have abandoned sadness, and I now sleep without anxiety. ||3|| ਸੁਖਿ ਸੋਇਓ ਅਰੁ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਓ ਸਹਸਾ ਗੁਰਹਿ ਗਵਾਏ ॥They sleep in peace, and intuitively merge into the Lord. The Guru takes away their cynicism and doubt. ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਵਨੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਸਹ ਨਾਲਿ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥੨॥O Nanak, the blessed soul-brides sleep in peace; they are in love with their Husband Lord. ||2|| Bhul chuk maaf Edited September 12, 2015 by paapiman 2 Quote

amardeep Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Paapiman you should get hold of the Sri Gurmat sakhi Pramaan from the early 1800s. It has the uthanka of 530 shabads. 0 Quote
