Comments on: How do other people deal with insomnia http://tandula.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/how-do-other-people-deal-with-insomnia/ So that others may want it too Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:33:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ohg Rea Tone http://tandula.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/how-do-other-people-deal-with-insomnia/#comment-76 Ohg Rea Tone Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:33:29 +0000 http://tandula.wordpress.com/?p=57#comment-76 I love your candor and honesty. A worldly person such as yourself has surely run across some Hindu mystic with the secrets of restful sleep. Perhaps pondering the wonders of our life, rather than what might be, fits somewhere in the formula. Many years ago I experimented with bio-feedback. The technician wired my fingers with a thermometer - the temperature of my fingers registered on a visible meter. The idea is this - when we are stressed our body naturally diverts our blood supply to our torso to protect our vital organs - thus our hands and feet cool with less blood flow. Learning to divert the blood back to our limbs presumably reverses the stress. Bio-feedback is designed to help learn how to warm our hands and feet - which has a calming affect. Those Hindus sitting on mountain tops in eastern India invest years in learning to control their blood flow - in America we want the fast and furious. Better living through technology. In any case, I can now warm my hands by about five degrees by merely thinking about it. I don't know if it reduces my stress - but it sure is distracting from life problems. Take Care.

Take Care.

Of ek doen Reiki op myself, werk elke keer, en ek het die voordeel van die Reiki. Ek doen presies wat jy sê, kyk na die patrone agter my oë.

En dan, 6h00, wanneer ek wil slaap, moet ek opstaan. Nou dink ek snags stories uit, staan saggies op en gaan skryf dit in shorthand neer. :-) 3h15 – Dis die tyd wat ek elke nag my oe vind oopvlieg en dan kan ek maar vergeet.
