The Benefits of Meditation - Greater ability to sleep at a deeper level

To be able to sleep well and deeply is a wonderful gift, providing us with the ability to recharge and gather our energies. Many people find it difficult to sleep, or find that their sleeping isn’t constant or deep enough, as a result they don’t awake refreshed in the morning.

One of the main reasons for not being able to sleep or having agitated, disturbed sleep is the thought patterns we have had in our mind during the day and in particular what we’re thinking just before we fall asleep.

Overactive analysis produces an endless stream of conception, a constant flow of consciousness appearing to have a life of itself…from its own side. So we may lie physically still, but a strong undercurrent of energy is controlling us – like an iced river, still on the top but a continuous stream of movement underneath.

The classical breathing meditation practice  can aid our sleep. It’s a healthy, organic, natural way of creating a very calm environment which we can then fall into a deep nourishing sleep from.
