Sleep, which was considered as a simple biological necessity, has become increasingly elusive for many people today. With society’s emphasis on stress and busy schedules, as well as being constantly stimulated digitally, many people have found it difficult to get good quality sleep.
A survey revealed that almost 1 out of 2 Indians claim they don’t get enough sleep on most nights, while over 45% claim stress and work pressure are among the biggest reasons for disrupted sleep patterns. This leads to decreased productivity during the day, lack of emotional stability, poor immune system response and other issues.One of the major problems we face in getting quality sleep today is the endless stimulation our minds receive throughout the day.
Many people scroll their phones until late at night. The survey also found that close to 90% of Indians access their phones just before going to bed, and many also wake up in the middle of the night to check their notifications or messages, thereby disturbing their sleep patterns. As a result, our nervous systems remain in a state of alertness when in fact we should be winding down and getting ready for a good night’s sleep.
With the growing problem of sleep problems, people are now looking at holistic solutions to help them overcome their problems. Among these solutions is Pranic Healing, a no-touch energy healing technique pioneered by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui. It provides techniques that people can use to help them relax and get a good night’s sleep.
How does Pranic Healing help?
Through various techniques that are taught in the Basic Pranic Healing class, one of the most empowering attributes is that you can apply Pranic Healing techniques on yourself.Pranic Healing is a system that uses simple methods for cleansing and energizing the energy field of the body. Our bodies will take on stress, emotional tension, and mental fatigue over the course of the day. Before going to sleep, performing self Pranic Healing will help remove this built-up stress and bring back balance to the chakras and the aura. By calming the nervous system and relaxing the body, an individual can go into restful sleep much more smoothly by practicing Self Pranic Healing.
A case study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research found that there were positive results in addressing the symptoms of insomnia by using Pranic Healing techniques as a complementary therapy to improve stress and sleep.Twin Hearts Meditation is another technique taught in the Pranic Healing that can be easily integrated into one’s daily routine. This technique is performed through guided meditation and takes around 21 minutes to complete.
The meditation also activates the heart and crown centers and cultivates feelings of love, peace, and calmness within the individual. As the individual blesses the earth with loving kindness during the meditation, their heart chakra activates, and emotional stress begins to melt away.
The practice also serves the purpose of cleansing the aura and the chakras, resulting in feelings of calmness and clarity in life.
This helps reduce any clutter in the mind, allowing for an easier and more natural sleep.Besides Twin Hearts Meditation and the practice of Self Pranic Healing, another practice that is simple yet effective is the practice of having a saltwater bath before going to bed. The saltwater is believed to help in disintegrating the stress and negative energies that are accumulated throughout the day. A short bath by applying and leaving on a salt scrub for 1-2 minutes makes the body feel light and relaxed.As the discussion on sleep health continues to evolve, practices such as Pranic Healing emphasize the need to foster the mind as well as the energy body. The incorporation of simple practices such as self-pranic healing, twin hearts meditation, and saltwater baths into a person’s nightly routine may be a powerful tool for improving the quality of sleep. It may, in turn, improve the quality of a person’s life.Sriram Rajagopal, Director, World Pranic Healing, India
