Wanted: Sleep – Oil Massaging

When I first started doing oil massages I used sesame oil. However, after about three days I noticed that I began to break out. Then a previous student suggested that I try coconut oil. I would apply this in the morning and after I showered as well as at night before bed. Then again, when I applied oil before I bed, I massaged my scalp, temples and feet. This felt very relaxing and I did not continue to break out with the use of coconut oil.

Wanted: Sleep – Meditation

As Lad suggested, I decided to practice a So-Hum meditation at night. In addition, I would focus on my third eye. It didn’t take long after beginning meditation for me to fall asleep. In fact, I find myself drifting off in class during this meditation practice.

Wanted: Sleep – Success

It is difficult to pin point one specific remedy that worked the most. Unless I did them separately, I believe I would never truly know which practice was the most useful. Perhaps it was a combination of all of them. Therefore, I will continue them for the time being. Drinking warm milk before bed I believe is a great alternative for tea. It not only appeals to the warm side that vata enjoys; it calms my stomach as well. As for massaging with oil, it definitely relieves the tension on my muscles. Also, my skin looks and feels amazing. Lastly, mediation helps deepen my yoga practice as well as reaching a short-term goal. Concluding, the end result was accomplished and very successful. I am now able to sleep soundly for six to eight hours a night, while additionally discovering some other beneficial variables as well.
