  1. Soothe Your Night Environment: When you create a soothing environment of dusk and darkness, your body lets go. Since electricity and electronics stimulate us night and day, we use Evening Rituals and Night Nest techniques to relax the body and increase the natural production of melatonin.
  2. Befriend the Body: Allow your Unconscious Mind to emerge by getting into your body (instead of thinking about it). Restful Insomnia teaches how to release tension with Night Yoga and lessen the impact of physical difficulties.
  3. Diminish the Thinking Mind: Our minds can make us ecstatic—or miserable. You can release the hold of your mind at night with Restful Insomnia techniques such as inquiry, cognitive behavior changes, intuition, and body sensations.
  4. Release the Hold of Emotions: Emotions are linked to our thoughts in a circular fashion—a belief can trigger an emotional response, and an emotional response can reinstate a belief. Too much feeling and thinking when we’re trying to rest! Reduce the intensity of emotional distress using Energy Medicine, Tapping Techniques, and Wisdom Writing.
  5. Tap into the Natural or Spiritual Self: What’s left when you diminish the emotions, thinking mind, and your bodily activity? Sleep of course, and also a connection with the larger perspective on life, the balance of nature  and/or a spiritual dimension. Restful Insomnia helps you find a spiritual center—which helps you diminish the hold of the Conscious Mind.

Enjoy your nights,
