Sleep Course India: 01 Sagar Island

Published: Nov. 6, 2020, 5 p.m.

Today I will take you to the starting point of my journey through India, I start on Sagar Island, which is located south of Calcutta in the river delta of the Hoogly River. The river washes the water from the north of the country here into the Bay of Bengal. We will do a short calming breathing exercise that a local yoga teacher showed me. The relaxation exercise is called "Ocean breath" and the music in this episode it is by Yonder Dale. To help your brain get from the active phase to a resting state, the episode is supported by delta and theta waves. The stimulation with theta waves helps you to fall asleep and triggers conditions that you may know from daydreaming. Treatment with theta waves can reduce anxiety and stress and significantly increase your overall well being. Another advantage of treatments with theta waves is that our brain “gets used” to these new states of consciousness in deep theta over time. Simply put, your brain learns to trigger these states of consciousness by itself, which means a profound change in your stress management and it improves the ability to sleep significantly.
