After days in the fog it lifts and suddenly I can see in the north the sunlit slopes of Kangchendzönga the third highest mountain in the world. I am surprised by a thunderstorm and find shelter in a shepherd's hut. You learn techniques to positively influence your sleep through breathing and awareness exercises. Today we practice again the Progressive Muscle Relaxation, which has proven to be the most effective method for relaxation, according to Prof. Dieter Rieman (Guidebook Sleep Disorders). For this sleep course I have put together several effective elements. In this episode you will hear a recording of the thunderstorm in the Himalayas. The high quality audio recordings I made in India encompass the full audible spectrum of sound for maximum effect. Sounds of nature led to the fact that when we fall asleep, disturbing thoughts are replaced by positive ones and we can reduce stress and thus fall asleep better. When falling asleep, brain activity changes from a highly active state to a lower theta and delta vibration. Our limbic system can be brought into this vibration through meditation or by nudging it from the outside, In sleep therapy, I use recordings of delta and theta waves, as used in sleep labs, to provide a stimulus and excite these states. This improves many aspects of subjective experiences, emotions and moods and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Music: Relaxation is the secret of transformation. We will not be able to force a change, but only achieve it through a gentle path. The relaxation-promoting effect of music is one of the most intrinsic functions of this medium and has a stress-reducing potential, which has also been scientifically proven.
