You may wonder why we are making such a claim. Look at the evidence. Visit the iTunes store or the Google Play store and search for apps that claim to help you sleep. You will notice that there is a slew of such innovations. Unfortunately, the inability to sleep properly (and soundly) is a problem that an increasing number of people face. According to a 2017 McKinsey & Co. report, the sleep-health industry (anything from bedding and sound control to sleep consultants and prescription sleep aids) “is collectively estimated to be worth between $30 billion and $40 billion and has historically grown by more than 8% a year, with few signs of slowing down.” These numbers are simply staggering!

Irrespective of how you look at this subject, many people need help to get a good night’s rest. Not being able to sleep soundly has other repercussions on your overall well-being. It can give rise to health issues, impact your productivity levels, and even cause you to age faster.

So, what can you do if you suffer from the problem of disturbed sleep (or no sleep)? As always, the teachings of Master Choa Kok Sui can come to your rescue.

What causes Insomnia

There is speculation about the multiple causes of deep deprivation and much ongoing research on insomnia. There are possibly numerous causes for this phenomenon. But there is one primary cause. That is known as stress energy.

As MCKS taught us, “stress energy” is real. You may describe it differently (such as “I have something on my mind”), but people are increasingly stressed. The chief reasons for the same are today’s fast-paced lifestyles, competitive workplaces, financial strains, and being constantly bombarded for your attention. These stressors create other pressures on your life, such as your relationships. Husbands and wives often use each other as garbage cans since they tend to “dump” their emotional garbage and stress on each other, thereby straining marriages.

So, what is this stress energy? Stress energy is a broad term to encompass the energies created when we experience negative emotions such as irritation, anger, resentment, sadness, frustration, anxiety, fear, and all the others. Energetically, stress energy resembles grayish clouds floating around in your aura. Energies such as these impede the free flow of Prana in your body, manifesting as fatigue and pain.

To put this in context, how many of us suffer from neck and shoulder pain? Both of these are caused essentially by stress, energy, and anger. You would be shocked that about 80-90% of adults feel neck and shoulder pain.

Also, when you have stress energy floating around in your aura, it makes it all the more difficult to relax and feel peaceful. Those, in turn, affect our ability to fall asleep.

Having discussed the problem thoroughly, what might be the solution? Unsurprisingly (for those who are used to reading our articles), the solutions lie in using and applying Pranic Healing principles.

Sleep problems? How Pranic Healing can help

There are many techniques taught by Master Choa Kok Sui that you can use if you have a problem falling asleep. Here goes.

1. Exercise: You may be surprised at the first one. But this is a helpful remedy. Exercise helps the body expel unwanted, dirty, and diseased energies. You might have noticed that your mind becomes still after a heavy workout. Exercise immensely helps in cleaning the aura of stress energy. Vigorous exercise is preferable, but if you cannot do that, then 1-3 sets of preparatory pre-meditation whole-body exercises taught by MCKS are very effective. Give that a shot.

2. Take a Salt Bath: Salt and water are natural cleansers used since ancient times for purification. Before bedtime, a salt bath with lukewarm water effectively disintegrates negative emotions. It helps you (partially) cleanse and remove the stress-energy you may have gathered all day.

3. The Great Invocation: The Great Invocation is a powerful prayer for world service. However, it has several other applications and benefits. One of the benefits is that the prayer quickly balances all the chakras in the energy body. Doing this invocation up to 7 times is  sufficient to help you to get good sleep.

4. Cut Cords: Cords are energetic connections you make to others and events affecting your life. Negative and unwanted energetic connections drain you of your life force or Prana, thereby pulling you down. By cutting these cords, you disconnect from these negative situations and people in your life and tend to detach yourself from stressors. You can use the elementary technique taught in Basic Pranic Healing, the intermediate technique taught in Pranic Psychotherapy, or the more advanced technique taught in Pranic Weight Loss, Body Sculpting and Face Lift to sever these connections from your aura and chakras. This instantly calms you down and will make getting a good night’s sleep much easier.

5. Meditate: Doing any advanced meditation techniques is like taking a spiritual shower. The descent of the divine energy instantly flushes out the negative emotional energies from your aura, making you feel lighter and more peaceful. The Meditation on Twin Hearts is a helpful practice in cleansing your aura. However, given its energizing effects, some find it difficult to sleep at night after the meditation. It is tougher to sleep if you are feeling energized and revitalized. Thankfully, within the Pranic Healing system, another meditation is suitable for cleansing the daily emotional garbage from our system at night. This mediation is also open to all (including non-Pranic Healers) and is called the Meditation on the Lord’s Prayer. A genuinely uplifting practice, you can get the book (and the accompanying CD with the guided meditation) via our Pranic Healing Shop.

6. Mantas: Mantras are words of power and can help you pull down Divine energy, thereby flushing stress and other negative energies from your aura. Mantra practice for 10-15 minutes is effective in cleaning our energy body of unwanted negative energies. You could play the audio recordings by MCKS when you softly chant the mantra. You may also play the Om Shanti mantra while you attempt to sleep, given that the loving pinkish energy produced by this mantra is inherently relaxing and anti-insomnia. The audio recordings can be purchased online at our Pranic Healing Shop (the specific instructions for using mantras are also detailed in the product descriptions).

7. Healing: Another quick method is to do self-healing for stress. The basic protocol is available in the book The Ancient Art and Science of Pranic Healing, while the more powerful protocol is available in Pranic Psychotherapy. In general, 20-30 minutes of this protocol can relax you. Those with a background in Pranic Crystal Healing can also try laying on the crystals technique for extracting all stress energy from your chakras. For people with a more chronic problem, you can also apply the protocol for insomnia in the Advanced Pranic Healing book.

8. Pray: Finally, you can try Invocative Healing. Invocative Healing is done by praying (you can find this technique in your Pranic Healing textbooks). You can invoke anyone you like (the Supreme God, Lord Krishna, Lord Christ, it does not matter) and request that all the stress-energy be removed from your aura and chakras. It is very effective if done with the right attitude and reverence. Just be still and receptive. And do make sure you offer a short prayer of thanks.

You can apply some of these techniques together, though it is a good practice to exercise, take a salt bath, cut cords, do the Great Invocation, meditate, and pray regularly. You could experiment and see what works best for you. And the best part is that non-Pranic Healers could apply most of these techniques.
