This is what you do to sleep? Watching the breath?

or perhaps listening to the sounds coming from the TV or from the street, or think any thoughts? Well, as it helps me sleep? I agree not very much help.
To sleep, have
to relax, to escape from thoughts, from experience. No need to listen to the TV or monitor breathing. Just go slowly and
starts to float away to sleep. Gradually, first relax the muscles a bit, toss and turn, trying elecsa comfortable. Then instead of thinking about the past day in his head begins to climb stuff, there are some images of the spot. Then
stop understanding where you are and who you are. Then go to sleep.
Was tired and tortured. Bach laid down and fell asleep. What are there thinking about the day, nothing worries, no thoughts except "I want to sleep." But this condition - fatigue + sleepy + anything I don't care cause? How to make so that it was fast? I don't know.
Put on headphones, sunglasses, lie down and
slowly start to fall to sleep-drowsiness. At some point you realize that mindmachine does not sleep (if this is certainly a session not to sleep) that she's trying to keep some kind of half-asleep state, a certain voltage in the brain. That this state is what we need. As the sleepy, relaxed, and calm attentiveness. The so-called alpha state. This is what we train.
The state comes not at once, if I overexcited some joyful (or Vice versa) event. Maybe even something to relax may not happen at all. This part of the Sauce is a condition.
During the session, feeling that a little was immersed and relaxed.
1. Now you can start to listen to the buzz and look at the blinking. After some time,
pop up. Get a very clear sense
here and now. In the normal bodrstvovanie not so easy is the "here and now" to grab and hold any long time.
2. Or rather more to let go of yourself and self-control. Falling, falling, falling... And then suddenly Wake up at the end of the half hour session with the words "What else?".
3. If during the dive-downs suddenly come back a bit of self-awareness (all of a sudden because we let go of self-control and he can before the end of the session and not to return. If to shake, to strain and try to control everything, then relax will not work.) So. Just realizing where you should try to look back. Not so in paragraph 1, the sounds and the blinking points. Deep into the darkness ahead for points, somewhere in there, not in this world. Flickering points, sounds, sensations of the body at some point fall out of perception, and before the eyes may appear the way. May or may not appear... the Picture can be in color, black and white, but always completely unexpected. Water, Marina, and suddenly some colored reflection on the water, oscillating on the waves. The images that I see are not solid, they do not cover me, I see them like a small, shapeless box with soft edges. I can't hear sounds, can't smell... Usually first, all the vague, faded, and suddenly for a moment is delightfully detailed. And if I allow myself to
even a drop to rejoice in I immediately returns from this vague far away to the humming and blinking. It is sad that again, you need to relax, to let go of control, to expect that the control will come back, and then peering into the void in nadezhdae something to see.
This is one reason that images appear only in a good mood. I just want to work, play with consciousness. And consciousness can give the gift of beautiful pictures.
Usually I just lie there, listening to the buzz, then I get tired of listening, self-control, attention and self-awareness disappear by themselves and I fall into an alpha state. Then begin to pay attention to bodily sensations. How relaxed and warm the leg. Then on the shoulders, notice that they are tense and trying to relax them. Then nachnu to monitor the tension in the head. This voltage may be in some part of the head or brain. It is possible to move, loosen, strengthen, expand, shrink. Honestly, I don't know what it is. It may need to be strengthened, and Vice versa to try from this stress to quit.
After that I go back to the shoulders and notice that they are again tight. And so on... Then I get bored and I just float into oblivion. Then if the session is long again begin to watch the sensations. It is sometimes possible to relax to such an extent that the hands do not feel. As if I have them or not.
After a session of relaxation, I feel cheerful and lively hour and a half. I want to do something, to think well, or for example to write deliyiannis posts on the forum mindmachine.
Mind car also starts to behave differently. Session like, and induce a state of, sort of not. For some it is not correct. Different, not like before.
The last thing that helps me is 10 ml novopassit, before the beginning of the session. Maybe with time I will find some other way to relax and get a good deep condition.<
