Marblehead Posted March 31, 2014 Lol. End of thread. Yeah, some things don't need be talked about much. We just do them. Like breathing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) We need 8 hours sleep each night. Daytime naps are a bonus. Worst time to fall sleep is whilst meditating. Edited March 31, 2014 by GrandmasterP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChiDragon Posted March 31, 2014 If you are meditaing while walking in the park, yes. I don't meditate while walking; only when I am sitting or standing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted March 31, 2014 There's a walking meditation in Mindfulness. Quite a nice cultivation but I prefer sitting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfTheGods Posted April 1, 2014 What do you think is the best time for sleep? The time of darkness where you are at- negative ionization I think this is more in line with your thinking? Sleep head/North Full moon- on your back 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tendou Posted April 1, 2014 The time of darkness where you are at- negative ionization I think this is more in line with your thinking? Sleep head/North Full moon- on your back Yes. Interesting. Never heard of the sleeping on your back during full moon. What is the benefit and at other moon phase which position are good? Or it doesn't really matter? If for example it gets really dark at 8 pm until 6 am. then what is the optimum time, healthwise? because I want to incorporate practise at night time/ midnight/ or wee hour of the morning. So, which time is good to wake up practising and which time better for sleep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, which time is good to wake up practising and which time better for sleep. You never heard of it because I just made that up lol But seriously, like Feng Shui- there is order to chaos, and an order of the highest order You can feel Qi more if you face West- but our bodies are polarised so sleeping in alignment to the poles is an occult truth Depending on how much you sleep- 7-8 hours, I would meditate 2 hours after you ate, last-, then ground afterwards, so that you are not feeling the flow too heavy while you sleep. On your back, especially after meditating- will promote OBE during heavy moon nights. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tendou Posted April 1, 2014 Haha. you got me there! I usually got obe like symptom or obe when sleeping after meditation. Energetic sensation are also more pronounced. There is something special about the state between falling asleep and awake that makes it especially good for energy practise. Maybe thats why practising while the mind is in trance state or similar to trance state somehow seems more effective. Have you or other here find that your need for sleep is lessened through practising meditation? I guess your mediattion must be deep to get this effect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SonOfTheGods Posted April 1, 2014 Sleeping on my right side does wonders. If I sleep on my stomach, I get congested with sinuses. If I sleep on my left side, I feel weird and can't stay asleep all night. The right side is just fine. Sleeping on the back is great but it stops my breathing at night. left side sleep is bad because the weight of your body rests on the heart shamans warn against this 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrandmasterP Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Yep, he reposed on his right side. There are statues showing that. There's a good lying down meditation position illustrated here in this free book. Chapter 2 page 24.... http://www.throssel.org.uk/uploads/book/chaptertwo.pdf On right side one hand under your head and left hand on left hip. I find it is a very nice position to sleep in.

Rara Posted April 8, 2014 I wouldn't stick to a set pattern. I mean, I can't force sleep upon myself. Sometimes I get 5 hours, or 6, or 9, or 10. It depends what my activities are like each week. Sometimes I use more energy one week and less another. It all averages itself out in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
