Taking naps in the day-time

[Unseen_Abilities]

Even better if laying on the grass, on a warm day, in the shade, underneath a tree .

 

Haven't been able to pull that one off yet.

Not sure, OP- if you are subtly saying this is causing your problems.

 

If it is, I'd question any type of drugs, herbs, etc - IF this be the case

I found it: Todd Murphy about God and the brain:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eid6fiAj8WY

I highly recommend the whole series, he is talking about chakras, kundalini, psychic powers, enlighteneing and reincarnation among others.

 

It is in a way an example of the "best" science can offer on the subject. Interesting but not much there.

In Mexico they cal it siesta .

 

I have had friends hear my voice; I mean friends a couple thousand miles away.

 

I feel that when it is even stronger than a lucid dream that it is actually happening, somewhere somehow. And/or it is happening on a plane more dense than the astral.

When not working on a show, I nap almost every day in between Qigong sets and walking meditations.

All those naps I didn't want when I was four... I'll take those now thanks.

 

Sometimes it's my body telling me to go under and then it's often the mind. I find a mid-day nap to be a bit like rebooting a computer. A quick recalibration. I also have had many valuable dream experiences sleeping at off times, allowing higher, more intense lucidity.

 

Good stuff all around. I have yet to find a downside to it personally.

My first experience with that was in Italy. Many there take siesta too.

In Ethiopia it's called 'callisthenics'.

Man but those Ethiopians can sleep.

Any time, anywhere.

A 'guide' once led our horseback trek up a mountain ledge trail and down the other side.

He was snoring all the way and his horse looked pretty sleepy too.

In Coptic ( anecdotally) the word for 'awake' translates into English as 'in between naps'.

Viva la siesta!

 

I love the various Meso American practices around siesta as a dreaming practice and a very important part of the day.

 

But even that aside, it just feels good to me. Keeps my waking life more vital, refreshed and relaxed, and somehow keeps me more porous in relationship to my unconscious mind, and my ability to receive its data..
