Q: What can I do about Insomnia ?? Which alot of us seem to deal with..
METHOD: When before you go to sleep. Duration : 5-30 minutes....of gentle gibberish
Gibberish , also know as Glossolalia, is the meditation technique of speaking in nonsense
sounds and syllables. This is a method that will help to empty the mind quickly. In this meditation it is good to begin first with gentle gibberish.
Usually we go on thinking and remembering ,even in our sleep. Gibberish will help to throw out whatever noise and commotion is in the mind.It can be done before going to sleep or whenever it is needed .Just begin talking in nonsense sounds and syllables.One sound will come and then another .Be totally into it as you can . Soon you may find yourself speaking in all sorts of foreign languages !! This is okay, as long as it is not a language that you know.
Speaking a language that you know will not help to empty the mind, because you can get
caught in the thoughts and the stories. Speaking nonsense sounds and syllables lets you say
anything you like, without either you or anyone else being able to figure out what is being said. You might at first feel shy, inhibited or even guilty {what am I saying ?! } But as you keep doing this ,you will see that it does its own work. Your gestures and the totality you bring to the glossolalia helps release all the noise that is accumulated in the mind.
The fact is the mind has gotten into a habit of chattering and it no longer remebers how to turn it off. This method allows the mind's tension and stress to be released . And as you become emptier, it will be easier to fall asleep. At night, through dreams and thoughts, the mind is trying to empty itself for the next day, and it has to do this so you are ready to face life again. This method is creating a situation and an invitation for quietness to come and for sleep or perhaps deeper sleep to happen.
