Every once in a while you run across a suggestion to help the general population from the different LISTSERVES like the one from St. John's University which happens to be dedicated to allowing the members to ask & answer questions regarding POST-POLIO SYNDROME (also known as "The Late Effects of POLIOmyelitis") (Scout@skally.net)
So often we don't try the non-harmful solutions to every day problems (like trying to relax the mind so you can nap or go to sleep), before using medications as the solution. The hint, written below, is about the use of meditation to help you nap or sleep.
It works for some and not for others ---- It might be worth a try!
POST-POLIO-MED@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU
Here is a simple meditation that will help you shut down your mind so
you can rest.
~ Inhale the Color Red, let it fill your lungs, picture it in your head
filling your lungs, then exhale the color.
~ Do this with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Sky Blue, Midnight Blue and a Deep Purple. Bet'cha can't get through the whole set till you are relaxed and asleep.
~ Should you want to kick the meditation a notch, instead of doing colors, do things that smell like the colors-- red-roses or red delicious apples. You will be amazed how each color is assoicated within your mind to a smell.
I have been using this and more advanced meditations to get less
stressed for years. The above is a good sound basic meditation.
Enjoy,
Robert, Ft Lauderdale
