Meditation is no joke! I woke up early with a racing heart, took my xanax and that did nothing. I found a meditation online and did it for twenty minutes and fell alseep and only just woke back up now because my alarm went off. That was really fantastic. My heart rate went from 98 to 81 and I feel a million times better!

Yes Park,

Yoga and Meditation is amazing. You learn to control your mind and body...if you want to seriously learn to do it, you should take classes. A lot of my friends who have learned/studied meditation and yoga no longer rely on medication for relief. You will learn to control your emotions as well..such as anger and fear.

I take yoga now, but am learning meditation.

I'm skeptical because I'm nuts. I can't shut off the brain.

John,

One of my biggest problems is shutting off my brain! This meditation gave me directives and it REALLY relaxed me. I mean, I am queen of insomnia and haven't been able to take a nap since college and lemme tell ya, I felt great. An hour after I did it, I checked my Hr again and it was 69. I'm feeling a little wound up now, so I actually wanna go home and do it again!

We really do have it within us to self-calm by using these techniques...

...there are lots of videos for guided meditation...finding one that resonates with you is a worthwhile venture for sure...you just proved that!

Thank you for sharing what will surely be inspiring to others.:)

Great Job Park!!! Keep up with the meditation, it works!

Meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and walks have done me a world of good!!! One of my fave YouTube channels for guided meditation is a guy named Michael Sealey. Good stuff!

My husband and I went to sleep using that meditation that I found and even though the guys voice is a little corny, we were both out cold!

So in other words, your insomnia is cured now. :)
Melatonin + meditation has worked for you.
Posted 3/27/2015 2:17 PM (GMT 0)
Haha! No, I wouldn't go that far, Melodee. I took an ambien and melatonin and did the meditation. I still woke up at 1:45, but did go back to sleep. I just think the meditation is helping to slow me down and prepare me for sleep. It's making me feel good when I may otherwise feel a little wired.

I'm so glad it seems to be working, keep at it and hopefully before you know it you will be sleeping like a baby all thru the night!! Wishing you much Success!!

Megan, can I get the link?

Scaredy, perhaps. :P
Posted 3/30/2015 6:19 PM (GMT 0)
For some reason I can't seem to copy and paste it from my phone. I can email it to you if you'd like? Or I can try and send to Scaredy and see if she can make it accessible for all of us. Either way!

John, edit your post and delete your email now that park has it, or the spammers will get it.

Oh yes!!!!! Delete John!

There are so many rules in life. I can't keep up.

Got it.

Good. Try it at bedtime. It seems to be working for me!

I'm excited for the guy's corny voice.
