How to ENJOY QUALITY SLEEP and CONQUER INSOMNIA
A simple, doable and no-cost technique to get quality sleep and conquer insomnia is ‘Focusing on breathing’. It works even for children. It never fails. The simplest way of practicing this technique lying in the bed is
**** “Touch the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger and breathe three times. Repeat this at each of the tips of the next three fingers. At the thumb, place the tip of the index finger at the base of the thumb and breathe three times. Then switch to the other hand and repeat the same practice. Continue this practice switching hands, till you automatically fall asleep.****
One practitioner called it “Moronically simple yet works like a magic!” Variety of testimonials from practitioners and doctors can be seen in this page http://countingbreaths.com/fob/relax/benefits#insomnia
