The Dose:
Title: Is Sound sleep a dream? Try Grounded-in-the-Moment Technique


Many of us are constantly troubled by a lack of sound sleep - with its effect known to most.
Lethargy, Passivity, Ennui.

One cause - mind's thought processing continues during the so called sleep time. Physically the body is resting but mind is not getting its due share of "rest" (since it needs to process thoughts).

This 'overtime' by the mind is because of the daytime's unfinished business.
Complex situations created before us (like a quarrel with spouse) are inventoried to be processed 'later'. Subconsciously we refuse to deal with them right then and there. We choose to look away when the challenge faces us in that moment. This 'residue' is there at our bedside and quietly knocks into our dreams when we really want to sleep.


Grounded-in-the-Moment technique solves it for you. It means that you remain firmly grounded, looking completely fearlessly at this challenge that arises before you during the waking hour. This challenge could range from your not-so-good appraisal after an year's hard work to a sarcastic remark from a trusted friend. Things that usually make you demoralized, unhappy immediately or pretty soon after they 'occur' .

What it means to be Grounded-in-the-Moment? It is simple. For instance, when you aim at a dartboard, you don't move, shift, or look away. You are Grounded-in-the-Moment. You just focus on the challenge - The Bull's eye. You thus have all the capacity to solve and face the complex operation. Such a process finishes without any residue being left, any inventorying of issues for the mind to process later.

Of course, sometimes you are not able to solve the problem or overcome this challenge (i.e. you miss the Bull's eye!). Then what? Is there any residue left? The greatest fact about this technique is - irrespective of your success (and yeah...your failure) at the so-called 'successfully solving the problem', the residue is never left if you simply had faced the challenge in the first place - fully & finally without fearing it.

Its simple. Just look at the challenge as it arises. You meet it where it arises. Don't give it an opportunity to chase you, haunt you later.
Try NOT-leaving the daytime residue behind and experience a change.


Happy Sound Sleeping
