See around.. you will find that every living being does need rest > this is the time when both brain & body are refreshed from the work they did. Know that it is during night's resting time that the soul gets detached from its body >> and this is how the body heals itself merely from deep sleep >> for this reason it is also said "𝓢𝓲𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻" >> it is during the deep sleep time that the soul gets detached from its body temporarily and the body is healed.

Must Read: Reducing sleep time is generally not recommended, as sleep is essential for physical and mental health. Most adults need 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. However, if you're looking to optimize your sleep schedule or adapt to changes in your daily routine, you can consider the following strategies to make your sleep more efficient rather than reducing sleep time:

1. Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Consistency helps regulate your body's internal clock.

2. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Engage in calming activities before bed, such as reading, gentle stretching, or deep breathing exercises. Avoid stimulating activities like watching intense TV shows, movies or working on your computer.

3. Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleep. It should be dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Consider using earphones, an eye mask, or a white noise machine if needed. Listen to relaxing nature sounds if that helps.

4. Limit Exposure to Screens: The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with your sleep. Avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime, or use blue light-blocking glasses or screen filters.

5. Watch Your Diet: Avoid heavy or spicy meals close to bedtime. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided, especially in the evening.

6. Stay Active: Regular physical activity can improve sleep quality, but avoid strenuous exercise close to bedtime, as it can be stimulating.

7. Limit Naps: If you take daytime naps, keep them short (20-30 minutes) and early in the day to avoid interfering with nighttime sleep.

8. Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques, such as mindfulness, meditation or deep breathing exercises, to manage stress and anxiety, which can disrupt sleep.

   
   

9. Get Exposure to Natural Light: Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Spend time outdoors, especially in the morning.

   
   

If you're interested in optimizing your sleep schedule, consider consulting a sleep specialist or healthcare provider for guidance specific to your needs and goals.

RajYog & Amritvela

Even better is when you add "rajyog" (meditation) to your routine... When we connect our mind (intellect) to Shiv Baba we receive the pure energy... this is soul energy and it refreshes us from every form of burden, sin or tiredness. Highest energy (vibrations) of the Supreme Soul (our spiritual father, Shiv Baba) uplifts our soul (the self) in every way.

✶LEARN: RajYoga meditation (our official guide)

⭐Amritvela is best time of the day >> and it is important to become detached from outer world & remember Shiv Baba alone. Remembering anything which binds you to this world, is not a complete detachment (which is essential to form a deep relationship with god)

🌷When the soul is filled with God's energy, the body receives it. Our body (of 5 senses) can transform this energy into power. With this energy/power, 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕗𝕦𝕟𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕒 𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕘𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕚𝕣𝕖𝕕. The time we spend in remembrance of shiv baba becomes our 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.
