In a matter of days, I was finding it difficult to fall asleep. All kinds of thoughts were haunting me, mind was processing these thoughts restlessly. There were nights I had slept for 4 to 5 hours and working following day, continuously for more than 10-12 hours. I tried hard, counting numbers 1 to 100, back to 1 with deep breaths, I remained wide awake. Eventually, I started watching movies to kill time, late nights sometimes till early mornings.
This went for weeks. Lower back pain started showing up, some days it was so severe. I felt intense pain when waking up in the morning. The back pain had completely vanished after my cult fit workouts. This was getting worse.
I started working out at home, thanks to live.fit. But my sleeplessness continued. Unfortunately, there was no relief to my lower back pain also.
My comrade friend was also facing the Insomnia. We decided to hack our way through this. We analysed the situation. It was very clear that, our problems were playing in our minds, causing restlessness in brain. It was a vicious cycle, sleeplessness was causing disturbing thoughts, which in turn was keeping the brain awake. As the brain was not getting enough rest, the body was not getting recovery time.
We concluded that one way is to find solutions to problems. If that is not possible, most of the times we can't solve what we can't control. We can try to improve situation. That is what comrade chose.
It was not possible in my case.
Around this time two things happened.
While cleaning my stuff, I found this book, Silva Mind Control Methods, that I had bought in a thrift store 18 years ago. I went through first chapter which explained about brain wave activity. It explained different stages of brain activity, technics to lower brain wave activity and how it improves body recovery. It was fascinating. I just had to believe it. I had counted 1 to 100 and 100 to 1, but in vain. This time I had a basis to believe. I believed.
In a span of few days, I stumbled across this Mind Valley promotion video in which Vishen Lakianai was talking about ultramind. It was all quite familiar tricks and when he mentioned that he learnt it in a Silva mind control workshop, I was like wow.... what are the possibilities of coincidence?
This was the answer to my calling. I will be a fool if I still did not believe. I believed I can control my mind, by controlling mind I believed I can become more productive.
I just visualized my brain and waves emanating from it, and lowering the frequency of those waves and I fell asleep. Voila, I had hacked my Insomnia.
Several weeks have passed now, my lower back pain has significantly reduced. I am feeling quite healthy and positive. When things are going good, something happened. Coursera suggested me to join the course - "A Life of Happiness and Fulfilment".
Now what are the odds? Is it coincidence or some divine hands are at play? Whatever it is I am enjoying it.
