    Introduction

    This book is going to introduce you to a very interesting subject, especially for all of us who are chronic insomniacs. This is the power of restorative sleep, and you are going to get to know more about ways and means with which you can get your daily 10 hours of sleep every day, and uninterrupted. Along with this, you are going to learn more about yoga Nidra [sleep yoga] which is a technique of visualization as well as profound relaxation, quite similar to a light sleep. So you do not know whether you are sleeping lightly, or just relaxing in deep meditation.

    This women is practicing the ancient yogic pose of the “corpse.” The palms are touching the ground. It should not be done more than 30 - 45 minutes.
    Even today, meditation and yogic exercises are not done on a stone floor or a cement floor. They are always done with parts of your body touching mother earth. That is how it is supposed that the natural harmonious wavelengths of the earth and its vibrations can permeate through your being. But we use yoga mats or rugs or carpets on a stone floor.

    To each his own, especially when we do not want to allow the dew of the grass to give us a chill when we lie down in different relaxation positions on the grass. In olden times, of course, this relaxing was done with your skin bare, and flinging yourself on mother Earth and allowing her to heal you. We being civilized now are more inhibited and would not even think of such a thing, would we?

    I am not a Hindu. That is why anybody who thinks why my books are about yoga and they are religion concentric has been given some misguided information. The art of yoga existed in the Indian sub-continent 5000 years before the “Hindus” began following the religion of Hinduism. Yoga was practiced by the ancients, who followed a path of right living, which they called “Dharma”, or Faith. These ancients were the indigents, living in the Indian subcontinent who history now calls the Aryans and their books of right living were written in Sanskrit. These books are now revered all over the world, by the Hindus and by other intellectuals, as great founts of knowledge passed down by the wise ones before us.

      So anybody who believes that yoga is predominantly a Hindu tradition needs to be told that this wisdom was global and is still for all mankind. It does not belong to any one particular religion, faith, belief or denomination, caste, creed, or region. East, North, South and West, you are going to find some sort of this ancient technique being practiced under other names, especially in China, Thailand, Malaysia – truly Asia-and they have their own traditional name for this particular meditation and relaxation process.

      Nevertheless, I am talking about what I learned from a friend, who is what is called a Yogi [Wise One]. When I asked him whether he was a Hindu, he gave me a look of what fools these mortals be, and told me that yogis belong to mankind, they do not belong to any religion. Incidentally, he was born Buddhist, in Japan. And he said that being a Yogi did not mean that one practiced yoga, but that one was wise in the knowledge of the wisdom of the ages and practiced it in his life.
