There have been just a few studies suggesting that low frequency pulsed magnetic therapy or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has reduced insomnia and other sleeping disorders. However, in '06-'07 two on-point studies proved that these signals would in fact increase Delta wave sleep.

Steps to perform Synchronized Breathing

* Sit in a comfortable position with your back upright.
* Inhale rapidly through your nose as you tilt your head back while simultaneously inflating your abdomen.
* Immediately exhale quickly through your mouth as you bow your head down while compressing your abdomen.
* Repeat 10 to 15 times.
* Then relax with your head vertical and concentrate on the top of your head, the mid-brow area and the centre of your chest simultaneously while breathing slowly for 30 seconds.
* Repeat the entire process three times.

The spiritual ‘power centre’ at the top of your head regulates the pineal gland and melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep cycles.

When to practice this method

* You can practice this daily before going to bed
* Before returning home from work so you don’t bring stress to your family
* Before important meetings
* Whenever you feel stressed


hope you benefit from this
