Alternative Sleep Cycles: You Don't Really Need 6-8 Hours! Most people only think that there is one way to sleep: Go to sleep at night for 6-8 hours, wake up in the morning, stay awake for 16-18 hours and then repeat. Actually, that is called a monophasic sleep cycle, which is only 1 of 5 major sleep cycles that have been used successfully throughout history. The other 4 are considered polyphasic sleep cycles due to the multiple number of naps they require each day. Well the most important of every sleep cycle is the Stage 4 REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which has been shown to provide the benefits of sleep to the brain above all other stages of sleep. This way, you still get the benefits of 8 hours of sleep without wasting all of the time it takes to get to REM cycles, resulting in a much more efficient sleep cycle. Uberman Cycle: 20 to 30 minute naps every 4 hours, resulting in 6 naps each day. Everyman Cycle: One longer “core” nap that is supplemented with several 20-30 minute naps. Dymaxion Cycle: Biphasic/Siesta Cycle: – Hang in there.
Sleep Patterns - Polyphasic, Biphasic & Monophasic A good sleep pattern is the cornerstone to getting great sleep. A messed up sleep pattern is one of the main causes of insomnia. The key to getting it right is to choose a sleep pattern and stick to it like glue. Don’t think you’re limited to just one sleep and wake time. With an understanding of the stages of sleep and the sleep cycle, you can sleep multiple times during the day and effectively feel great on as little as 3 hours of sleep per day. In this article we’ll take a look at the theory behind sleep patterns to see exactly how they work and what creates a great sleep pattern. How Sleep Patterns Work Your sleep pattern is like a timepiece which your body uses to understand when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake. How long you have been awakeThe regular timing of your sleep The timing of your sleep is controlled by something called the circadian body clock located in the depths of your brain. You quickly develop a sleep wake cycle from birth. Types of Sleep Patterns
A Spiritual Solution to Chemtrails and Life's Other Problems A Spiritual Solution to Chemtrails and Life’s Other Problems By Ross Pittman “There is a power inside every human against which no earthy force is of the slightest consequence” – Neville Goddard. Science and religion agree on this: consciousness creates reality. You can use the power of your mind and your heart to change your reality. Many people are frightened and feel powerless to do anything about the toxins that are being sprayed in our skies day after day. Religion “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.” – Buddha “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Solomon, Proverbs 23:7 “Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, it will be done for you. Science (Quantum Physics) “I regard consciousness as fundamental. Thus the universe explains observers, and observers explain the universe. Psychology Mother Teresa understood this principle. OK.

Polyphasic Sleep Long-Term Consequences One long-term consequence of the polyphasic sleep experiments I did in 2005-2006 is that I still retain the ability to fall asleep very quickly. Enough time has passed that I suspect this is a permanent change. These days when I decide to go to sleep, I can typically fall asleep within 30 seconds or less. Sometimes I can be asleep within just 2-3 seconds. As Rachelle can attest, this is no exaggeration. This isn’t narcolepsy. This is true for falling asleep at night as well as for taking naps if I so desire. On many occasions I’ve been startled awake while Rachelle and I were lying in bed together. This sometimes happens 2-3 times in a row. When this happens a few times in a row, sometimes I’ll re-enter the same dream and continue where I left off, but usually I’ll enter a different dream that doesn’t seem related to the first dream. This has happened more times that I can count. Normally I start dreaming immediately as I’m falling asleep, sometimes even before I’m asleep.
The Universal Laws Drs. Milanovich and McCune in, The Light Shall Set You Free (1998), state there are 12 Universal Laws, and 21 sub-laws, that describe ways in which cause and effect are related. The Universal Laws can also be viewed as guidelines for behaviors that will enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth. The Universal Laws are all inter-related and are founded on the understanding that everything in the universe is energy, including us, and that energy moves in a circular fashion. Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. The exciting news is, because our thoughts, feelings, words and actions create the world around us, we have the power to create a world of peace, harmony and abundance. 1. The Law of Divine Oneness helps us to understand that we live in a world where everything is connected to everything else. 2. This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe moves, vibrates, and travels in circular patterns. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Hakula: Learn the Natural State of 'Fearlessness' The Natural Fear-Free State of Calm… Hakula, is the natural state of optimal human performance. It is the opposite of the tunnel-vision-fear state many have experienced, because it creates a feeling of calm, and enables the greatest perspective and flexibility of behavior and response. It is so powerful it is one of the key tools we teach our one-on-one clients in our VIP program. How to Practice HakulaPick a spot on the wall, somewhere higher than eye level, around the center of your field of vision. (This state of focus-with-peripheral-awareness was named ‘Hakula’ by the ancient people of Hawaii). When to use Hakula Hakula is perfect for the kinds of situations in which you used to experience fear because it shifts the mind into a state where it is ‘contextually all-aware’. Typically with our clients, we find that if clients think about a problem, then shift into Hakula, the problem immediately seems trivial.

Fast Lane To Heaven In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live. I had been an information freak in the 1970s and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. That is what killed me. I remember waking up one morning at home about 4:30 AM, and I just knew that this was it. The next thing I remember is the beginning of a typical near-death experience. There was this Light shining. So my request was honored and I had some conversations with the Light. The Light responded. We all have a Higher Self, or an oversoul part of our being. Then the Light turned into the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen: a mandala of human souls on this planet. The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together is absolutely fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. In that instant I realized even more.
27 Science Fictions That Became Science Facts In 2012 We may never have our flying cars, but the future is here. From creating fully functioning artificial leaves to hacking the human brain, science made a lot of breakthroughs this year. 1. Quadriplegic Uses Her Mind to Control Her Robotic Arm At the University of Pittsburgh, the neurobiology department worked with 52-year-old Jan Scheuermann over the course of 13 weeks to create a robotic arm controlled only by the power of Scheuermann’s mind. 2. Once the robot figures out how to do that without all the wires, humanity is doomed. 3. Photo Courtesy of Indigo Moon Yarns. At the University of Wyoming, scientists modified a group of silkworms to produce silk that is, weight for weight, stronger than steel. 4. Using an electron microscope, Enzo di Fabrizio and his team at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa snapped the first photos of the famous double helix.Source: newscientist.com / via: davi296 5. 6.
