And that's because we're gonna investigate how to get a good night's sleep. Something that people are seriously lacking. I think so. We're gonna talk to a sound practitioner on a meditation specialist. The first person we're gonna meet is Louise Shields. And she does gong balls. Something I've always wanted to do and some really just falling wall. Hello? I'm tired, right? Help me. It's looking stunning. Okay, Highly. Okay, so we're in this very cozy, fragrant, quite dark, womb like room. Can you tell me what you do? Well, I work with sound Thio. Help people slow down and relax on dhe to release stress. So, in what way can humans be responsive to sound in terms of helping the relax, the frequencies from instruments such as gongs or crystal bowls slow down the brain waves. They put you in Alfa and theater brainwave mode. Which of the brain waves that are present when you're just drifting off to sleep or in a deep daydream? I find it hard to stay in touch with reality, right? In the sense that like the bit you're describing the dream elder after they say, Yeah, I think my brain's kind of constantly in a weird imagining, weird things. Do you feel like you're in a bit of a daydream? A lot of the time? Yeah. Yeah, that's great, though, Is it? Yes. Bring it. You know, when we're at school, they beat out of us. But it's amazing when you is childlike. Yes, very childlike. It's not relaxed. It's more just like that. My most regular sound healing Methodist karaki. Okay, well, the voice is a very powerful sound. Taylor. Do you think that with the modern life experience being quite fast and quite, you know, insular in a way that runs on their phones? Do you think there's more of a need for this kind of method like sound? Healy? Yeah, definitely. It's like meditation and relaxation for the lazy person you know. You go to meditation class, you still have to meditate, but in the sound bath it's relatively passive. You get to lie down and do nothing on dhe, just receive, and it doesn't really happen very often, Lou, I'm ready to receive wholesome. Surely lie down. Yes, please. Voices full that's to go over your eyes. So this is the goal on DDE. I normally play this at the beginning to just kind of stir. Stir the energy open system. They have that the Met God. Let's get everyone to go to dinner. Any sensations just feel very drift e. But as I say, I'm like, almost always nearly falling sleep Anyway. I like it so life. Oh, good. My stomach's like wool thing. That's when you're relaxed. Yeah, hungry. I really like mediocre suit for lunch. It sounds like the beginning of time and the end on dhe like that in a movie about space or dinosaurs or something. God, that's nice. Do I look like that picture of the Beatles when they're older? Uh, yet what? Any more orange flowers? I think I found my calling in life. Things gonna be the A C sound experience and I'm gonna take it on the road. Did you know that? You know you're in love. What is that Best Sally. Nice cells from cells in Peru. Goals. That's your bad name. What's your name? Well, okay, so from a womb with a view to a corridor with spotlight, I'm still trying to learn how to get a good night's sleep, said. This time I'm here to talk to Kim Murray, who was an emotional freedom technique practitioner on also a meditation teacher, and she's kind of always promised to teach me to meditate. And today is the day this is when I learned how to breathe properly. I always tickles me to think that, like really evil people have to sleep. It's like the idea that some, like horrible dictator, then just goes to nap at night. You see any amusing to me, But why is it necessary to humans? Okay, it's absolutely necessary for a good functioning mental health. So during the day, your brain builds up these metabolic toxins on its during sleep that your brain kind of a sewage system kind of switches on. That helps to really fill to those toxins. Another reason why sleep is really, really important for your mental well being is because when we have a lack of sleep, uh, ugly and then we look disgusting, everything else is hard. Yeah, that's number one on my support. Number two is when we have a lack of sleep. It's really then hard to self regulate our emotions. Okay, So you're gonna run me through some techniques to help me in those moments when I wake up and then can't get back to sleep? Yes. Okay. Flashing has to do this place 100 new belly on one hand here, just on your heart center on your chest. And then I wanted to keep your feet flat and grounded to the floor. So if you're sat down, it was really important to keep your feet flat on the floor just helps to ground your energy on. Then just gently close down your eyes and then no one has taken deep long in hell in through your nose. Open the mouth. Relax the jaw and breathe out for a CZ. Long as you can still do this together one more time breathing in through your nose. Carry it is going going just like just like we did in through your nose. Open the mouth and let it go. And I want you to imagine your favorite color. Oh, God, That's stressful. Seekers in designers. A whole Pantone book. Okay, Try not to overthink it. Imagine your favorite color is glowing bright like two balls of light underneath both of your hands. Knees. Balls of light are completely soothing, completely calming and completely protecting these two very vital parts off your body and then gently open your eyes. Well done. Very good Meditating in the middle of the night. Our brain tends to start worrying about lots of other things, so we're like ruminating over the past light. With you, we can change it. Yeah, it's exhausting, overthinking the future. I like to over think I might have offended in the course of the day yet brilliant, because yet that's gonna so help with sleep, right? So rather than trying thio for Get back to sleep, my best advice would be just to try to meditate. Just imagine the color your favorite color is slowly filling up your body. So just focus all your awareness firstly, on the tide of emotions totally totally on, then slowly moved down your body. So tuning into your eyes, then bringing awareness to your nose and your jaw really important to open your jaw ever so slightly. Relax the jaw. Often when we're tense, especially in the middle of night, will tense. Sarge, you're so open and relax the jaw moving your awareness down into your throat into your chest and imagine that calming color is really filling up your tummy tuning into how your back feels moving down now your arms and your fingers on Don't worry. If your mind begins to wonder, just bring it back to your breath so always begin by deepening the breath on. Then bring it back to your body. I'm really, really visualize. And imagine that color slowly filling up your body. So moving down a to your thighs over your knees down your carbs, and then finally your feet and then just move back up again. Oh, that's great. That's the second technique, huh? Emotional freedom technique is a great way to kind of really re balance. You're nervous systems. You begin with your karate chop. Okay, Andi, locate the soft part of your non dominant hand. So I'm right handed. Tough on my left on. Then we moved on the body, so I'll show you the point. So you begin inner eyebrow with this. You contact with either hand. Sorry. Yeah. Either one outer under the eye under the knife under the mouth. The next point is just here on John picked quite easy for women issue. We have a bra. Next point. I just repeat after me. I control I. I control my power. My power I control. I can draw my happiness, my happiness. Place your palms facing up. Shut down your eyes. Take a deep, long cleansing breath in through the nose, Open the mouth and let it go. Amazing. It's a really lovely way to identify and recognize a worry or negative belief that might be keeping you up at night just like imagining shit. Well, your negative believes that. That's exactly exactly that. You know, we all have them. I like to call him that. Your city committee. They're like this group of people in your mind that tell you that you're not good enough for you might fail that you're not beautiful. And we all have them that really, really normal.
