Golden Rules for - How to Sleep better at night | Bicepsking Night Meditation Routine

            
  The way you sleep that matters a lot into your life style. For a healthy life you should always sleep better and take rest for your body. There is only main three things that helps you to get fit body that is diet, exercise and rest. So, for proper rest here is some golden rules with step-by-step manual to maximize the quality of your resting meditation that helps you to achieve your goals.



- life's number one goal is to give it your best shot in everything that you do. Your soul might want to conquer the world but what do you do if your body can't listen to it?  A good night's rest is the power of you body. 

- The ultimate sleep hygiene manual begin with golden phase two to three hours before you fall asleep. Two golden rules of this crucial phase. 
       - Rule one : finish your exercise.
       - Rule two : finish your diner before this golden phase begins.

- Exercise pulls your inhaled oxygen towards your lungs and your muscles. Food pulls your inhaled oxygen towards your digestive system. The outcome is longer and deeper breaths to satisfy your muscles and the systems involved. Quality sleep is all about brain oxygenation not body oxygenation and brain oxygenation happens when your breaths are shorter. 

- let's move on to rule number three - Body Temperature. You fall asleep when your body's temperature is a degree or two lower than normal. When your body is colder than it usually is. If you heat up your body near bedtime it's going to affect your sleep badly that's why you should avoid exercise and avoid hot Showers. The way to go with showers is keeping  them lukewarm just slightly hotter than room temperature. It will feel you clean as well as sleepy. 

- Rule number four - Lights. An hour before you want to sleep, put your phone away. I'm sure you've heard this a million times but trust me there's nothing that can ruin your sleep as much as forms or other bright screens. Your body feels sleepy or awake based on the amount of light  entering it through your eyes. So, quick tips. All your bright lights off, set your alarms and keep your phone away. 

- Very important rule number five - Golden phase activities. The way your brain is built, the final activity of your day has a profound impact on your thought process. This is the part of the day where you can directly affect your subconscious mind. The part of your piece in mind responsible for your career growth and your life growth. You can make this part of your day useful with - Reading. No phone screens, no Play-stations, no TV shows but books. Read something. It'll help you with your sleep and more importantly if you choose to read something positive or something that benefits your mind in some way even better. If you're not a big reader, that's alright it's 2020, listen to podcasts. You can gain as much from them as you can gain from books and occasionally if you aren't up for self-improvement, just listen to some music. But keep it soft, keep it slow. 

- Finally rule number six, You've tucked into your bed - This is the moment of truth. All these activities lead up to this moment, if you've done everything correct. It shouldn't be that difficult to fall asleep, but if you have someone who struggles with their sleep, perform the special sleep meditation. Put your hands on your solar plexus. Place one hand just below the line of your chest and the other hand just below the first hand. Now focus on your breath, try adding a chant to this process. Any two syllable word that you say in your mind, don't move your tongue, don't worry about the pronunciation, just say the word in your mind the word sleep, the word happy. Just keep repeating it within your mind. Don't focus too much on it. Slowly let it fade into the background of your brain. Try not to think about your tasks for the next day, not to think about your good or bad moments from the previous day. Just think of the comfort that surrounds you the softness of your bed. How relaxed your body is the peace in your room the peace and the darkness. If you feel like it switch up to a comfortable position and then dive deeper into how relaxed your body feels sleep will meet you. If you just stay in  the present moment and no where else. Don't worry about how long you're chanting for, don't focus on anything let the chant manipulate your breath and allow it to lead you into this resting meditation. Good night.

The Power Of Positive Thinking - Technique for Advance Meditation - Bicepsking

> Today I am going to share about the positive thinking in our daily life. How the positive thinking helps to reach our goals with the help of meditation. Positive thinking is that taking action, acting on positive thoughts. There are many past studies that shows how meditation effects on human body. From increasing the gray matter in our brain, to increasing parts of our brain linked with happiness and focus. The only main magical health revolutions is meditation that is going to take over the world.   



> I am going to talk about a meditative technique in order to achieve any dream you have in your life. So there is multiple ways and multiple techniques to improve your meditation but what most people fail to understand is that meditation is one those things where to perform it you don't really have to have a technique. There is no fixed way of doing it and that's why it is so beautiful. All you need to remember is that you just need to start meditating. Sit down in a darken space for 15 to 20 minutes a day and just close your eyes that is the bare minimum you can do for meditation. 

> But there is a question in our mind that how do we optimize your meditation? Most people think that meditation is about having no thoughts in your head and keeping our mind empty. Now that is the end goal of meditation but it is not easy to achieve it. We all have a monkey brain. There is no way you will be able to keep your mind empty. There will be thoughts about your day or worries. Remember meditation before anything is about being self-aware, being aware of what's going on in your brain. Believe the bad things and give fuel to the good things, that's the goal you should go in with and as for what you should physically do. Once again there are multiple techniques but what I am going for is a basic chanting technique. 

Let's go for a basic Meditation Session:

> You begin by ideally sitting in a silent or dark room. A dark room helps you focus better for your meditation. Sit comfortably and ideally. You should sitting on the ground but if that's uncomfortable for you then you can seat on comfortable chair whatever works for you. How working out in a gym is an exercise for your muscles this is mind exercise and you will only be able to work your mind if your body is comfortable. As for your hands there is a lot of different mudras which you can do. Each of which have a different spiritual significance but the safest posture for your hands is the acceptance posture. It is basically you keeping your hands on your laps facing upwards and the positivity from the universe.   

> Meditation is about self-awareness, self-discovery but most importantly it's about communicating with your omnipresent surroundings, your universe. Everything that is around you, your surroundings immediate not so immediate everything is a part of the universe. This concept is when meditation might start feeling a little bit leaky or unconventional the most and this is also where most people fail to entirely benefit from meditation. They put a limit on the power of meditation but remember this thing, "The mind that perceives the limitation is the limitation". If you really want that meditation to work and affect your life you need to be very open minded to it. You are suppose to always believe that this activity is going to change your life. This thinking will help you a lots.

> So coming to what you should actually be thinking of while meditating. It is a three-step process. 

- The first is the base of comfort, I am not talking about only just physical comfort but mental comfort is also connect with yourself driving aware of your breath. If chanting try focusing on the chant. 

- The second step is the most important in every meditation session you need to feel internal gratitude. You need to feel grateful to the universe. If you are someone who believes in god then that is your definition of the universe. Feel grateful towards that god, towards your surroundings, feel grateful for being given all this positivity in your life. Just focus on what's good and what's working out for you.

- Finally coming to the part of your meditation. But you actually make things happen in your real life. How to achieve whatever you want, whatever your wish is, whatever your prayer are, ask for it and don't only ask for this is where you need to visualize. visualization is the power of positive thinking. If you wish to have a nice bungalow then visualize all the things of a home. Feel the visualization of touching the doors, beds, kitchen and whatever you wish to have in your home. Visualize your dream in detail, internally tell yourself that this is going to come true. That is how meditate and that's how you amplify the power of positive thinking. But positive thought won't work unless you work. 
       
> Meditation will give you focus on dreams, will give you concentration for your work. It will give you the ability to work harder but most important it will make your goal clearer in front of you. The moment you open your eyes and your over this is where the rest of life starts and it's the actions you take in the rest of your life that determines whether or not you'll get to your goal. So the first step in this adventure towards your goals is that you start with meditation. Get into a habit of consistently meditating in twenty minutes a day and through the rest of the day go and choose actions that help you move towards your goal. Go and achieve your dreams

Why We should Meditate - How to Meditate at Home for BEGINNERS - Bicepsking

> Today I am talking about How to meditate. From health and Fitness perspective today's topic is that one topic that can absolutely turn your life around. Honestly I feel is that meditation has a very crucial part to play in that journey of you reaching your maximum potential. A lot of  successful people all over the world like Steve Job, Hugh Jackman and even Shane Watson have talented meditation in order to enhance the rest of their life. Shane Watson, one of cricket's greatest all-rounders in the modern era has actually said that towards the end of his career meditation is what has been cope with injures. Injury recovery, Musculus recovery are just a few benefits of meditation.





> If you're the kind of person who believes only in scientifically backed studies and articles that exactly what, here is the link for that: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/01/eight-weeks-to-a-better-brain/ You can read it from here. I'm going to go over the benefits super briefly:

> A recent study done is UCLA show that people who have meditate have a higher level of Gyrification in your brain. Gyrification means the souls in the cortex of your brain and these enhance amount of souls actually linked with  a faster processing power. You're essentially becoming smarter and your brains becoming faster and more active through meditation what's the even cooler is that long-term meditation was linked with more Gyrification. The more you meditate the more of Gyrification and more your processing power.

> So essentially we can describe meditation as some kind of brain workout. Where you are enhancing the power of your brain by just meditating for 10 to 20 minutes a day. Also studies says that meditation changes certain parts of your brain. It increases the size of those parts that are linked with happiness, focus, Memory Formation, Learning Ability, Ability to Empathize. Also the cool thing is that meditation decrease those areas that are linked with depression and stress. 

> Come to my person experience of meditation. Personally I just become meditation initially to help me cope with my muscle soreness from the gym. I read this article about how meditation helps you deal with your muscle soreness, how it increases your recovery and that's how I got into it but as felt all these other effects because of my long term meditation. All I do is that I meditate for 20 minutes a day every day before I go to bed that is all. The actual benefits of meditation, this increase level of happiness will only happen after you meditate every single day.

> Now coming to actual tutorial. How do you go about meditation?

The first thing you need to understand is that everyone's got their own definitions of what meditation is. It's a very subjective concept. In this article I'm just going to give you my opinion on how to go about the process. I promise you is that if you follow the guidelines I'm setting down it will make a difference to your life.   

While doing meditation you are just suppose to concentrate on your own breath. You going to have a lot of other thoughts in your head. What you need to understand is that this is completely normal. It's human nature. Here is the all process with step by step for meditation:

1) BREATH CONCENTRATE:

You should sit down in a quiet place. Ideally in complete darkness and you fold your legs. Sit cross-legged and you just keep your arms comfortable however you want. You can even sit down in a chair if you find that comfortable and then you can begin your meditation process. Mindfulness meditation is essentially you taking deep breaths, You inhale completely and exhale and all you go to concentrate on is your breath and you do this for about 20 minutes. Now the trick is to avoid thinking about twenty other things. So you have consciously strive focusing on your breath and do this for 20 minutes every single day. If you seems like 20 minutes is very hard then you can start with 10 minutes a day but the key is to just get yourself between this and I promise that when you open your eyes after doing meditation, you'll be a lot calmer and the world will feel different. Just go for Mindfulness meditation.

2) OM CHANTING MEDITATION:



As a beginner I practice is something called OM CHANTING MEDITATION. Now this has nothing  to do with Hinduism or god or religion. What you got understand is that OHM is kind of a tangible distraction for your mind. When you are chanting OHM it's that same distraction that helps you disconnect from your real life that's all it is. In order to go about OM CHANTING MEDITATION once again you just go to sit in a comfortable place ideally in complete darkness and take a deep breath and just let out OHM. So 75% of your breath you are going to chant the OH and 25% you can chant the M. That is all you have to remember. Don't worry and don't think much about this process you are just going to go for it for 20 minutes a day. That is matters a lot and makes a difference.

> Meditation is just another way of releasing all those feel-good hormones. After you make it a habit it becomes a source of recreation and that's you want to reach but rule number one is that you just create a habit. Push yourself to meditate and make you meditate for at least 10 to 20 minutes every single day.That's all you need to do for a good mental strength.
