Reseña del libro "The Path to Sleep, Exercises for an Ancient Skill: Hypnotic Training in the Neurology, Psychology & Physiology of Sleep (en Inglés)"
If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up rested, this book will teach you what sleep is all about. We do not intuitively know how to sleep and our doctors can't tell us.Like three blind mice describing an elephant, sleep professionals will describe and diagnose sleep issues as dysfunctions. Sleep problems are a literal wake-up call, an opportunity to repair one's life. You'll never a get the story straight unless you understand what your sleep issues are telling you.Sleep is not just chemical, neurological, mechanical, or psychological, it is all of these combined. Sleep is a whole-body, psycho-somatic experience. Everything that's blocking sleep, or causing distress around sleep, is an opportunity to deeply encounter and repair the body's function. Sleep is a process of whole-body-mind repair and invigoration.The Path To Sleep consists of written and spoken words. It contains twenty-four guided visualizations--MP3 audio files on the internet—that carry you in thought, image, rhythm, and frequency into other states of mind. These are not simply different ideas or perspectives, they are different realities. We are different people in these different states. Many people--especially those who have trouble sleeping--do not, are rarely, or cannot even imagine being someone other than who they are. This inflexibility is why you're stuck; you'll find the training in this book essential.The Path To Sleep, and the workshops built around it, focus on five aspects of sleep, most of which are overlooked, misunderstood, or simply ignored. They are:• control of the rhythms of mind and body,• discovery and resolution of the issues that underlie stress,• day-time coping habits that undermine sleep,• ability to understand, participate, and aid the subconscious,• building a working relationship with dreams."This book is not just a book, it's a hands-on guide to the root cause of all those sleepless nights. It offers a complete paradigm shift to transform the very context of insomnia from something to survive to something to celebrate for its unique ability to act as a catalyst for growth."-- Mollie McGlocklin, author and host of www.sleepasaskill.com"The Path To Sleep is the first systematic application of hypnosis to sleep dysfunction despite ample evidence of hypnosis's remarkable positive effect. The book's hypnotic audio files address problems of rumination, emotional and physical stress, brain rhythms, sleep hygiene, and dreams. This is much needed nonpharmaceutical guidance for those with all forms of insomnia."-- Dr. Robert S. Rosenberg, author of The Doctor's Guide to Sleep Solutions for Stress & Anxiety"If you're that person who just can't sleep, no matter what--even drugs aren't doing such a great job--read this book! Yeah, sure, there are many sleep experts and science-based facts on the internet, and herbs and potions and chanting. How's all that working for you so far? Lincoln nails it by staying steadfast with the bottom line. Sleep is not the problem. You are.-- Sandy Ames, CHt, author of Sleep Now!: Self Hypnosis Meditation"I've been using some of what you said and I drop right off to sleep and get 7 1/2 hrs to 8 + and really good to excellent sleep scores from my Fitbit. Before I was getting about 41/2 - 5 hrs sleep a night and only fair Fitbit scores. Thank you. It has really helped."-- Ann, workshop participant"I can say without doubt: my sleep has improved a lot. I can fall asleep faster with much fewer days lying in bed trying to fall asleep… Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to live a better, healthier life."-- Deborah, workshop participant
