3 Tips To Sleep Better.

Beds4U New Plymouth

Sleep helps our bodies function properly, it balances our moods, and even helps in the healing of illnesses and injuries. While some individuals have no trouble going asleep at night, others find it difficult. Those who suffer from chronic insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep sometimes may benefit from the following exercise.

Yoga Nidra
Most people already know that yoga and meditation promote serenity and awareness, but many are unaware that they can also encourage a healthy sleep pattern. Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a type of guided meditation that is done while laying still in savasana or similar comfortable reclined position.

Revamp Your Bed
Research proves sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too firm can lead to muscular discomfort, causing wakefulness during the night. Using an old pillow or one that is the wrong firmness or shape for your preferred sleep position can have a similar effect. If you find that you cannot get comfortable in your bed or wake up often throughout the night, replacing your pillow or mattress could help.

Clean Your Bedroom
Because there is a link between a crowded bedroom and a cluttered mind, it stands to reason that sleeping in a tidy bedroom can enhance sleep and minimize racing thoughts. Organizing and tidying your room can help you relax at the end of the day to snuggle into a beautifully made bed.

Bowen Therapy, the gentle fascia release technique

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Pain destroys your Joy.
Almost every person wanting Bowen Therapy is in pain. And they share how they cannot do the simplest things because of the pain:
😔They cannot stand long enough to cook a nice dinner for the family.
😔They cannot bend over so they cannot get their shoes on.
😔They cannot get up from the floor, so they don’t play with the grandkids.
😔They have stopped their hobby’s and sports.
😔They cannot walk in the bush or on the beach.
😔They cannot drive in the car for long.
😔They have to rest several hours a day, to relieve the pain.
😔They feel old, 😔they feel useless, 😔they feel like a burden to the family, 😔they feel despondent.

Bowen Therapy tends to be very helpful in relieving the pain. And relief of the pain, allows the energy to be put to something far more enjoyable:
🔥Something you choose,
💚something you love,
🫶something you share.
