Yoga & Human Consciousness
Aklishta Vritti-
Sleep and Dream
Dr. Amaravathi Eraballi,
Yoga & Life Sciences
Aklishta Vritti
• The effortless
functions of mind are
nidra and smruti.
• In English these terms
are called as Sleep and
Dream
Sleep (Nidra)
• In modern terms it is the bed time with closed
eyes and no movements of eyes ball.
• Research proves the non-rapid eye movement
(non-REM) is considered as sleep.
• If this happens even in day times, it is
considered as the tiredness of physical or
mental levels.
Sleep training
• Ancient technique called Yoga nidra is the best suiting
technique.
• Here the person will be introduced to physical
relaxation.
• The rest of the changes are going to fall as nidra or
sleep.
• 3.30am to 5.30am is brahma Muhurtham for best
wakeup and training mind.
Disorders of sleep
• Insomnia: it is the lack of sleep at nights for
more than 1 month.
• It is associated with feeling of fatigue.
• Causes: any hidden emotion, unexplainable
situations or fears, lack of diet, more stress
Disorders of sleep
• Sleep apnea: Sudden stoppage of breath
during sleep and wakes up to resume breath
at nights for more than 1 month.
• It is associated with day time fatigue, loud
snoring.
• Causes: obesity, life events, lack of diet, more
stress, old age.
Disorders of sleep
• Somnambulism: it is the real walking, car
driving, cooking or even dancing, with open
eyes during sleep.
• Sudden Infant Death syndrome: sudden death
in infants below 1 year of age much in males
babies than girls.
Dream (Smruti)
• The memories often people explain as a movie
or story after wakeup or before resuming
sleep after sudden nightmare.
• Here the rapid eye movements with or
without body movements happens.
• This happens as active or passive processes.
Types of dreams
1. Natural:
Remembering is the memory or past
experiences as right knowledge (pratyaksha).
As information of previous experience it helps to
guide in present and plan future.
So it is required as per situation in daily life.
Types of dreams
2. Un-natural:
Remembering anything in night times or after
sunset. It is not required during sleep.
If it happens in night sleep, it means there is some
stress, not able to forget or forgive.
This leads to hallucinations, illusions and melatonin
disturbances.
Sleep Test and Lifestyle
• Pittsburgh Sleep Inventory Questionnaire
(PSIQ)
• Yoga as a lifestyle, must be followed on daily
basis. Here circadian rhythm is the “snadya
vandanam”. So sleep with sunset and wakeup
with sunrise as daily routine.
Testing the sleep
• Quality of sleep matters than duration of sleep.
• This was proven that, short sleep times at mid-
day as power nap helps for the corporate people
because of their mental tiredness.
• The same power nap is used for old people or
aged people or geriatrics to encourage the
metabolic equilibrium.
Sleep in past 1 month
1. Usual bed time
2. Bed time to sleep time
3. Wake-up time
4. Duration of sleep
5. Troubles like; dreams, urination, snoring,
climate, new place, pains, late night works, etc,.
Sleep in past 1 month
6. Quality of sleep; very good (or) fairly good
(or) bad
7. Usage of sleeping pills
8. Do you felt sleepy in driving, eating, working
9. Do you put efforts to be enthusiastic or it not
10. Are you happy with job (or) colleagues (or)
partner (or) neighbours?
Yoga Treatment
Yoga nidra is the technique that must be learned
under guidance and get habituated.
Hence the natural healing mechanisms happen
without much adrenaline (non-REM)
• Trataka also helps in reducing dreams and
improve quality of sleep.
Yoga techniques as Consciousness
• The information processed with open eyes will be reduced
to very minimum.
• “Focussed on less information and no chance for past
thoughts” is the ability that practitioner can experience.
• So yoga nidra and trataka are mindfulness practices as
mind-body- medicine.
• This is the new information or consciousness that
practitioner can earn.
THANK YOU
