GOODBYE SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Sleep is essential to our good health as it helps us to restore and rejuvenate many body functions as well as it refreshes and relaxes the mind. It has been stated that 8-hour sleep per a night is still the standard of the healthy overall lifestyle; however, it depends on an individual. Some people require getting only a minimum of sleep to feel alert while others need a great deal of sleep to feel healthy and totally fit.

We spend almost one third of our life sleeping although we do not usually think much about the sleep. It is just a part of life we take for granted. Until when we cannot sleep, it can become a real problem. Because of our daily routine and exceeding activities, you are simply not getting enough sleep; otherwise, you are facing the problems like lack of sleep, insomnia, or even some serious causes i.e. emotional problems, anxiety, depression, difficulties at work, and so on. Therefore, you have to modify our lifestyle to sleep better:-

  • Treat your bed as a place for sleeping and sexual activities only. Neither computer nor other working equipment is allowed. When you go to bed your body knows it is time to sleep.
  • Create a better sleep environment for yourself while you are sleep: keep the temperature cool, set the bed in silent area, eliminate or block noises, keep the room dark, use comfortable bed linen, blankets, and puffier better pillows. Be sure you have a good mattress.
  • If the bedroom is decorated in white with light linen curtain, the location should be wherever the light cannot reach as the light gives a cue to your brain that it is time to wake up.
  • Go to bed and get up at the same time everyday even on the weekend
  • Regular exercise in the morning or early afternoon is recommended to help you sleep well. Do not do it close to before bedtime as you may feel too energized to sleep.
  • Try to avoid taking a nap during the day as it makes your natural body clock more difficult to sleep at night.
  • Take a warm bath will raise a drop in your body temperature which makes you sleepy.
  • Listen to soft and relaxing music or read some light headed books before going to bed.
  • Drink a glass of warm milk added honey before going to bed. Dairy product contains the natural substances to restore the feeling of calmness; it can enhance the restful sleep. The addition of honey also provides a more soothing and tasty twist.
  • A heavy meal close to the bedtime may make you less comfortable when you settle down fore the rest of your night. It may give you indigestion, and make your sleep difficult. At the same time, if you let your stomach too empty, it can be just as disruptive as well.
  • Drink too much of any beverage can lead to more awakenings because of the need of urination during the night.
  • Avoid nicotine, and caffeine. Alcohol may seem to help you in the beginning as it slows brain activity but you will end up having fragmented sleep.
  • Spend time for a while after lying down to get rid of everything before falling asleep. This trick will help you sleeping without dreaming. If you cannot fall asleep, don’t keep on lying. Get up and find something boring or relaxing to do, and avoid stimulating activities like going online until you feel drowsy.
  • In case you really cannot sleep, wake your darling up and do something you should do together! Your body will be stimulated by endorphin; you will be sleeping soundly all night long!

Even though Feng Shui is mysterious, it deeply concerns with the scientific principle in reality like air-flow system, lighting direction. According to the Feng Shui principle, we can make our bedroom more comfortable; it will help us to sleep as well.

Firstly we should not sleep with our feet pointing to the door. It has been believed that if the door is often opened, our inner energy will be disturbed; we will get sick. It scientifically can be said that when the door is opened and closed several times, the temperature will change that it harms our physical health. We may find either a desk or anything to block between door and our bed. Sometimes you will be subjected to noise and drafts.

Also the bathroom door must not be in the line of the bed. The smell and the damp from the restroom will interrupt your sleep. You should move your bed away from the door. If it is not possible, the door must be shut at all time or put the curtain in front of the door to lightly protect the dampness.

The head of the bed should not be exposed. Place it against a wall as long as it is not under a window which is the same as a door; otherwise, you will lose dignity. Actually you cannot get enough sleep because of the change of the light of if the window breaks. If you bed has to be placed near a window, make sure there is heavy curtain to prevent the danger.

If you set a mirror direct to your bed, you will be paranoid. The real thing is you will wake up at night and see your own shadow, and then you may be scared. You should remove the mirror or shut it down when not used.

Don’t have a television or computer in the bedroom. They are not only distracting; they interrupt the body’s natural production of melatonin which helps you sleep well.

Good night and sweet dream…

Will you ever find your soul mate?

by: ARTYMAC

Do you believe in love at first sight? I have no clear answer; however, from my own experiences, I must say it is an unanswerable question until you face the situation by yourself. All the clichés or romantic novels about love at first sight arise from the real experience of recognizing someone we loved from a past live. The abrupt and intense sense of intimacy in such connection is somehow powerful, and throughout the years it has become obvious that everyone yearns to have a real magical soul mate experience. The frequent questions I have heard from people basically begin with How can I find my soul mate? When will I ever find my true love? Or is he my soul mate?

Most people simply believe that the subject of “soul mate” has something related to “reincarnation”. Nevertheless, for me soul mate is another term of true love and it is something else, something more, something bigger and deeper. In my perception, soul mate is someone you are close at the highest level, and whom you had shared many experiences in different lifetimes in various types of relationship. Furthermore, there is deep love for each other eternally, and spiritual bonds that set you apart from other people in your life.

In seeking ultimate and unconditional love through the passing years, we are never fulfilled. When we have an untrustworthy relationship and fall short of our dream, we assume that we just have not met the “right person” yet, and when we do we will finally be satisfied. This is kind of common circular concept regarding relationship of young people these days.

Sometimes real love and soul mate have nothing to do with love at first sight. Some people do not probably have trails of magnetic romantic attraction to each other at the first time. They do not recognize or realize immediately that the person they meet is their soul mate. This requires another step in getting to know each other more and at a time you will be able to find an answer to your heart if you have found a soul mate or not.

I do believe that everyone has a soul mate, but it might not be seen in the form of lover as you expect. Perhaps, you find your soul mate in this life as your own sister, brother, your mother or even your friend. For me, soul mate is not only someone who can become your lover and whom you are going to marry with, but he or she is also someone who you have intimate connection with, the one who has sincerity for you and always want to be by your side whether you are happy or down as a true eternal companion.

The spiritual bonds of soul mate can create such undeniable magnetic force. Meeting someone and having a very positive and powerful attraction to them right away is probably a sigh that this is someone who you had loved and had special bonds before. Obviously, it’s different from crushing on someone like most teenagers experience; for that is mainly the impression on outstanding appearances. In contrast, meeting a soul mate is much more meaningful than that. You will forget about clothes or appearances. After talking with him/her you will be touched by the words, thoughts or attitudes. This simply means you will get impression from inner side of your soul mate rather than what he/she looks like.

For those who are seeking a soul mate, I am certain that you will find a loving “soul mate” relationship some time. However, please remember that just because a special bond was formed in the past life does not make it more powerful and significant than the loving bonds that we form in this present life.

And for those who want to love and be loved deeply and passionately, please don’t give up hope just yet. Keep “looking for” your soul mate. The spiritual bonds must begin somewhere and with someone. It is said love is in the air, so why not start finding it now.

Tradition of making merit

by: ARTYMAC

Making merit has been one of Thai traditions for centuries. Making merit (or Tam Boon in Thai) means doing good things as mentioned in Buddhist doctrine. According to Thai’s way of life, they are very familiar with making merit since their birth until death. This is because they strongly believe that if we do good things, we will receive good things in return. In contrast, if we do evil things, we will receive evil back. In addition, Thais do not only greatly believe that making merit would bring them happiness and peaceful life, but also gaining merit would strengthen them to overcome any obstacles or bad luck they are now suffering.

The common rule before making merit is to purified one’s mind and make sure your mind and thoughts are ready. This rule is very important as in Buddhist’s belief; gaining merit must not bring trouble or worry to yourself or others.

There are 3 ways of making and gaining merit:-

1) Giving alms or making merit by putting food in the bowl of monks

Every morning around 6 – 7 am in the morning, monks usually silently walk along the street to receive food or offerings. However, for some people who live near the river or canal, monks discreetly row a boat and stop at people’s houses to receive the offerings.

Food offered to monks is well prepared since early morning. Some might cook by themselves, but some might easily buy the food from local market. The offerings include newly cooked steamed rice, savory, desserts or fruits. Some people may also prepare flowers, candles and joss sticks. When the monk arrives, he will be asked to stop. Thai people will politely say “Nimon”. Then, they will gradually put steamed rice into the monk’s bowl and followed by savory and desserts. The flower, joss sticks and candles will be placed on the silver cover of the monk’s bowl. After that, they will get blessed by the monk. Further to one of Buddhist’s belief, after making merit, we should pour water into any utensils. While pouring the water, they will think of their parents, relatives or their loved ones who already passed way and wish to devote the gained merit to them. At last, they will pour the water in the utensils under any large trees.

2) Maintaining religious teachings

To maintain Buddhism teachings, Thais can do it either at home or at temples or anywhere. For example, Thais usually take part Buddhist festivities at the temple by offering food to the monks and listening to the prayer. Likewise, they can meditate at home or temple to purify their mind. Moreover, giving is the main concept of Buddhism. It is said the more you give, the happier you become. Thai people like to make merit by releasing fishes into the river as they believe that giving live to others is the best way to gain merit and happiness to their minds. The other way is to donate necessary things or some money to less fortunate people. As long as you maintain religious commandment by whichever ways, you will receive merit and good things in return.

3) To pray

When you pray with purified mind and good intention, you will certainly gain merit. Most Thai people always pray at night before they go to bed. Mostly, they will finish the last prayer to devote the gained merit to poor animal, suffered people and even their enemy from both past and present life.

No matter which method of merit making you do, the most significant rule to always keep in mind before making merit is to purify your mind and be conscious and do all things with good intention. Please do not only expect of the merit you will gain, but please consider in mind the concept of giving which can make you happy and have a peaceful life.
