Does Traya Help with Insomnia?
While this question is not related to the standard Traya techniques outlined in Chakra Wisdom there is a chakra based Traya protocol for sleep difficulties. We often can’t sleep when we are stuck in the “thinking” mind often mulling things over and over. At svadhisthana (the pelvic chakra--1” below the navel) the mind and body come together beyond the influence of the thinking mind. Focus here stimulates prana (chi) and this practice increases the circulation of prana thoughout the lower body supporting physical and emotional strength and balance.
Sleep is a function of the root chakra, muladhara, and the feet are an extension of this chakra. Attention to the feet stimulates muladhara and helps to connect with the moment, further freeing us of the past and future where our worries often lie. This “practice” is healing and stabilizing and is recommended whether or not sleep problems are present.
Basic Traya sleep practice:
Focus your attention at svadhisthana (pelvic chakra) and breathe in and out:
Imagine an orange ball of energy pulsating there.
Exhale that ball of energy down to the soles of the feet and breathe there for two or three breaths.
Inhale the ball of energy back up to svadhisthana and let it circulate there for a breath or two.
Repeat until you fall asleep.
