Meditate to Keep Insomnia Away

Here's a quick and easy meditation to send you off to peaceful dreamland.


The Creation Mantra


Yogis believe that the first sound of the universe was a long, deep sound known as Om (pronounced AUM). To recreate the sound of this sacred beginning, take a deep breath in. As you exhale, with a slightly open mouth, allow an "aaaahhhhh" to escape your lips. Round your lips mid exhale to make the sound "uuuuuuu". Finally, close your lips with a soft "mmmmmm" sound. Repeat this process and allow the sound to resonate deep with in you. Close your eyes, lay back, and drift away on an "AAAAAA uuuuuuu mmmmmmmm........"
