All,
I've been immersed in the AYP teachings for a little over 6 months. I started with DM in February, dabbled in Spinal Breathing, and recently added Samyana practice. I love it. It's been a game changer for me.
I have a question - I'd like to do some practice at night sometimes but DM interferes with deep sleep. Is there a practice in the AYP System that I can do at bedtime to 'trigger' witness consciousness that doesn't keep me awake?
Thanks!
Michael |

Hello Michael
There is a practice called Cosmic Samyama (lesson #299) that can be undertaken after many months of sablization with your regular Samyama practice. Here is an excerpt:
"Cosmic samyama is a practice we will do while lying on our back, relaxed with eyes closed. It is similar to the corpse pose utilized at the end of our yoga asana routine, except we elevate our head on a pillow or two and rest our hands easily on our solar plexus, the area between the navel and the bottom of the ribs. Our legs can lie flat and easy. This can be done on the bed, if desired. If we are not in a place where we are able to lie down, then we just lean back in whatever place we happen to be sitting. The key thing is to be comfortable.
Cosmic samyama can be performed at the end of our sitting practices, using a predetermined series of sutras. It then becomes the first part of our rest period after all of our sitting practices are finished. We also have the option to do it right before we go to sleep at night."

Thanks Dogboy
I will read that lesson! I'll probably give it a try in a few months.

Cosmic Samyama is recommended at 6 mo of practice? I disagree. He just started basic Samyama, and he would be adding a crown practice within this.
You can do what you want, but I disagree with this advice( even though Dogboy is awesome). |

| Well, if you think the crown is too much for you at present, just skip that point/sutra while doing cosmic samyama (a form of Yoga nidra). In this way there is no harm, specially if you end in the heart chakra (previous to AYP I did many years of another form of Yoga Nidra that ended in the heart chakra). |
