Link to Visit: Wake Up Refreshed Every Morning with Sleeptracker

Have you ever wondered why its often hard to wake up at a time set on a normal alarm clock? The answer is because the alarm clocks we have had available up to now cannot detect where you are in your sleep cycle.

In the morning we go through a continuous cycle from deep sleep, to brief almost-awake moments, and back to deep sleep again. These cycles become more rapid near the time we wake up because it is during this phase of our night's sleep that we dream.

This sleep phase is often called "REM" sleep, short for Rapid Eye Movements. Our eyes move with our eyelids shut in response to the various actions and activities which we experience in our dreams.

Discover the Transformative Power of Breathing

Frequent readers of the Mindware Forum are aware of the excellent work of personal growth leader Bradley Thompson. Among his developments, I have posted about his Lucid Dreaming and Binaural Beats products.

Thompson's latest creation focuses on a subtle yet profound area of personal development -- breathing. The importance of breath and how we breathe has been recognized throughout our history as a species.

In the East, the study of breathing was always an integral part of the religions and personal development schools of the Tibetan, Indians, Chinese, and Japanese.

Perhaps most well known is the breathing technique which is part of the Indian Yogic tradition called Pranayama (sometimes referred to as Prana). Translated into English, Pranayama loosely means "breath control". Ancient Indian yoga masters developed sophisticated and varied breathing techniques to maximize the benefits of prana.

Pranayama is utilized to clear and cleanse the body and mind. It is also used in preparation for meditation, and in asanas,the practice of postures, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the mind. In Tibet, a variation of Pranyama was developed called Kum Nye.

Japan's most notable breathing work school was calld Nishino Breathing Method and was considered a method to unlock Ki (Life-energy).

In China along a parallel evolution was Qiqong The  Art of Breathing (also known as chi kung, chi gong, ch'i kung, chi gung, qigong, qi qong,) or "Vapor-Achievement." This study was an integral  aspect of Chinese medicine involving the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body.

The study of breathing and breathe work also has ancient origins in the West. Breathing techniques were part of the "mysteries" of the ancient Egyptians. The early Hebrews used the word ruah which literally means air, wind or breath as synonymous with soul.

The Bible emphasizes that God, creating Adam, "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This double meaning of "breathing" extends into modern English usage.  The Latin verb spirare (to breath)  is contained in the word inspiration. The ancient Greeks referred to creativity as inspiration which means be filled with the breathe of the gods. All over the world in myths and legends and tales told through the centuries as in secret societies-breathing play a significant role.
