I read something the other day that said Geminis have trouble sleeping because their minds are too busy. Geminis and health. I can totally identify with that so searched for mind quietening visualisations and here are some of my favourites.
1. A calm mind for better sleep A brilliant insomnia website, full of useful tips.
2. Internal Yoga A useful technique for relaxation before bed
3. A visualization to calm the mind A very useful activity
4. 8 tips to quieten the mind Another excellent site with some good meditation resources
5. Progressive relaxation A very useful technique which can be highly effective
6. A guided imagery technique for insomnia I really like this one and will try it tonight
There are so many more out there on the internet, plus youtube has a lot of yoga and relaxation videos that might help. Other ways I've found to help quieten my Gemini mind are:
1. Don't work too late (it's now 1.40am oops!)
2. Listen to relaxing music or a meditation podcast before sleep
3. Don't work in the bedroom - keep it a relaxation room
4. Write down the next day's tasks long before bed
5. Keep pen and paper by the bed in case I think of anything else I want to remember
To all of you who are having trouble sleeping, try some of these out. I'd love to know how you get on.
Sleep tight xx
