Here is an exercise that you might do if you are having problems with any of the following things – some sleep related, some not.

• feeling out of sorts generally
• bumping into things
• declining performance
• self sabotage
• anxiety
• panic
• procrastination
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

We know that a number of the issues above relate to sleep.

How can you fall asleep fast if you’re worried and anxious about things?

Sleep solutions are only useful if they address how to fall asleep, how to sleep better and are natural sleep aids.

Now before you watch…  here’s my personal story on how a neurological re-balance, similar to this process,  changed one aspect of my life quite dramatically – about 22 years ago.

I used to be a reading dyslexic, falling asleep or not actually comprehending what I was reading.  When I tried to study at school I would either get really bored, fall asleep, or find myself reading the same 2 paragraphs over and over again… to get the meaning.  I just didn’t register.  I didn’t read a whole book ever until I was about 29 years old.    Yes, even through my university years.

And for those of you who are thinking that dyslexia relates to jumbling up numbers it’s not always about that (though that certainly does sound like dyslexia).

My numbers were fine – in fact, I think it was BECAUSE I was quite intelligent in other areas, like maths (topping the class in a number of subjects) that no-one ever found out my problem.

And back then (before twitter and facebook!) – alternative health was marginalized (not like now where everyone who’s anyone is looking closer at what is offering).

It was a wacky looking neurological re-balance like this that fixed my reading dyslexia.  (And by the way it was Geraldine Gallagher, one of the featured sleep experts, who knew exactly what I needed to do in order to start reading properly).

So have a look at this process… and if you want to address some of the issues listed at the top of this blog, tap away with Doctor Ng.

Tell me how you go with this.  I’d love to know.

If I hadn’t experienced benefits for many years from people trained in how our neurology works, I wouldn’t believe a word of any of this.  There’s nothing logical to the untrained person about this.

We need the sleep experts.

Good news is, it’s very easy to do, and harmless to find out if it is going to make a difference in your life.

Have fun…. tap, breathe, readjust

PS.   For people who think they might also be a reading dyslexic, other signs are not being about to ride a 2 wheeler bike, and being annoyed by slow walkers (you want to walk fast, they want to walk slowly).  It was the movement of my eyes from left to right continually, that ‘switched off’ my system and made me want to fall asleep, or ‘not engage’.  There is also a connection between allergies and dyslexia, another thing to consider.  There are opportunities to find sleep solutions when you investigate your allergies and food intolerances.

Melatonin, Serotonin and Stress Strategies
————————————————————————————-
Serotonin, the potent vasoconstrictor and neurotransmitter is found particularly in the brain and intestinal tissue and blood-platelets.

In fact, did you know that about 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut?

This webinar features the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the enteric nervous system (gut).

Melatonin and serotonin are tied in with the enteric nervous system.  They’re independent, and they often don’t talk to each other.

Geraldine Gallagher, Melatonin and Serotonin

Our special guest this week, Geraldine Gallagher, is a Sydney kinesiologist, practitioner and instructor of kinesiology programs, both in Australia and overseas.  Gallagher has expolored many modalities and now teaches Neuro-training programs, mentors practitioners, and has presented conference papers in Australia, Italy, Belgium, England and Ireland.  Gallagher has studied homeopathy, is a qualified Master Practitioner of NLP and was the president of the Kinesiology Association of NSW for 5 years.  She has authored two successful programs Creative Nutrition and Essence of Change.

Twenty four years in clinical practise has enabled her to research a unique range of flower and gem essences specifically focused on overcoming common problems related to change (including stress and sleep) and they have a direct link to the ancient Chinese philosophy through the hexagrams of the I Ching.

This was a fascinating night with Geraldine, a long-time personal friend of mine.

Her understanding of sleep includes information on the two nervous systems (entheric and autonomic) and their relationship to melatonin and serotonin, the part the vagus nerve plays and the essences she has personally developed to help with sleep, stress, change, motivation, and many other aspects of life.

Her approach is unique and the proposed sleep solutions.
