snore

Welcome to "The Healthy Healer" podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Fred Moss. Through sustained conversations, we delve deep into the journeys of healers who've found their purpose after personal transformation. Many enter the healing profession with aspirations only to grapple with reality—endless training, unexpected responsibilities, and even disillusionment. But there are those who rise above, harnessing personal healing and rediscovering their passion. Our podcast features these inspiring souls who've returned to the healing profession, stronger and more aligned than ever. Join us for riveting conversations that shed light on the true essence of healing and the incredible individuals who've redefined their paths.

Here are a few key takeaways from the conversation:

- Meditation was the key for Manohar to overcome insomnia and sleepless nights. Regular meditation, especially before bedtime, helped reduce his anxiety and allowed him to relax and sleep better. 

- When waking up early, avoid ruminating on the lost sleep time. Instead focus on relaxing the body and mind, letting go of worries about the day ahead. Gratitude and acceptance can also help calm the mind back to sleep.

- Creating a sense of safety and security is important for falling asleep. Accepting distractions like snoring, rather than resisting them, can allow the mind to relax. 

- Meditation brings awareness to the present moment, freeing us from anxious thoughts about the future or ruminations of the past. This allows the brain to relax and sleep more easily.

- Consistent practice with one form of meditation works better than sporadically trying many different techniques. Start small and build up the practice over time.

- Manohar recommends the meditation course "Meditation for Everyone" by Greg DeVries on Udemy for beginners. He also has books, a website, and offers discovery calls for those interested in working with him.
