Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key wellness / self-care / productivity strategies

1) Do a short “bedtime awareness” practice (12–15 minutes)

  • When: Tonight, before sleep.
  • How:
    • Lie down and remind yourself you are neither the body nor the mind.
    • Focus on a “space” between yourself and the body/mind.
    • If you can’t hold that awareness, synchronize with breath:
      • Inhalation: “I’m not the body.”
      • Exhalation: “I’m not even the mind.”
  • Timing detail: Continue until you fall asleep—carry the practice through the wake-to-sleep transition.

2) Sleep with alertness (wakefulness-to-sleep mindfulness)

  • Emphasis is on noticing the exact moment you transition from wakefulness into sleep.
  • Claim: sleeping “in an alert manner” may reduce your sleep duration (e.g., from ~8 hours to 3–4 hours) while still being effective.

3) Shift from “doing” to “being”

  • Doing: involves the body, thoughts, emotions, and energetic activity.
  • Being: treated as a non-physical dimension—aiming to rest in pure awareness rather than external states.
  • Wellness goal: create space between self, body, and mind so suffering eases. (Physical and mental suffering are framed as the main types.)

4) Cooperate with “Akashic intelligence” (empty space)

  • Core idea: Empty space (“akash”) is described as intelligent and supportive; life improves when you cooperate with it.
  • Simple ritual (3 times/day):
    1. After sunrise, before the sun crosses ~30°: look up and bow down to the empty space holding you in place.
    2. After it crosses 30°: look up and bow again during the day.
    3. After sunset: look up and bow down a third time.
  • Not religiously targeted: Bowing is directed to the empty space, not a specific god.

5) Train attention as a powerful force (without a specific purpose)

  • Use breath as an attention tool.
  • Develop attention that is not calculated and not tied to immediate results—just attentive awareness.
  • Engage more than the mind: attention can be practiced with the whole body/energies to strengthen it.
  • Expected outcome: life “yields” or improves to the extent you can create the power of attention.
