Overcome Insomnia and Sleep Better with the MC2 Method |
Do you remember the last time you had a really good sleep? That fully refreshed, mentally renewed feeling, your body awaking out of a deep, calm stillness. It’s a wonderful feeling, and developing your ability to slip naturally into that state is the goal of the following exercises. Given that we spend approximately one third of our lives in sleep, and given that the quality of that one third greatly impacts the other two thirds, taking some time to learn how to sleep well is definitely a worthwhile endeavor.
The "Better Sleep" principles that we'll cover (based on the MC2 Method) are divided into two sections:
You'll soon master the process and be able to use the exercises before bedtime or while falling asleep. You'll find that the techniques are not just extremely powerful tools for launching yourself into deep sleep - they are excellent methods of renewing your body and mind during the day as well.
Here are some comments I've received about the Self Therapy & MC2 Method programs, which the audio you're about to listen to is based on: "Of all the tapes I have purchased over the years I am most impressed with [this] approach. I listen to it regularly - almost on a nightly basis. As a student of yoga and taichi I appreciate the novel approach." - William G. "I just wanted to tell you how great this program is and how easy it is to add to my nightly ritual to get to sleep. Thank you!" - Stacy T. "I found the program and the exercises extremely helpful with my chronic insomnia. I would recommend it to anyone with insomnia and in fact I already have." - Stephen "Over the last few months I was wakening in the middle of the night. After one session of your instructions I had my first anxiety free night." "When I discovered the program online, I downloaded it and listened to it right away. Within hours my anxiety was greatly reduced and I finally slept really well that night." - Annemarie "I would recommend it to anyone I know who is having trouble sleeping. Thanks" - Mark H. |
At this point, there is no prescription cure for sleep disorder. Sleeping pills may temporarily dull a condition that is causing insomnia, but will not be a permanent cure. Most drugs have side effects and interfere with the deep sleep and mental renewal that we really crave. The goal of these pages is to give you some tools to dissolve the underlying cause of your sleep problem, instead of covering it up with medication. The method you'll be learning has worked extremely well for many people in achieving restful sleep, and we sincerely hope that it will be of the same benefit to you.
However, there are a variety of medical conditions, including sleep apnea, severe snoring, diabetes and others that may interfere with sleep, and for which medication or other treatment might be required. So please use your best judgement and consult with a medical doctor if you are still having sleep difficulties after a week or so. We are not suggesting that medication is not right for your condition, only that there are many people out there taking pills in situations where a non-drug solution would be just fine.

The most common cause of sleep disorder is not external or environmental disturbance, but rather internal disturbance — which makes insomnia more of a psychological phenomena than anything else. This section, "The Inner Game of Better Sleep", addresses those issues and gives you some great techniques of quickly overcoming the mental obstacles to sleep. The instructions are provided as a digital audio recording since they should be practiced with your eyes closed.
While listening to the sessions below, you should be comfortably seated in an area free from distractions. You should not be driving or operating machinery of any kind.
