Odd thing

So wandering my way through this guided tour of all things hynosis, I've come across an interesting point. I used to be dead religious, and I could, reasonably easily, enter a meditative state and stick there for half an hour, hour at a time. I can't do that anymore - a couple of reasons, not least being totally out of practice. But I can still get there, even if I can only hold it for 5 or 10 minutes at best.

Now this isn't, per-se, the interesting thing. Turns out that if I go to that place, with only 20 seconds or so of prep, and to get into it properly it takes much longer, I can hold my breath for over twice as long as I usually can. I'm not really sure what use it is, but when I was doing that I realised that when I can't sleep, it's a very similar thing I do to force myself to sleep.

More often than not works, if I'm having difficulty sleeping.

So hey, even when I'm ill and I'm not properly studying, I still learn things. Been learning more things, but I left my notepad somewhere else, so I've not been writing them up. Will correct in a couple of days, hopefully. Also, my first attempt at hypnosis this weekend, I think :D Nothing too audacious, but you never know, I might be hypnotising people to be stuck to bars in no time.
