I am hoping at the very least, to gain further insights about the experience i had today with the Occipital Ridge, and primarily any suggestions along the QT/ energy way towards an outcome of consistently good sleep.

This morning while lying in bed, I placed the hands on Occipital Ridge and soft part of the neck. It was amazingly relaxing, and opened up the depth of feeling in my whole back. Which in comparison, seemed to be a lower level of feeling most other times. I have experienced this relaxation many other times when placing hands there, but not every single time and the depth of relaxation has not always been the same. Perhaps it is specific positioning of hands or times of being more open to it, but not really sure. In a DVD workshop a few weeks ago, the person working on me placed one hand on Occipital Ridge, and the other on the Sacrum. I felt really safe. It was really nice, comforting, in some way a feeling of empowerment, and sort of opened me up to myself in some way.

It felt like melting. That amount of relaxation, I have rarely experienced during sleep times over the past 15 to 20 years of insomnia. Sleeping patterns have been; Light; continually awakening out of sleep and turning (after about 3am for some reason). Lying on my back has most of the time felt uncomfortable. I have tried several types of mattress’s, and several sizes and types of pillows. None have been a solution, but some have made sleeping better than others, such as the current 5cm / 2 inch thick rubber foam sheet over the bed . The Latex rubber pillow was also the most physically comfortable, but after using it for about a year, I was curious enough to swap with a conventional cotton stuffed pillow. The cotton pillow was missing the active energy I had been experiencing around my head. Cotton was much “quieter”. I noticed hollow “tubes” in the latex pillow pointing towards the ceiling direction. I speculated these tubes maybe have been generating or directing energy to my head, so I removed the rubber foam sheet from my bed which also has these tubes, but not as concentrated as the pillow. It did not improve my sleep and I felt so uncomfortable.

Sometimes I sort of get myself into a feeling space, and project the space of the intention around where I sleep, that I am sleeping well. That is usually not in the room with the feeling space explained, but if I am in the room, it may be done as an intention before going to sleep, that it will be good. It has worked,, but not every time. When it has not, I have given up or forgotten about it. Restlessness from about 3am seems to have been the most common sticking point.

I am not really conversant with dowsing, but did play around with some coat hanger wires a friend of the family brought over to find where bore water may be. Without being shown or told locations, I did find the spots he found. So I was curious to play some more, and found various spots and lines inside the house. One line runs through my bed, and at least 30 metres/ 100 feet long in what I could measure without asking other neighbours if I could dowse their property. I was thinking that perhaps there is energy coming up from the property that may be contributing to the restless sleep. When I lie in bed, I feel one way, and if I shift slightly more to to one side of the bed I feel different, and the feeling becomes more prominent. The level of this seems to also vary according to the day and season. Or perhaps it is just my sensitivity that varies. If it is earth energy that is affecting my sleep, could it be simply a catalyst for what is already there emotionally or energetically. I am just guessing at possibilities.

I am unable to shift the bed position without major effort that could take me half a week to a week possibly. I was able to shift the bed 90 degrees, and had it in the middle of the room one time. There was active energy at my feet so I moved them out of the field, but felt the position was uncomfortable by doing so, which did not help sleep much.

Hi Paule

I had some experience with water lines(?) on a farm I worked on. I have never slept as bad as I did there and my mood swings were even for me unbearable.
One of things I notice at the time was that the cows, heifers and chicken were very edgy so was the farmer too.
Never in my farming time(5 years) have I seen so many warts on the cows and heifers teats and the worst thing was the cannibalism between the chickens.
The farmer after long persuasion of his wife got a dowser in to find the water lines on the farm. The farm was surrounded that explained everything. New barns were build, the heifers and chickens got moved. In less than a fortnight there were less dead chicken and what I have heard is the upcoming heifers had less warts or none.
Have you heard of rye straw mattresses? These hold of earth energy but they are very very hard to sleep on and than there is pure peat.
Have you also checked your sensitivity on the moon phases and weather?
I would send energy to the earth cause there are two very strong forces at work. One is the earth the other is water. Neither will go away so I would try to bring them in harmony by sending energy.
Do you know any of the QT advance courses? There are lots of more technics to work with as in your circumstances.

Hi Paule, imnsonia is serious, so serious that the "Federal University of São Paulo, Brasil, has an "Sleep Institute" devoted to study it. Iwas watching the Tv today and a Doc was talking about a syndrome, people who suffers from that syndrome need to move their legs sometimes the hole body in the night, so thay seldom go into the deep sleep, and if we don't go trough all the sleep cycles, of deep and light we can't rest.
Keep doing what what you fel it's good for you, follow your intuition.
Bye
