Hello there,

I've come across a predicament when I practice MILD now. I find that whenever I practice it I get so many thoughts that I can't fall asleep and end up staying in a sort of semi asleep state for a few hours repeating the phrase. Then I get fed up and try to go to sleep but end up getting a million thoughts running through my head. I get a few hours of non REM sleep and am surprisingly awake the next day. I still don't feel comfortable with it. I've never had problems with insomnia and I've practised MILD before on numerous occasions and this never happened. Also because of this my circadian rythym is messed up, my dream recall is gone, and the reader can probably taste the tension I feel in this writing. Does anybody have any tips? I'm going to stop MILD for now, hopefully someone has a tip that lets me go back to it. Also, I'm sorry if I sound grouchy or incoherent. I can hardly think on three hours of lying in bed for two nights. Also, I meditate everyday and am fully aware of lavender oil, lemond balm etc. I'm looking more for tips in regards to naturally falling asleep and practicing a MILD better.
Thanks a lot for any feedback, I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Dom.
