Effect of sleeping at twilight ? A spiritual perspective Self Help Articles | August 29 Brandon Manning Youth Jersey , 2008 After a hectic schedule at work, everyone is in a hurry to be back at home and relax. Many people even have the habit of taking a quick nap after returning from the office in the evening. All of us want to have a good sleep may it be at any time in the day to get up well rested.
But to have a good and sound sleep, many factors need to be considered. In this article we will see what happens when taking a nap at twilight time of the day.
It is important to know what actually happens in the subtle dimension when we go to sleep at twilight so that we can make an educated decision on how to sleep well and when to sleep to achieve that.
Spiritual perspective of sleep and the events occurring in subtle during sleep
From a spiritual perspective Brandon Saad Youth Jersey , sleep is basically a state most related to the subtle basic tama (ignorance and inertia)component. That means during sleep the subtle basic tama (ignorance and inertia)?component in our body gets heightened.
Coupled with this, as our spiritual practice is also at its lowest during sleep, we are spiritually most vulnerable when we sleep. As a result when we sleep Artem Anisimov Youth Jersey , we are more susceptible to the spiritual pollution of subtle basic raja (activity and passion) ? tama (ignorance and inertia)and attacks by ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies etc.)
When we sleep
·??????? We go from the conscious state to the dormant state physically Chris Kunitz Youth Jersey , mentally as well as spiritually.
·??????? Due to this, the efficiency of the internal spaces in the body, as well as of the cells and the circulatory system is highly reduced. (Internal spaces are the spaces between 2 organs in the body.)
·??????? Due to the sleeping state the sub-vital energies in the body (upapraana) are set into motion which activates the internal excretory gases and they start moving in a downward direction.
·??????? As a result the distressing vibrations transmitted from the Regions of Hell are attracted towards the sleeping person.
Subtle events at twilight in the atmosphere and its influence on us
·??????? The momentum of the subtle basic raja-tama particles in the atmosphere is higher during twilight when compared to other parts of the day.
·??????? Negative energies from the Regions of Hell (Paataal) utilize this motion of the subtle basic raja-tama particles to gain easy entry into the atmosphere.
·??????? Because of the influence of this spiritually polluted atmosphere Alex DeBrincat Youth Jersey , the subtle basic raja-tama frequencies are transferred from the physical body of the person to his vital energy body (praanadeha) in a very short time.
Effect of spiritually polluted atmosphere on us
·?????????????????? nightmares
·?????????????????? waking up with a startle
·?????????????????? trembling of the body
·?????????????????? sensation akin to electric shock
·?????????????????? possession by ghosts
In summary
At physical level we may feel rested by this nap in the evening but at a deeper spiritual level we run a greater risk. As we are ignorant about this science we do not realize that we have been affected by negative energies, neither do we link any of the above distress to being affected by negative energies.
From a spiritual perspective as the proportion of the subtle basic raja-tama component is high at twilight, it is best not to indulge in an activity like sleep which is predominantly taamasik.(full of ignorance and inertia)

A recent news report on CNN news channel grabbed my attention and shocked me at the way autistic children were treated. In the news report Brent Seabrook Youth Jersey , a special education teacher of a school in Kentucky punished her autistic student by putting him in a net ball bag for being unruly in the class. Just imagine the condition of the mother who comes to the school and sees her son struggling inside the bag and feeling scared. This is a nightmare for all parents especially for parents of autistic children. Why are people so inconsiderate to autistic people? In this case a special school teacher who is supposed to teach and care for such kind of children did such a dreadful act. Either the teacher did not have the necessary training or she was not aware that autism is a kind of neural disorder.
Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first three years of a child. This neural development disorder affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. An autistic child will have difficulty in playing, interacting with others and having verbal and nonverbal communication. Generally, autistic children will be normal up to two years and after that they will regress back to the toddler (baby) stage where they lose their basic language and social interaction skills.
In December 2009 Patrick Kane Youth Jersey , the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report stating that the prevalence of autism has risen to one in every 110 births in the US alone. Most researchers and scientists have not found out the cause of autism and many of them believe that it could be due to the genetic disorder, diet, mercury poisoning Corey Crawford Youth Jersey , inability of the body to use vitamins and minerals properly and vaccine sensitivity. A lot of research is being held, but the precise reason for the cause of autism is still not yet found.
