Hi Marilette

 

I'm Norma Costa. I've taken Basic, Advanced,

Psychotherapy and Arhatic

Yoga Preparatory level

 

There's a patient with syndrom of restless leg. When

he starts to fall asleep his leg starts to make

involuntary movements and he cannot rest.

 

Could you give medical background and PH protocol for

that?

 

Thank you very much for your support.

 

Love Light and Bliss

Dear Susana and Norma,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Parasomnia means " around sleep " . Parasomnias can be

described as “strange things that go bump in the

night”.

 

They are a group of acute, undesirable, episodic

physical phenomena that usually occur during sleep, or

are exaggerated by sleep. Even though parasomnias

occur during different stages of sleep and at

different times during the night they are

characterized by partial arousals before, during, or

after the event. Most parasomnias are precipitated or

perpetuated by stress, and an interaction between

biological and psychological factors is presumed in

many cases.

 

There are three different types of parasomnias, one

being those that occur during deep sleep or slow wave

sleep (SWS).

 

Slow wave sleep associated parasomnias are also known

as disorders of arousal. The arousal mechanism, in

terms of slumber, has nothing to do with sexual

arousal. Rather, it refers to the ability to wake up.

Partial arousal is simply a state of partial

wakefulness. They are disorders characterized by

undesirable motor, verbal, or experiential phenomenon

occurring in association with sleep, specific stages

of sleep, or sleep-awake transition phases.

 

Sleep walking (somnambulism) and night terrors (“pavor

nocturnus” in children and “incubus” in adults) are in

the group of SWS parasomnias. Slow wave sleep is

nonREM sleep (stages 3 and 4), and is the deepest

sleep occurring mostly during the first three hours of

the night. Patients who’s sleep is disturbed, rather

than becoming fully awake from SWS, enter a state of

confusion and disorientation. In association with the

partial arousal, heart rate and breathing increase.

 

Both sleep walking and night terrors are described as

“immaturities of the central nervous system” in

children, typically between 4-12 years of age, which

they grow out of; in adults they are thought to be

more indicative of psychopathology. Recall of these

events is usually lacking or poor, and a typical

episode lasts about 6 minutes but may range from a few

seconds up to 30 minutes.

 

Predisposing factors include a genetic component,

sleep deprivation, irregular sleep-wake schedules,

fever, certain medications including cardiac drugs and

sedatives. Sleep disorders affect adults, but are

much more common among children. The prevalence of

sleepwalking in children, for instance, is about 15

percent. Most will lose the tendency as they grow

older.

 

Parasomnias may be categorized as (1) primary

parasomnias, which are the disorders of sleep states

and are further classified according to the sleep

state of origin, rapid eye movement (REM), or

non–rapid eye movement (NREM) or (2) secondary

parasomnias, which are disorders of other organ

systems that may manifest during sleep, eg, seizures,

respiratory dyskinesias, arrhythmias,

and gastroesophageal reflux.

 

Two major types of primary sleep disorders are

described: dyssomnias and parasomnias. Primary sleep

disorder is a malady of sleep that does not appear to

be secondary to a physical or mental illness and is

not substance-induced. Unlike dyssomnias, which are

characterized by abnormal sleep quality, including

initiation, maintenance, duration, timing, and amount

of sleep, parasomnias are distinguished by deviant

behavioral and/or physiologic events. These

abnormalities/events are reliably associated with

either the sleep/wake interface or certain sleep

stages. Additionally, parasomnias manifest by

activation of systems, such as the autonomic nervous

system, or programs, such as cognitive, behavioral, or

motor program stimulation.

 

The parasomnias have been subdivided according to 2

major classification schemes, the American Psychiatric

Association's Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental

Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR)

and the American Sleep Disorders Association's

International Classification of Sleep Disorders

(ICSD). Four major types of parasomnias are included

in the DSM-IV-TR. They include:

 

(1) nightmare disorder,

(2) sleep terror disorder,

(3) sleepwalking disorder, and

(4) parasomnias not otherwise specified.

 

However, the ICSD subdivides the parasomnias into 3

groups according to the sleep state of origin. They

include (1) REM, (2) NREM, and (3) miscellaneous (ie,

not respecting the sleep state).

 

Sleep terror disorder: Sleep terror is a disorder of

arousal that primarily occurs during stages III and IV

of NREM sleep. Sleep terror manifests as extreme panic

and a loud scream during sleep, followed by motor

activities such as hitting objects or moving in and

out of the bedroom. Subsequent recollection of these

episodes either does not occur or is partial.

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

Divide the chakra into 4 sections frontally, the 5th

section is the core, the 6th section is the root. Use

this technique when scanning and cleansing a chakra.

When scanning, take note of uneveness o bumps on the

section of the chakra. Cleanse until the section is

completely smooth and balanced with all the other

sections.

 

2. Instruct the patient how to do proper pranic

breathing. Ask the patient to do 12 cycles of prani

cbreathing before start of treatment; continue during

treatment.

 

3. After the patient has completed 12 cycles of

pranic breathing, apply general sweeping.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the entire spine

and the sides of the spine alternately with LWG and

ordinary LWV.

 

Form the intention to remove and disintegrate fear and

trauma thought entities and negative thoughtforms when

cleansing.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the on the front and

back solar plexus chakra, crown chakra, forehad

chakra, ajna chakra, the back head minor chakra, base

of the head minor chakra, jaw minor chakras and throat

chakra with EV.

 

Rescan. Continue sweeping until all sections of each

chakra are smooth and balanced

 

Energize them with EV.

 

6. Localized thorough cleansing on the front and back

heart chakra using EV. Energize the heart chakra

through the back heart chakra with LEV or EV.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the legs and their

minor chakras and the perineum minor chakra using EV.

 

8. Localized thorough sweeping and energizing on the

basic chakra using EV.

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping on the navel, sex,

meng mein chakras and the kidneys. Energize the navel,

sex chakras and kidneys with W.

 

10. Create chakral shields on the front and back

solar plexus chakra, ajna chakra, crown chakra,

forehead chakra, back head minor chakra, base of the

head minor chakra and the basic chakra. Create an

auric shield.

 

11. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

12. Repeat treatment 2 to 3 times per week.

 

13. For the patient:

 

- Do pranic breathing for 5 minutes per session at

least 3 times per day, everyday, especially when

experiencing stress.

 

- Unless there are other medical conditions that

prevent the proper practice of the Meditation on Twin

Hearts, practice the Meditation (including the

physical exercises before and after meditation)

before each bedtime.

 

- Bathe in water with salt before Meditation at

night.

 

- Superbrain Yoga everyday:

for semi and full vegetarians - 14 cycles before as

last physical exercise before Meditation,

for non-vegetarian - 7 cycles before as last

physical exercise before Meditation.

 

- Regular physical exercise ( other Meditation and

Superbrain Yoga exercises) to reduce stress.
