[FONT=Book Antiqua]Please note; I know almost nothing about yoga. I write on behalf of a friend of mine, who has some problems in that he has been haunted by [B]insomnia[/B], for a long time, since he visited a ‘hardcore’ [I]Zen-meditation-camp.[/I] And, as the [B]Ajna Chakra[/B] by some is said to be connected to, [I]or actually correspond to[/I], the sleeping-control-centre in the brain (the [B]pineal gland[/B], releasing [I]Melatonin [/I]which makes us sleep and therefore control our sleeping habits), I just wonder if it’s possible that my friend in some way has managed to [I]disturb[/I] the balance of this “third eye” or “eye of knowledge” by meditating intensely, [B][I]reaching a level of consciousness he wasn’t prepared for?[/I][/B] It seams plausible, in my eyes, that he by mistake has awakened [B][U]something[/U][/B] which he can not control, resulting in this [I][B]inability to sleep[/B][/I]. What do you think? Is there a connection? And if so, what can one do about it? [/FONT]
