Seven years in Tibet (Movie)

An enlightening experience

Dalai Lama: Tell me a story, Heinrich. Tell me a story about climbing mountains.
Heinrich Harrer: That's one way to fall asleep. Those stories bore even me.
Dalai Lama: Then tell me what you love about it.
Heinrich Harrer: The absolute simplicity. That's what I love. When you're climbing your mind is clear and free from all confusions. You have focus. And suddenly the light becomes sharper, the sounds are richer and you're filled with the deep, powerful presence of life. I've only felt that one other time.
Dalai Lama: When?
Heinrich Harrer: In your presence, Kundun.

“In the time between the two wars, a British colonial officer said that with the invention of the airplane the world has no secrets left. However, he said, there is one last mystery. There is a large country on the Roof of the World, where strange things happen. There are monks who have the ability to separate mind from body, shamans and oracles who make government decisions, and a God-King who lives in a skyscraper-like palace in the Forbidden City of Llhasa.”
― Heinrich Harrer, Seven Years in Tibet

Some notes for better sleep
Source: Sadguru videos

• Positive Pranic Food.
• Balanced energy
• Raw food so that you get enough energy by eating less.  (40% to 50% of the food should be alive)
• Vegetables, fruits, nuts, sprouts
• Eat 4 hours before sleep
• Shower with lukewarm water before sleep
• Light a little lamp with organic oil in the bedroom before sleeping
• Don’t put your head to the north in India as the blood flows towards the brain and it disturbs the sleep. If you go to Australia, don’t put your head to the south.
• Before you go to bed, last three minutes, everything that you have gathered, the body, the content of the mind, thought, relationships …. everything you have gathered…keep it aside and sleep. You will get up fresh.
• What kind of sounds I awake to will define the context of the day and the future.
• Vairagya chants.
• When you wake up rub hands and place them upon the eye. While getting up, turn to the right.
• Tomorrow morning, when you wake up, check if you are awake. You can at least smile, that you are alive. A little celebration.
