Monster under the bed:

Many of us complain of not being able to have a good night's sleep. While there may be various reasons for not getting proper sleep, there is one reason that we shall explore in this blog i.e., monster under your bed.

There are various recommendations on how to sleep. However, let us leave position, method, timing, duration, ambience, etc of sleeping for another blog and just take only variable i.e., bed. 
It is best to sleep as close to the ground as possible. Shri Ram, during his time in forest, slept on tree leaves. Since we are not going to sleep on the ground, it is best to sleep on a mattress (thin if possible else thick), which is laid on ground. However, for most of us that would not be practical. So, the next best thing would be to use an Indian traditional weaved bed which is also known by the name of “khatiya”. Let us be real, who in today’s world sleeps on a “khatiya”?

Let’s say “khatiya” is not possible. At least we should sleep on a bed with four legs. These beds are traditionally called “Takta” or “Takt” where air can pass below the bed. Ok, let me stop joking now. This is 21st century and who even thinks like this. 

Let us be modern and talk about what most of us actually sleep on. Our beds are designed such that there is no space for air to pass below it. Moreover, due to space constraints, we like to have storage under our bed. This gives the perfect opportunity for monsters to get inside and haunt us at night. You still don’t believe me?

Let us not kid ourselves. Many of us don’t even remember what we put in those spaces under the bed. Rarely do we open and shuffle the items inside. 
First thing, if air cannot pass under the bed, energies get stuck in such spaces. Why is it so important to have energies regulated below the bed? Because we spend 8 hours (give or take) on bed i.e., one third of the day. So, what happens in bed matters a lot. 

Second thing, when we have old unused items, they create an impact on your subtle mind. When we are sleeping, of course our conscious mind takes rest. Now what we perceive is no more our conscious decision. Now you understand those weird dreams? During sadhana, a sadhu is very conscious on which land sadhana is performed, on what ashan it is performed. Sometimes, some of them even bury certain things below the ground on which they would perform sadhana. Some of them put some Yantra below their ashan. Hope you get the drift of importance of stuff you keep under your bed.

Third thing, if by chance you have kept old clothes or stuff of people who have already passed away, or for some reason, stuff of people you don’t like (yes, there can be such a situation too), it would be very difficult to get rid of their memories. 
So, what to do now?

If you are stuck with such a bed, there are few things you can do. One, try to shuffle things at least a couple of times in a year. Second, try to keep only winter related items under the bed so that naturally you take them out once a year. Third, be conscious of what you put below your sleeping bed and how it may affect you. If you think that you are having issues that might relate to stuff under your bed, please remove them and keep them somewhere else.

And one last thing, use a thick cotton or a silk bed cover on your bed before you sleep. 
Have a good night and not let the monster take over tonite!!!
