Martin’s Journey to Restful Sleep: A Physicist's Quiet Transformation
Martin, a distinguished physicist (Martin, BSc MPhil CPhys MinstP FRMetS FRAS ) from London, had battled with lifelong insomnia. Despite his academic success and deep understanding of the physical world, the mystery of sleep remained elusive to him. Sleepless nights had become a norm—until he crossed paths with Adhiyogi, an experienced teacher of the Authentic Yoga System.
During a quiet and thoughtful conversation, Adhiyogi made a simple yet precise recommendation: listen to a loop recording of a tanpura playing a D note, ideally every night, for at least 1 to 3 months. But there was one subtle instruction— “Do not discuss this with anyone while doing it.”
With curiosity and trust, Martin followed the suggestion. To his surprise, within a few months, his sleep patterns began to shift. The once restless nights gave way to deeper, calmer sleep. He didn’t need elaborate medications or complicated sleep therapies—just the vibration of a sacred sound, practiced consistently and in silence.
Now, six months later, Martin continues to use the tanpura recording to maintain his restful sleep. The change in his life was subtle, gentle, and profound—an experience that reaffirmed his faith in holistic methods that combine vibration, discipline, and inner silence.
OM Shantiḥ.
