Chi Kung, Tai chi Chuan, Yoga, Transcendental meditation teach us one very simple thing.
I tell you in another words and, please, let me know whether is this what is happening with you mom.
She is the worried-about-everthing-type of person. She cares about school, grades, low success students, if she is doing her best at school, if she did any mistake, her sons and husband, whether they are all well, and so on …
So, anything will keep her awake at night, any worry about her beloved ones. So, she is restless, the turns left and right, crosses her legs and decrosses them, and the more she moves, the more nervous she is, and the more nervous she is the more restless she is. and hours start tickling and she is more worried because she cannot sleep for she is a good professional and she knows that she must give her best in school next day and if she cannot sleep she cannot do the maximum for she strives for perfection. And she becomes more restless and decides to do up and take a cup of milk or read a book or watch a little bit of Tv so as to calm down …
Till she gets asleep of pure exhaustion and next day she wakes up and has got dark spots around her eyes, still she strives to do her best but she is worried. But she is strong as a mountain, she supports everybody but she does not complain as she asks no one to support her.
So, her offspring who is worried with mother (he/she was well educated and cares for others) decided ask for an opinion.
joshrp, I would like to give an opinion. But I want to have a scenario, otherwise I am saying “run to the left” and it should be to the right", “go up” and it should be “go down”. So, tell me please, does this scenario meets your mom character? You may show it to your mother. If so-and-son, tel me please, from 0-100 (0= nothing; 100=perfectly), which number you and/or your mother would choose?
Accordingly I would say what I think.

Hi,
My Mom has been having a lot of trouble falling asleep at night. She works in a school and will be going back to work next week so she needs to get back on a regular sleeping schedule soon. Could you please pray for her and all people who have been having trouble sleeping? Also ask for the intercession of St. Peter Damian who had very bad chronic insomnia.
God bless you all,
Joshua
