SVAPNA NIDRA JNANALAMBANAM VA - Or by concentrating on an experience had during dream or deep sleep. This is I-38 of Pantanjali's Yoga Sutra, which is another way that one can still the vrittis (modifications of the mind).On this sutra Swami Satchidananda comments that sometimes we might dream of divine beings or feel that we have gone to a higher plane. By remembering them and thinking of them we can bring about serenity and one-pointedness. If you don' t dream, imagine or think about the peace of deep sleep. As sleep itself is very tamasic, or inert, you could imagine the peace of that sleep, not the sleep itself.
These are just suggestions of techniques to keep the mind serene. Of course not everyone will use these techniques as different strokes for different folks.
