Sleep Meditation For Spiritual Transformation

While we sleep, there is a part of that is not asleep, conscious. There is a way to engage this part and be moving spiritually all night long.

It all comes down to that moment we fall asleep. If we fall asleep in an unconscious state, then whatever your mind produces will keep increasing while you sleep. If we fall asleep in a conscious state, by focusing on a question, an intention, a prayer in our heart, with a longing for higher truth, then this will keep increasing all night long.

Your sleep will be deeper, more rejuvenating and in the morning you might receive exactly the information your soul needs to hear. Try it, give it a chance. It is a most powerful way to prepare for conscious sleep and be moving into the light all night long.

So,

As you go into bed,

While you are listening to my words,

Make your body very,

Very comfortable.

Take a few extra seconds to get the covers and the pillow just right.

Go slow at this.

Lay your body in a way that feels most comfortable,

So you can relax and it all feels just right.

You can take a deep breath.

Just let your day go.

Take another deep breath.

Become aware of your body.

Notice it as a heavy thing that's resting comfortably in the bed and on the cushion.

Feel the weight of your body.

Feel where it touches the bed.

And as you feel the weight,

Allow all to become restful and relaxed.

At night,

While we sleep,

There is a part of us deep within that does not become unconscious and that part of us is being attended to by a benevolent spiritual presence.

There is a part of you,

Within you,

That can trust that we're not alone in this world.

And there is a bigger spiritual presence somehow close to us,

Guiding and assisting.

You can rest more deeply at night when you think of how there is truth to this,

Even if the conscious mind cannot understand it.

Keep letting your body become heavier and heavier.

And become aware now of the thoughts in your mind.

And then gently let all the thought cross through and say or do whatever they need to do.

And as each one of them passes by,

Just let it go.

Let all of the thought energy just dissolve away.

Except for one.

There's one thing that you would like to know about.

A question you have about something.

Perhaps a way to help the world or yourself.

Perhaps your family,

A friend.

Your question is a kind of a gentle focus for a state of consciousness that brings you peace and connection.

What is it that you want to know about?

It's right there.

Just see what it is.

There.

You probably have it.

What is the question for you now to take into your sleep?

Just take it with you and trust that information is there for you about that question.

Gently carry this question with care and trust as you fall asleep.

It is being heard right now.

You're falling asleep with a desire in your heart for the truth about this question.

Fall asleep with that desire and you will wake up with it.

And this desire will carry throughout the day.

Without any special effort,

It will be there more throughout your day.

If any other thoughts come in,

Just let them go by and keep returning to this one question in your heart.

Feel the feeling in your heart and your mind gently focused.

Feeling your trusting and let it gently take you into your sleep.
