Several years back, I found that I was having trouble sleeping.Ā My gynecologist said it was probably something to do with menopause. My therapist encouraged me to do visualization before bed. Everyone had a theory.
What I finally did was to make this card….
Who are you? I am the one who sleeps deeply and easily.Ā I am the one who sleeps like a rock.Ā I am the one who lets go of the day and allows sleep to claim me every night.Ā I am the one who willingly closes my eyes at night and gives in to the call of my inner dream world.Ā I am the one who rests and nourishes my body with sleep.
What do you have to give me? I give you daily rest.Ā I give you the ability to let go of the day’s journey.Ā I give you dreams and deep physical peace.
What do you want from me? I want you to stop resisting sleep.Ā I want you to allow yourself enough rest every night.Ā I want you to know you won’t miss anything as you sleep.Ā I want you to know you will be safe as you sleep.
This card has also suggested to me, via a Daily Reading, that I use the card and a candle in a nightly ritual, along with my journal, before getting in to the bed to go to sleep.Ā When I remembered and allowed myself to do this, it seemed to put closure on my day for me and allowed me to fall asleep faster, without all the usual inner “chatter.”
