10 Revelations about Falling Asleep

People often wonder why they may periodically nod off or abrupty fall asleep.  More than one perspective exists.  Your paradigm shapes how and what you experience. Consider these 10 revelations:

1.   Physical fatigue is upon you

Many people assume this simply occurs due to physical over-exertion.  Pregnant mothers also nod off as their body is working to recalibrate and rebalance growth of new life. Physical reasons for fatigue point to additional reasons.

2.  Emotional overload hits a threshold

Certain situations may be hard to accept. Resistance can kick in, prevent us from overwhelm or blowing circuits.

3.  Spiritual apathy stands out

Disconnection from one's higher self, or a period of introspection and renewal is ongoing.  In this case, the conscious mind is quieted to access deeper awareness.

4. Parallel relatities are the new focus

One need not be actively engaged in yoga practice to connect with other worlds or the divine. The soul has differtent ways of shwoing us our being is simultaneously working in other dimensions for its growth. 

5.  Energy is moving differently through the body

We have potential to exert mental, physical and other energies. When we do not expend these energies, they build up. Imbalances occur and must be integrated or released.

6.  Healing is occurring durring sleep

You might be rapidly ascending in your journey which is taking a toll on the physical body. It’s normal to experience a lot of fatigue and exhaustion from all the healing underway!   Knowing your window of tolerance implies you do not push your physical body just because your mind thinks you should heal faster.

7.  This reveals you deepen sleep

You may doze off at night or during the day while meditating, listening to binaural beats, solfeggio frequencies or other spiritual music. This kind of quick nap helps you refresh, rechage, process old thoughts and creates space for clarity in the conscious state. The analogy is like a computer defrag.

8. Deep changes are ongoing

Affirmations don’t always change our conditions. he mental plane isn’t the only place where our limiting beliefs are stored. Our conditions do not simply change if we think “positive thoughts.” 

9. This is a way to process suffering

Pain is physical and suffereing is mental. Our pain is also stored in the physical body because when a tragic event happens, it was too much for us to process. We never really let the energy pass through due to intensity. And rarely were we taught how to explore these uncomfortable feelings and sensations.  For survival brain, the brain can decide to store the pain away (in the form of energy memor or sensation in the body)  to cope. And not only did our system store away unresolved energy it also created takeaways from the event.

10. State of mind is shifting to state of being

As we shift from belief-based existence to awareness, we shift from living from our logical, conditioned mind to feeling our way through experiences with our heart.  Nodding off can be a way for the physical body to digest and integrate energies as part of our evolution.

Be the quantum reality

Notice the moment arises when everything you have ever seen registers in a completely new way. It suddenly dawns that it was all guiding you here, to this focus here, to what may seem to manifest as new conditions, opportunities, a fresh start, a different mindset. Come what may, perceived change is simply an external recalibration of energy we detect as we tune into as inner harmony. Experiences of things can change. Be the quantum leap. The one unified reality is unchanging, patiently waiting for us to catch up. Who is willing to take this journey more consciously?

Dream Analysis of the Week- Shower of Change

Dream:

I ws in the shower.  I did not physically ressembe my current appearance. I had short black hair and I was a cartoon character. As the water came down on my body, the colour was washed off and there was nothing left. 

 

Insight:

This may be viewed as a shapeshifting dream.  It is a reminder of what Shakespeare reminds us: "All the world's a stage and men and women are only players."

Water dreams or falling water echo we are healing from the past, and optimistic about things. It also refers to purifying ourselves physically and spiritually to preparing for new realities where we realize a different state of mind and being.  If showering or bathing evokes unsettled thoughts or feeling "dirty", something deeper may need to be addressed. These generally include emotionally distressing or stressful situations that arise for acceptance and healing.

To dream that our life or body is a cartoon implies we don't take life too seriously or would be better off if we found ways to lighten up.. This could mean we would benefit from growing aware of a stressful habits or thinking patterns.  Consider it a possible wake up call to reframe our life, to remind us we can always shift perspective.  We can always erase a version of ourselves through integrating lessons and/or letting go of what we outgrow.

When rewriting (or rescripting) our dreams, we are growing more conscious of who we are and our true power.  This is a way to actively approach the storyboard of our soul journey. That is, we close our eyes and run through the images in our mind, and then rewind the image and rewrite it – rewrite the story, in whatever way we choose. In essence, we are taking charge of the image on our own terms.  At any given moment, we realize we decide how we wish to feel and where we will allow energy to flow.  When focused, every thought and feeling can be harsessed and redirected consciously. 

5 Pointers to a satisfying relationship

Creating a good (reciprical) relationship implies learning how to interact with your partner in ways that promote and enhance honest communication while allowing for trust and vulnerability. Becoming skillful at relationships requires both your own inner work and external work (on your partnership).  Consider 5 pointers to nourish a satisfying relationship:

Unconditional Love & Compassion: How to have a satisfying relationship? Some say its key to always put your partner first. Yet, you cannot ignore yourself. Focus on what you are giving and how you are caring in balance with what you are receiving.  Express your needs in a way your partner can understand. If s/he does not get it, this may not be the right person for you.

Absolute Courage and Vulnerability: Love no matter what and commit to absolute truth. Treat someone else as you would have done unto you or treat your partner better to raise the bar on how you would like to be treated. The power of compliments, kind gestures and expressing love is often underestimated. Yet, if this baffles or overwhelms your partner, you may not see eye -to-eye and the relationship may drain rather than energize you.

Know the Truth: This is not about blaming. The key to extraordinary relationships is to know your partner’s soul and never make them wrong. Understand their needs, past hurts, behaviours and patterns. If it resonates, do what you can to satisfy their needs.  Yet, being a good partner in a relationship is also about feeling complete unto yourself without the other person. Know that you cannot satisfy each other's voids, only enrich each other.

Be Honest with yourself: Get conscious and commit to moment-to-moment awareness. Your state, body language, words and actions have a direct and potentially lasting impact on your relationship.

Giving Freedom: The power of forgiving, forgetting is profound. There is a saying: if you give a bird freedom and he comes back, he is yours. If the bird never comes back, he was never yours.  This is not about possession but rather about free will.  Create a safe space for your partner to make honest mistakes and make them feel that they can take comfort in a secure relationship. You cannot force anything. Satisfying relationships arise from giving partners the freedom to value you as you are or move on without imposing guitlt or coersion. 

Dream Analysis of the Week- Etheric dream

Dreams: 

The aroma of Palo Santo stood out.  Smoke danced upward in a spiral.  Had an imprint of a blue purple haze or cloud.  The shade changed.

 Insight:

When a dream is directly linked to physiology, such as a present injury or ailment like arthritis, then its a physical body dream. This is grounded in time and space.

Yet, this dream concerns the etheric body (second body). Etheric dreams evoke confusion in Western psychology. Freud misunderstood etheric dreams for dreams caused by suppressed desires.  Dreams caused by suppressed desires exist, but they belong to the physical body, (first body). If you have suppressed physical desires, if you have fasted for instance, then you may dream of food (breakfast). Or, if you have suppressed sex, then sexual dream fantasies can arise. These dreams belong to the first body. The etheric body is left out of psychological investigation, so its dreams are interpreted as belonging to the first body, the physical. 

In truth, the etheric body can travel in dreams. There is every possibility of it leaving your body. As you recall this, it is remembered as a dream, but it is not a dream in the same sense as the dreams of the physical body. The etheric body can go out of you when you are asleep. Your physical body will be there, but your etheric body can go out and travel in space. There is no space limiting it; there is no question of distance for it. Those who do not understand this, who do not recognize the existence of the etheric body, may interpret this as the realm of the unconscious. They divide man’s mind into conscious and unconscious. Then physiological dreaming is called “conscious” and etheric dreaming is called “unconscious.” It is not unconscious. It is as conscious as physiological dreaming, but conscious on another level. If you become conscious of your etheric body, the dreaming concerned with that realm becomes conscious.

Just as physiological dreams can be created from the outside, so too can etheric dreams be created, stimulated. A mantra is one of the methods to create etheric visions, etheric dreams. A particular mantra or a particular nada – a particular word, sounding repeatedly in the etheric center – can create etheric dreams. There are so many methods. Sound is one of them.  Smells are another.  For instance, the warm and soothing scent of Paol Santo has been used for eons in religious rituals and ceremonies. The Incas, indigenous people of the Andes, shamans and healers, have long used it for its metaphysical properties of purification and cleansing of the soul.

Colors also be of help. If you have ever dreamed of a particular shade or colour, you may find seeing this colour again, meditating on it even may create etheric dreams in others as well.  It is said certain colours stimulate etheric body dreaming.

So when someone goes deep in meditation and sees colors, and experiences perfumes and sounds and music absolutely unknown, these too are dreams, dreams of the etheric body. So-called spiritual visions belong to the etheric body; they are etheric dreams. Gurus revealing themselves before their disciples is nothing but etheric travel, etheric dreaming. But because we have only searched the mind at one level of existence, the physiological, these dreams have either been interpreted in physiological langugae or discarded, neglected, or, put into the unconscious.

To say that anything is part of the unconscious is really just to admit that we do not know anything about it. It is a technicality, a trick. Nothing is unconscious, but everything that is conscious on a deeper level is unconscious on the previous level. So for the physical, the etheric is unconscious; for the etheric, the astral is unconscious; for the astral, the mental is unconscious. Conscious means that which is known. Unconscious means that which is still not known, the unknown.

Any type of dream spiral  is a mode of communication to the physical world. In short, its the way in which our 3D world reflects the spiritual plane.  As we grow and evolve as a soul, we climb the metaphorical spiral path of understanding.  So, to dream of a spiral, is to come to identify more with the univese or Christ consciousness.
