Everything is better with sleep.
Through all my spiritual practices, the most important is sleep.
Yes, I totally see sleep as a spiritual practice!
And I'm talking good sleep. I mean really good sleep.
If I don't get my sleep,
all my other spiritual practices go out the window.
The foundation for a healthy, empowered, spiritual life is
GOOD F'N SLEEP!
There are numerous ways to create good sleep.
One practice that really helps me is a calming routine
before going to bed.

When you are about 20 minutes out from heading to sleep, go into the bedroom.
1 - Light some incense or sage.
2 - Light a candle and say, "Thank you for this beautiful day. Thank you for the sleep that will restore my soul tonight."
3 - Make the bedroom comfortable, fluff your pillows, turn down the covers. Play some light meditative music if you'd like. Close the door.
4 - Now – go get ready for bed.
5 - When you re-enter the room, take a deep breath. It should be very calming with the candle, incense, and music. You are wooing yourself to sleep.
6 - Sometimes I take a moment, sit on the bed and rub shea butter or some kind of smelling good (lavender is good) lotion onto my feet. I give myself a foot massage and say, “Thank you feet for getting me where I need to go. I appreciate you.”
7 - Recite 3 things you are grateful for. (Practice gratitude.) Blow out the candle.
8 - Take a few deep breaths, clear your head.
9 - Crawl into your comfy covers and let it all go.
Sleep deeply and peacefully.
Wake up feeling refreshed and energized!

Are you facing a huge transition in your life?
Are you ready to release your obstacles and step forward into the life of your choosing?
Are you kind of lost as to where to even begin?
Peace, Inspiration, & Love,
