Received an inquiry
recently from someone who has been having trouble sleeping for a while now who
asked for some affirmations that would help with sleep. My response to that
person is included in the following.
Breathing in such a way
as to relax your body can be very beneficial. Actually, the practice of deep
abdominal breathing—with rhythm--is essential in my opinion. Relaxation Breath: Take a deep breath,
slowing pulling the air down into the lower portion of your diaphragm. You
should notice your abdomen expanding.
Then slowly release the air out through the mouth. In through the nose, out through the
mouth. It will be helpful to silently
repeat the word relax in your mind, dividing it into syllables--one syllable on
the inhale and one syllable when you exhale.
Do this several times. Then you
might say silently to yourself as you continue to deep breathe: “With every breath I take, I am becoming more
and more relaxed, more and more relaxed." Also helpful might be this Calming & Grounding Breath: Exhale to the count of 6. Hold to
the count of 6. Inhale to the count of 4.
Do not hold, but begin exhaling to the count of 6 immediately.
Talking to yourself using your name and the pronoun "you" is most beneficial. The following is spoken to yourself silently. It doesn't have to be exact. You'll get better over time if you practice this. Relaxation Technique: “Begin to wind down now, to let go, and release all tensions from your body and mind. Quiet mind, quiet mind. Just let your muscles relax, unwind, and let go. Letting go now. Re-lax, at ease. The tensions are beginning to drain from your body and your mind. Soon a gradual heaviness will begin to weigh down your thighs, your arms, your hands, your feet, your legs, your body. Your muscles unwind and let go. All your muscles are relaxing, unwinding and relaxing. Very soon now, you will feel the unwinding, the letting go. Breathing easily and deeply now, easily and deeply. Unwinding and letting go. Re-lax. At ease. Unwinding, letting go. Peace calm, calm peace. Unwinding, letting go. Letting go now. Unwinding and letting go. The tensions drain from your muscles, and they will soon become loose. Letting go now. Relaxing and unwinding. Any noises are drifting into the background. You are feeling the relaxing, the letting go, the unwinding. At ease. Breathing easily and deeply now, easily and deeply. Unwinding and letting go. Drifting into the peace and serenity of deep relaxation. Peace. And as your body and mind unwind and relax, you enter the peace and quiet. Peace and quiet. Letting go, unwinding, letting go, unwinding. Relax, relax, relax. Let go, let go, let go. Relax, relax, relax. Let go, let go, let go. Now.” Some people make a recording to play once or over and over. Depending on the circumstances, it can relax one deeply or even put one to sleep.
I would suggest prayers rather than
decrees/affirmations--or at least prayers as the priority. I'll provide some
examples here. The intro we suggest for you is: "I Am
[your name]. I Am That I Am. Attention Divine Support Team! [Next phrase is optional.] In the name of
Christ and under the law of grace (optional], I [your name] Decree I Am
calling forth, asking for, commanding, and giving thanks
for_________--throughout space-time--throughout time-space—Now.” The blank can
be filled in with “the removal of any and all barriers to my body
experiencing quality and quantity sleep time” and/or “my
protection from negative experiences and hostile powers and forces while
my body sleeps” and/or “the terminating and eliminating of any and all
interferences with my body's sleep cycle that are negative in nature.” [Note: I add "on a full and permanent
basis before now” almost always, but we're dealing with a sleep issue here,
which is a little different.] It is good
to remember that there may be positive reasons for less sleep that are causing
some temporary disruptions and discomforts.
Now for
affirmations/decrees (which are also a form of prayer)--spoken loudly and
powerfully (not with anger or when upset)--with strong intent--not from the
solar plexus--but the higher feeling body--higher chakras: "I Am [your
name]. I Am That I Am. I [your name] Decree I Am sleeping deeply and resting well this
night, awakening about [insert time]--throughout space-time--throughout
time-space--Now! [Note: I add "on a full and permanent basis before
now almost always, but we're dealing with a sleep issue here, which is a little
different
Intent is very
important. You can state your intent
before going to sleep, such as, “I intend to easily and effortlessly move into
deep sleep and awaken refreshed and renewed at about [insert time].” Have you ever gone to sleep after stating
your intent to awaken at a specific time? If not, try it. Try it several times
over time. As with everything, any
practice works better some times rather than other times.
You can instruct your
body to sleep, of course, referring it as "my body" and using the
pronoun "you." Sometimes it is about one’s subpersonalities (which
99% of us living as human have). You can speak softly and gently to them
and explain why sleep is important. You can ask them if they know of any reason
the body isn't sleeping as much as preferred and then be quiet and listen.
Also, remember the usual--no caffeine two or three hours before you intend to go to sleep. I was awakening often during the night over several weeks until I started making myself stay awake until 10 p.m. most nights. Now I sleep deeper and awaken less often.
Remember these three
words when using the methods described: consistently and persistently and
habitually. If you have any questions, we the Angel-Light Team are available
