4 Things to Do for a Good Night’s Sleep
Sleep is crucial for your good health. Sleep brings self-care. It repairs and restores your body.
4 THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
Schedule a healing bodywork session weekly.
I prefer reflexology or Reiki. There are hundreds of different modalities to choose from. If a weekly session is beyond your budget, learn Reiki. Then, you can offer a session to yourself weekly OR you can do regular exchanges with another Reiki practitioner.
Explore and sample herbs and teas.
Cut back on coffee or caffeinated drinks in the afternoons. Substitute decaffeinated beverages. There are so many options that you’ll be able to spend several weeks sampling different teas and drinks. Enjoy!
Create a happy and peaceful place for sleep.
During the coming week, do everything you can to create a quiet and cozy atmosphere. Your goal is a minimal decor with dim lighting, subdued colors and a comfortable bed with soft sheets and blankets. Relocate anything which induces irritability. This includes computers, televisions, and anything that generates electromagnetic fields and positive ions.
Stretch Yourself to Sleep + a Snack
About 30 or so minutes before you go to sleep, focus on unwinding and relaxing tensions. Prepare yourself to sleep:
Breathe deeply and rotate your head gently from side to side.
Slowly raise your arms above your head and stretch them to the sky.
Rotate your spine in different directions while gently moving your head and arms in opposing directions.
Give yourself a few extra minutes to relax.
Have a cup of yogurt for a snooze snack.

Your Sleep as a Spiritual and Healing Event

For all that’s written and spoken about sleep, we all know on some level that sleep is a complex, spiritual event necessary to maintain our health and keep the body and soul together.
I was recently quite ill with a “sinus infection of global proportions” as described to me by a healing friend. My first tip off was when I decided on a Wednesday afternoon that I suddenly needed to rest. Fortunately, I followed my body’s demands and crawled in bed. I promptly went to sleep and woke up on Sunday morning.
On Sunday morning, I was quite tired but felt better. I drank a lot of water, ate fresh fruit, and made it to the doctor’s office on Monday to find out what my problem was. Within a couple of hours, I had had enough blood tests, x-rays, and other scans to learn that I not only had the enormous sinus infection but I also had pneumonia.
I also had a physician who was angry at me, a daughter nurse who was angry at me, and several other medical professionals who were angry.
I doubt if I’ll have this experience repeat itself again. And, I’m certain that this sleep, while highly therapeutic, may have needed some breaks for hydration, etc.
Nevertheless, I’m also convinced that, on some level, the sleep helped my situation.
I was fortunate because I fell asleep without trouble. Sleep is not always available to people who are ill or suffering with troubled health for whatever reason.
And, sometimes people are ill and need nothing more than a good night’s sleep to make things better. So, encouraging a good night’s sleep on a regular basis is a good thing. Sleep, experienced regularly, is important for wellness and good health in general.
What provision do you make for a regular sleep schedule which includes enough sleep every night? Are you able to include enough hours to offer therapy to your self and lifestyle?
Is your pillow adequate for the job?
Truthfully, I’ve blogged many times and will blog many times more about all the things a person can do to get enough sleep. Keep after your sleep until you are able to support your physical, mental, and spiritual health.
The first step involves honoring your self and your need to sleep well in order to live well.
