INSPIRING SLEEP

One of the main natural instincts inherent in all living beings, besides finding nutrition and procreation, is to protect their dwelling-place and especially their place for sleeping. Regarding us human-beings the home and above all the bedstead are the places, where we can find rest physically, emotionally and mentally and recuperate from the daily demands put upon us by the world and society.
In most human beings however this instinct has become greatly distorted. Because their way of creating a secure home is to build huge houses and furnish them expensively, install alarm systems, looking and shuttering up doors and windows against possible intruders, fencing of their properties for the same reason. But all these things are not giving them the sought-after inner peace nor offering the ideal circumstances for the required rest. Many people, and possibly those living in luxury even more so, are suffering from sleeplessness, restless sleep and a number of other stress-related nervous symptoms.
Although favourable exterior circumstances of living can offer a good foundation regarding the quantity and quality of rest and personal peace you can find in your home and especially your place of sleeping, the decisive factor is the kind of subtle energy you are filling them with.
Everything is energy. There are certain things which carry and create a positive effect and others that are portents of negativity.
Therefore, it is really important that you are consciously taking care of with what kind of energy you are filling and surrounding yourself with. Of course, ideally your entire home and life upon all levels should be kept clean, tidy and filled with positivity and love. But one cannot start everything at once and so in the following I am going to enlarge on the aspect of sleeping place because this is where you are recharging your personal "batteries" for daily existence. Thus it can be seen as the basis for all other aspects of personal life.
How can you expect to find peace and rest at night if you are reading tension-loaded literature in bed? What you are reading about is triggering a corresponding emotions, thoughts, sensations in your own Self so both thrillers and love-dramas are equally unsuitable literature for bed. Not to speak of news-papers and glossy (gossip-) magazines. And the same, of course, goes for watching TV in bed or listening to the radio and music (expecting classical music in key Major, devotional music and Mantras). Carrying out rows with your partner and telephone conversations in bed or even in your bedroom can prove equally disturbing to your nightly rest. Also to use to space beneath your bed to store things is not advisable. The least peace-disturbing are clean and neatly-folded items of laundry. But even those are portents of past-related memories and thus not really very positive for finding restoring nightly rest lying above top of them.
Ideally, your bedroom and bed ought to be kept clean and tidy and dedicated to God and His Beings of Light and their beneficent, restoring energy of light and love. Items of a talismanic nature to enhance your awareness of beauty, peace and love can be helpful. Furthermore, to find positive sleep your bed-time reading should be of a spiritual, mystical or religious nature which has an ennobling or inspiring effect on your mind. In this way your nightly time of rest is a period of calm serenity and you might even find glimpses of wise insights regarding the nature of life or your own Self in your dreams or upon waking up.

Of course, there are also the modern-age inventions like WLAN stations, mobile-phone arials etc., historical influences and geographical factors to be considered in the question of how ideal your sleeping situation is. However, these aspects are often beyond ones sphere of influence. And although their negative effects upon the life nearby are an actual reality you can still make yourself immune to them if you are master over your mind and know how to protect yourself against them by talismanic routines of thought, prayer and actions.

ALWAYS A WAY

There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
