People really want their sleep ...

Who could blame them? When I’ve experienced bouts of sleeplessness, it hasn’t been pretty. I’m a bear. Plus, it makes me manic and those around me aren’t all that happy about it either.

Sleep is so fundamental to health. It effects brain function, cognitive ability, even your weight.

In my ongoing quest to examine fear and prove that it’s really just an illusion that stops so many gifted and talented women from pursuing their life’s purpose and passion, I’ve distilled a few necessary steps down into a formula that I’ve found works. The following is an excerpt from Money, and the Law of Attraction by Abraham-Hicks and is a technique I use that in fact, works like a charm.

Sleep Time is Realignment-of-Energies Time

While you are sleeping – or during the time that you are not consciously focused through your physical body – the attraction to this physical body stops. Sleep is a time when your Inner Being can realign your Energies, and it is a time for refreshment and replenishment of your physical body. If, when you put yourself in your bed, you will say, Tonight I will rest well – I know that all attraction to this body will stop and when I awaken in the morning, I will literally reemerge back into my physical experience, you will receive the greatest benefit from your time of sleep.

Awakening in the morning is not so different from being born. It is not so different from the day you first emerged into your physical body. So, as you awaken, open your eyes and say, Today, I will look for reasons to feel good. Nothing is more important than that I feel good. Nothing is more important than that I choose thoughts that attract other thoughts that attract other thoughts that raise my vibrational frequency to the place where I can resonate with the positive aspects of the Universe.

Your vibration is right where you last left it. So if you lie in your bed worrying about a situation before you go to sleep, when you awaken, you will pick up right where your thoughts or vibration left off the night before, and then your thoughts for the day will get off on that negative footing. And then the Law of Attraction will continue to serve up for you other thoughts that are like those thoughts. But if you will make an effort as you go to sleep to identify some of the positive aspects of your life, and then deliberately release your thoughts as you remember that during your slumber you are going to detach and refresh, and then if, when you awaken, you will open your eyes and say, Today, I will look for reasons to feel good…you will begin to gain control of your thoughts and life.

Rather than worrying about the problems of the world, or thinking about the things that you have to do today, just lie in your bed and look for the positive aspects of the moment: How wonderful this bed feels. How comforting the fabric feels. How good my body feels. How comfortable this pillow is. How refreshing the air is that I’m breathing. How good it is to be alive!… You will have begun to put on that positive, good-feeling rope.

The Law of Attraction is like a giant magnifying glass amplifying whatever is. And so, as you awaken and look for some reason (something very immediate to you) to feel good about, the Law of Attraction will then offer you another thought that feels like it, and then another, and then another – and that is really what we call getting out of bed on the right foot.

With a little bit of effort, and a desire to feel good, you can direct your thoughts to more and more pleasing scenarios until you will change your habits of thought as well as your point of attraction – and the evidence of your improvement in thoughts will begin to show up right away.

Trust me, this really works and it’s so simple!

Personally, I’d rather do this than take an antidepressant.
