This is helpful, thank you for replying to me. I love the idea of turning my bedroom into a sleeping shrine. What about if you have cats that like to sleep in your room! The truth is that they wake me up regularly but I also feel more connected to the universe with them there, if that makes sense. Their energy & purrs help me to relax …. Though it does disrupt my actual sleep!

I will add more (there’s so much more!) once I address any questions you might have on these initial steps. Please feel free to ask :)

So, as initially posted, and more… …Creating sacred sleep: 1. Your bedroom can be viewed as a temple, a sacred space that like a temple, invites quiet reflection, peaceful activity, and calm activity like light yoga stretching, tai chi/qi gong or meditation/prayer. 2. Create an altar containing spiritual reminders-pix of your spiritual teacher, guru, or guide; special gemstones, nature items etc-whatever brings/reminds you that there is a larger picture, space that holds all things. 3. Set “bedtime” earlier than usual to incorporate meditation, prayer, quiet meditative movement 4. End screen time before entering your sacred sleep “temple” (if you use your smartphone as an alarm, set it, then put it in a draw or out of sight, but within hearing distance so that you will hear it in the morning).

I do have an extended process for inviting Sacred Sleep. This isn’t about improving your sleep issues per se, but many people find it goes hand in hand with good sleep, without effortlessly.

Sorry it’s taken so long to respond-I’ve been offline for a bit.

I thought you’d never ask :)
