10 Revelations about Falling Asleep

People often wonder why they may periodically nod off or abrupty fall asleep.  More than one perspective exists.  Your paradigm shapes how and what you experience. Consider these 10 revelations:

1.   Physical fatigue is upon you

Many people assume this simply occurs due to physical over-exertion.  Pregnant mothers also nod off as their body is working to recalibrate and rebalance growth of new life. Physical reasons for fatigue point to additional reasons.

2.  Emotional overload hits a threshold

Certain situations may be hard to accept. Resistance can kick in, prevent us from overwhelm or blowing circuits.

3.  Spiritual apathy stands out

Disconnection from one's higher self, or a period of introspection and renewal is ongoing.  In this case, the conscious mind is quieted to access deeper awareness.

4. Parallel relatities are the new focus

One need not be actively engaged in yoga practice to connect with other worlds or the divine. The soul has differtent ways of shwoing us our being is simultaneously working in other dimensions for its growth. 

5.  Energy is moving differently through the body

We have potential to exert mental, physical and other energies. When we do not expend these energies, they build up. Imbalances occur and must be integrated or released.

6.  Healing is occurring durring sleep

You might be rapidly ascending in your journey which is taking a toll on the physical body. It’s normal to experience a lot of fatigue and exhaustion from all the healing underway!   Knowing your window of tolerance implies you do not push your physical body just because your mind thinks you should heal faster.

7.  This reveals you deepen sleep

You may doze off at night or during the day while meditating, listening to binaural beats, solfeggio frequencies or other spiritual music. This kind of quick nap helps you refresh, rechage, process old thoughts and creates space for clarity in the conscious state. The analogy is like a computer defrag.

8. Deep changes are ongoing

Affirmations don’t always change our conditions. he mental plane isn’t the only place where our limiting beliefs are stored. Our conditions do not simply change if we think “positive thoughts.” 

9. This is a way to process suffering

Pain is physical and suffereing is mental. Our pain is also stored in the physical body because when a tragic event happens, it was too much for us to process. We never really let the energy pass through due to intensity. And rarely were we taught how to explore these uncomfortable feelings and sensations.  For survival brain, the brain can decide to store the pain away (in the form of energy memor or sensation in the body)  to cope. And not only did our system store away unresolved energy it also created takeaways from the event.

10. State of mind is shifting to state of being

As we shift from belief-based existence to awareness, we shift from living from our logical, conditioned mind to feeling our way through experiences with our heart.  Nodding off can be a way for the physical body to digest and integrate energies as part of our evolution.

Stop postponing the inevitable

Notice as consciousness expands, the moment arises when it feels right to stop postponing what evokes discomfort. Allow yourself to feel deeply and do the things you resist. Show yourself directly that underlying fear is unfounded.

Patience is alert, conscious. Postponement is subconscious resistance, a double-bind: you want to act and yet, you hesitate, tell yourself you not ready. The mind is very clever. You want to meditate, to close a chapter in your life, leave a job, move, but a voice within says, “later, tomorrow, when X happens.” We make time for priorities. Now is the right time. The future is uncertain. If you really want, act. Why not? If you postpone sharing your feelings and affection with people due to fear of rejection, or lack of reciprocity, this lso has consequences.

Is fear reinforced or strengthened by postponing something? When something is pivotal, and your desire is intense, then you will not waste a single moment. You will postpone everything else, but you do that. You postpone only that which is not significant, or, you allow fear control you. One part of mind says, “Yes, it is important.” Another part of mind says, “Yes, it is important, but later.” What is really going on here? How do we give power away? How do we reclaim it?

Consider what you postpone and what you prioritize. How you spend money, mental and physical energy, time, speaks volumes. Spiritual practices are often postponed in favor of that which enriches the body, materialism, appearances. Anger, greed, hatred, negativity tend to flow quickly. Outbursts happen. You may say, “I’m coming!” and yet doddle or not show up at all. Ask where you show up for yourself. When insults come, many people do not say, “Tomorrow I will be angry;” Yet, gestures of self- love or finding peace within are often postponed.

In a nutshell, postponement points to how we are dishonest with ourselves. Watch inside yourself, at what you have been postponing, and you will find that all that is beautiful you have been postponing. Note water flows when it is allowed to flow freely. Seeds will sprout in season, but the seeds must be sown. Otherwise they will not sprout. Which seeds do you hesitate to plant in your own life? Or, what follow-up behaviour is required to blossom into more of your true being?

See what is really here

Notice our third eye is a most powerful source of insight. To see with the third eye is to see beyond the dualities of existence, to see things as they really are, beyond conditioned fear and judgment. This is about universal love and acceptance. Come what may, we perceive what is aligned with our vibration, what we allow into our scope of reality. We each have potential to create peace within ourselves. If our sense of peace is based on the external, such as someone else's behaviour, or a specific outcome, we can never be at peace. That is giving our power away. We may focus on a specific state regardless of what unfolds around us. As dormant systems activate, we see more of what is here.

Listen to wake up calls

Notice what it is to remember and embody the power of spiritual mysteries. Seeing from/ into varied perspectives alters what enters scope of awareness. The purification process elicits wake up calls. People we encounter always set us up to feel exactly how they feel. The unconscious is triggered unless we make it conscious, heal, outgrow it. The key is to shift to see from awareness behind it.

So, to resolve a conflict in your life, identify how you feel in the moment, realize this feeling is energetically self-created, and devise a solution based on those specific emotions. With awareness, we are empowered to change our response. Maturity happens as we encounter the same situation yet respond differently, in love and acceptance of self and understanding of the interconnectedness of all.

Consider a child or adult throwing a tantrum feels powerlessness or anger. Intense energy is hard to ignore. The point is we must feel, and respond in love to truly shift energy. Every relationship conflict arises to teach us something about ourselves.

Surrender to the breath

Notice what it is to surrender to the breath. This requires courage During meditation, you focus on the breath to confront yourself with your problems again and again in the mind until you finally understand the absolute need to let go. Mindfulness aligns our priorities and behaviour in business, community and relationships. Unconscious choices keep us striving, experiencing lack of success, lack of acceptance restlessness and discomfort.  Being in harmony with yourself is about getting into harmony with universal laws.  This makes all the difference in having dominion over life and what you make of it.
