Presents the act of sleeping as a spiritual retreat to find answers to your most intimate and complex questions
The demands of daily life drain our energy and ability to set meaningful intentions. The crucial act of sleeping has become an automatic routine: at the end of the day you fall exhausted into bed, without giving it any thought. Our cultural programming makes us feel that sharing a bed is not only desirable but normal. It is a sign of love and care for partners, children, and others. Breaking free of this routine and claiming a night for yourself is a sublime act to recover your energy and power, to reconnect with yourself, and to re-inhabit your body without the influence of external vibrations.
In this book, Cynthia offers women of all ages and relationship statuses practical and accessible rituals for sleeping alone. Discover the biology of your sleeping body and learn sacred mantras to enhance lucid dreaming and calm your mind. Reclaim the privacy that sleep allows to rediscover your intuition and foster a holistic renewal of the self. The author shows how to take ownership of your nightly rest and transform it into a sacred retreat that accelerates your spiritual evolution. She shares that, when women sleep alone, the electromagnetic field of the hearts intelligence expands, energy centers balance, and your visions become clear and beautiful, reinforcing the power of your feminine intuition.
This book describes how the world of dreams will unfold to reveal that you are the most important person in your lifes journey: a woman, a goddess, the sovereign of your bed and your life.
