As I close my eyes I let the day pass away – but not before I let some final thoughts sink into my subconscious. These are precious thoughts – the most important thoughts of the day. For as I sleep, as my brain waves slow down to theta and delta, this is the moment when the door to my unconscious slips open. This is the moment when thoughts slip through unchecked and my subconscious can work on it all night. So I make sure my final thoughts are special thoughts – of gratitude for something special that has happened that day, and affirmations – reminding myself of who I truly am. This is pushing the reset button before I sleep. For I know that the last 5 minutes before I sleep are the most important 5 minutes. This is when mind programming takes place – for better or worse – depending on the thoughts. And the program your subconscious runs affects your whole life.
I first encountered this idea – of the last 5 minutes before sleep – when reading the work of Dr Wayne Dyer, and it has stayed with me ever since.
So before I sleep tonight, allow me to share something with you – the key to it all is awareness – not effort or strain – simply, awareness. It takes practice but with enough time you can get there.
We already talked about meditation. But it doesn’t stop there. It starts there.
Make the last 5 minutes before you sleep count and you will be rewarded.
Remember – this is for you and you alone. Don’t sabotage your efforts by trying to explain or justify to someone else. They will never understand until they come to it of their own accord – if it’s their wish. Your life journey is your own business and no one else’s.
I found this incredible music on YouTube and I wanted to share it with you. See the link below. As a musician myself it resonated so much with me. I like to have something like this in my head before I sleep and just let the world drift away.
There is another life you know, without all this madness. You don’t need to travel far to find it. It’s all right within your grasp. You just got to look for it..
