Night Practice 4 – Falling Asleep

Now it’s time to roll over and fall asleep. If you have a symbol of the manifestation practice by the bedside (optional) look at it as you turn off the light/close your eyes for the last time. Internally place it in your body, that way you are carrying in its astral counterpart. If you are imagining being in a temple or magick circle or different location, briefly be aware of the projected world in cubic reality, then take up which ever position you usually sleep in, and begin the SATS sequence.

One idea is to incorporate images from a chanting practice or vision board into the manifestation sequences. So if one of your sequences is in a room, you can imagine pictures of your goals on the walls. If you overlaid text on any of the images, you could put that text onto characters teeshirts. You could also place the central manifestation symbol, an enso or whatever you have chosen, with the image, as a statue or on the wall or a piece of jewellery someone is wearing. Your mind will understand the symbolism and the light will happily receive it as you cross over into the next reality.

Another technique is to make use of hypnogogia. As you fall asleep, focus your physical vision on the blackness of your closed eyelids. As you become more relaxed you will see various lights and flashes and swirling mists. It’s a bit like looking up into black space and seeing this subtle inner light display. Project the manifestation-loop sequence out into a cubic reality of the blackness amid the lights and swirls and mists. If you keep doing this, as you become more relaxed, often the lights and shapes will start to interact with the projected imagination and you will start to actually see visions as if your eyes were open. It’s possible to fall directly into a lucid dream like this, which has happened to me. If it happens to you, try and create the manifestation sequence and affirm it has already manifested.

If you practice the yoga nidra sequence I taught elsewhere, you can hold the enso (or whatever you are using) in your heart centre, and use it to shoot a ray to each of the rotating body locations, which should transition into sleep fairly easy and the felt enso at your heart will take the intention into the next world.

If you are not doing that, you can try a practice of simple surrender and just hold an image of the enso (or whatever central symbol you are using) in your chest and fall asleep with a high mood and mantra of ‘Isn’t it wonderful’ or ‘This is awesome!’. Rather than the mental sequence being very specific, a very simple one is simply yourself jumping up and down in joy that EVERYTHING has manifested, and you just leave it in trust to your higher self to work out the details.

If you wake up in the night to use the toilet or for whatever reason, then these simplified versions are good reinforcements to fall back to sleep to.

As I said, despite all this instruction, it should be fun, light-hearted and never let it keep you awake. The main, central thing is to fall asleep in an optimistic, high mood that every beautiful thing has come to pass. If you can do this every night, you will have everything.
