How To Access Your Divine Feminine For Better Sleep

BY LYN BRYST, C.S.C.C.

You wake up with your alarm—but you don’t “get up” until you absolutely have to. You’re lucky if you even have time to plate your breakfast bowl with little versions of what’s inside it on top, more likely eating it regular like some kind of FEMA survivor. From there you’re running on fumes, focusing more on managing your multiple passive income streams than anything resembling self-care. By the end of the day it’s all you can do to pour yourself back into bed. But as tired as you are, sleep doesn’t come. Or if it does it’s low quality, interrupted and unrestorative.

Sound familiar?

It may be that you’re struggling with something I see in so many of my clients: you’re approaching sleep from your masculine energy, rather than your feminine, which is scaring it away.

As we all know, everyone has dual energies: pink/blue, cat/dog, feminine/masculine. But we’re supposed to have them in different amounts depending on whether we’re a boy or girl. Keeping them in balance requires vigilant monitoring, because of just how natural and intuitive this all is.

Here’s where most women struggle: when you try too hard to fall asleep, it sends a signal to sleep itself that you’re trying to take the lead. This doesn’t create the right environment for attraction to form.

What’s more, you’re activating sleep’s commitment wound.

Sleep may seem like a freewheeling bachelor, getting into bed with literally everyone alive, but he’s actually quite available for the right person. He just needs every situational factor to be perfect for this to happen. Once you get further in your shadow work (and light work), you’ll have better tools for managing yourself and subsequently allowing him to show you his best.

Read on for my tips on applying this to your own sleep routine:

3 Steps To Your Best Sleep Yet

1. Add more activity during the day.

When you’re busy, the people or personifications you want can sense it. It makes you more attractive because you’re no longer a pulsating void of need. So start doing more things that get you out of the house: walking, running, and fitness classes are all great options. You’ll be so tired sleep will be the last thing on your mind!

2. Swap out the coffee for water.

This tip is probably also helpful on a medical level, but we’re more interested in the benefits to your skin from cutting out caffeine. After all, when you’re happy it shows from the inside out: help it along by keeping excessively hydrated. Sleep will have no choice but to notice and slide up on your Instagram stories.

3. Set up your room for optimal sleep.

Most people interpret this to mean creating a relaxing space with soft colors and minimal distraction. But because, again, we’re trying to play hard to get here, you’re going to want to remove all vestiges of rest from the bedroom. Consider getting rid of your bed if possible.
