To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
“The vision always precedes the realization”-Lilian Whiting, poet, 1847-1942
Published June 1, 2010 | Tonight, as you lie down to go to sleep,
Imagine:
- a peaceful world
- God’s love keeping you safe tonight
- you are sleepy and your body is ready to rest, heal, and restore itself
- you are yawning happily
- you are stretching in preparation for sleep
- you are drifting, lazily and contentedly above all worldly cares
- there is a smile on your face and in your heart as the cares of the day melt away…
- you are getting closer to that dreamy world, let yourself enter it…
- you are relaxed from head to toes
- you are ready for sleep
Goodnight.

An affirmation for breathing
Published May 1, 2010 | Breath is the gift of life. If we are not breathing we are not living! So every breath we take truly is a gift. As much as we can, let’s be aware of our breathing. If we are getting stressed or hurried, we can just slow our breathing down, breathe deeper into our bellies, and then fully exhale. I like to do this when I am doing mundane things like driving my car or washing the dishes. When I’m waiting in line is a good time as well.
In an earlier post, I referred to one of my favorite books, Louise Hay’s Heal your Body. She describes breath as “the ability to take in life”. The affirmation she prescribes for good breathing is as follows: ” I love life. It is safe to live”.
This is a wonderful affirmation to try anytime during our day including times at night when we want to sleep.
Let’s try it. Breathe in deeply: “I love life. It is safe to live”. Breathe out. Repeat
Other simple affirmations that really work for me are ” I am safe”, “I am love”, “God loves me”, “I am enough”, and just meditating on the word “peace” or “I am peace.”
