I Lay Me Down To Sleep

I lay me down to sleep Close my eyes to begin Starting with a prayer For the family the ill and friends Doing this often When this is done Then I continue on To meditate next Clearing all thoughts Of the day that done Relaxed to feel calm Only then I will slumber

What you do sounds great and I think a lot as I lay to sleep, but please help me meditate, my friends, my sons, my yoga teacher have tried but my mind is always too busy. Love and hugs, Jennifer

You have a very good ritual going Darlene, the prayer time sets the mode for relaxation, then the meditation opens the soul to peaceful thoughts. If you have a repeated dream its worth placing close attention to it, it maybe telling you something , thanks for sharing :)

Prayer is a lovely way to end the day, Darlene. I believe that it's best to discard all problems from the mind before going to bed; like that you're assured of a relaxed sleep. ~ Best regards // paul

Good for you, Darlene. I wish I could do that too. Its so hard for me to catch that sleep for my mind travels a hundred miles and hour, no matter how I try to calm it down. When nothing works, time for my serenity oil application. Have a great day.

Hello Marliene, Oh! A serenity application! Does that help you to sleep? Just wondering. Hugs.
