What Happens to our Souls when we Sleep?
In my work I have learned so much about what happens to our energy when we sleep. It is commonly known that our brains consolidate learning during our sleep. Often this will come through our dreams as we may dream about what we learned or experienced during the previous day. But so much more is happening beyond this, and essentially the possibilities are endless.
When we sleep, our souls are free to separate from our human bodies, as our physical form is resting. Our consciousness…our souls, are actually very active during sleep as the emotional guards of the human body are more fluid and uninhibited. Our souls may connect with other dimensions, connect with other souls, support our bodies’ healing, or even simply play.
While Sleeping Our Souls can Travel to Other Dimensions
While sleeping our souls can travel to other places, even other dimensions. Our souls remain connected to our human bodies through an energetic cord so they can still sense the body and return to it in an instant when needed, but there is incredible freedom for a soul when we sleep. Our souls can travel to places for play, to simply enjoy Earth. They can travel to other dimensions beyond what we can even imagine. They can also experience past lives. Sometimes experiencing other lives can be very illuminating and useful, but it can also be difficult. I have had clients uncover information from past lives, during their dreams, that has helped them overcome patterns in this current life. I have also had clients, where visiting past lives in their dreams was difficult. For example, I have worked with some children who struggled with Night Terrors because their souls were traumatized in a past life and had trouble navigating the astral planes during sleep, because of its agitated and traumatized state. Through the Akashic Records, we can identify this, and do a clearing to lighten the energy, alleviating the Night Terrors. This allows the soul to be able to travel more peacefully.
While Sleeping Our Souls can Connect with Others
Our souls are free to roam and connect with guides and other souls while we sleep. They may connect with loved ones who have departed, or other people who are also on this physical plane. This can be very healthy and nourishing, but it can also be a bit dangerous. Since our guards are down when we sleep, it is easier to connect with others, such as spirit guides and loved ones. We can more easily sense the energy of beings on different dimensions when we are in a sleep state. But this sensitivity, can also open us up to being impacted by others while we sleep. For example, I have come across some souls who are very active and powerful on the astral planes and use the sleep state to attempt to manifest their intentions, imposing them on others. It can be a form of manipulation, especially if the other person is a very open person. I have had clients who struggled with sleep because they were being sent energy by another person while in their sleep state. It was disrupting their own energy’s state of peace by causing insomnia or recurrent nightmares. Through work in the Akashic Records we can identify this, clear this, and make steps to avoid it in the future. It is helpful to consciously protect your energy prior to sleeping (see the Soulfully Nourishing Sleep Tip below). While it is possible to use the sleep state as an opportunity to manifest our intentions, those manifestations should never involve another specific person.
Dreams are a Source of Intuitive Information
I find that dreams can be a fantastic source of intuitive information. I have some clients who have very vivid dreams that bring them knowing, because their soul is able to connect with the human brain much easier when the brain is in the sleep state. We spend a lot of time analyzing dreams to look for themes and symbols that relate to the life topics they may be dealing with. In my work as a psychologist, I often found that what we aren’t ready to process during the day will come up in dreams. Our subconscious will do the work even when we are sleeping, and it is beautiful when we can embrace the work of the subconscious, and also the divine knowledge that comes through in support of it.
We can Heal while Sleeping
The sleep state is also a time when we can experience incredible healing. It is common knowledge that when we are sick, rest is best. But what also happens is that by sleeping, we are letting down our egoic guard so that angels, guides, general divine energy can come in and support our healing. This is especially powerful when we invite it in with intention before we go to sleep. We can receive incredible healing, and we can also intend to send healing energy elsewhere while we sleep. With intention, we can ask our soul to do some healing work on a loved one who has asked for it, or even the planet. We can heal past life traumas, current life traumas, balance our chakras, overcome a physical ailments…the healing possibilities are endless. With intention we can invite our soul to engage in the healing work we desire.
Sleep Struggles are Soul Struggles
Sleep is a time where we are truly in our multi-dimensionality. We can use this time for our highest good, by healing and connecting with our intuition. If you are looking for support in helping you to sleep more peacefully, I may be able to help you. Sleep work, is soul work. When someone struggles with sleep, we are talking about a multidimensional struggle so it is helpful to bring in energy healing and support from the Akashic Records.
Soulfully Nourishing Sleep Tip
Here’s a quick tip for a soulfully nourishing sleep:
As you are laying down in bed, set the intention for a soulfully nourishing sleep in your mind, and ask (God, whoever you pray to, the universe, source, or your higher self) for assistance while you are sleeping. Imagine that you are being bubbled or cradled in a nourishing white light. Focus on the feeling of this nourishing white light energy encasing your being in comfort and warmth. Ask that this energy bring in whatever is for your highest good, and protect you from what is not for your highest good. Allow your thoughts to drift into a soulfully nourishing sleep.
