Quality sleep is uninterrupted sleep
from which we wake up with a vivid experience of having been in a totally different dimension (usually feels awesome). In Chinese medicine this is important for health as it is here (the otherworldly dimension) that we reboot our bodily systems (organs, substances, tissues). Low quality sleep, on the other hand, doesn’t receive the support from this ‘mystical’ dimension and lacks the crucial reboot of organs, tissues and substances (blood, jing, chi). Instead, we keep waking up, sleep restlessly (tossing and turning) and wake up at 3am on the dot (unable to return to sleep). Low quality sleep feels like we’ve never left the physical dimension, that we didn’t close the previous day and that we won’t be able to start the day on a new or blank slate; we don’t feel refreshed. This ‘new’ slate is the reboot of your
purpose (life’s direction) as organs, substances and tissues carry the imprint of your soul’s ID, but also the data of your mission in the physical (your contract with heaven). Quality sleep is crucial for spiritual success as it ensures you are true to your path and your original nature (cosmic self). This is why low quality sleep is so torturous as you don’t feel real when you manage to get out of bed, struggling to face physical reality. The more yang we generate, the
harder we work, and the more we pursue our dreams, the more we
draw from our organs, tissues and substances. This is why joints and muscles ache from hard physical and mental work: l yang (fire) consumes yin (oil) and this means that l yin is unable to lubricate joints and muscles
with the result that l the body and mind feel stiff and rigid. Quality sleep remedies this and
returns us to balance – we feel refreshed and energised to engage with the physical dimension, to draw in the visions of our soul, to will our ideas into manifestation. However, drawing from our
organs, tissues and substances also undermines the ability for quality sleep. This can initiate a vicious downward spiral; the harder we work, the more we tax the bodily systems (organs, tissues and substances), the more we consume yin, the more we ‘create’ low quality sleep – the worse we feel. We are trapped in a ‘lose-lose’ situation: the harder we work, the more we lose the ability to enjoy our rewards; because of low quality sleep we ‘drift away from ourselves’. Realising our dreams and living for
purpose is crucial for happiness, and quality of sleep is a crucial aspect of this – which takes us back to the question ‘how much sleep do we really need’? The correct answer is not about time but about the effective reboot of our organs, tissues and substance.
AN EFFECTIVE REBOOT Here are six pointers to develop quality sleep and therefore needing less time for sleep: 1 Daily meditation. 2 Transforming toxic yang into healthy yin during lung-colon time (3-5am).
3 Therapeutic supplementation. 4 Therapeutic diet. 5 Yin and yang rhythm, e.g. chi cycle lifestyle.
6 Living for purpose rather than security (yin is affiliated with trust and faith). l
