A few weeks ago, I was led to get my watch back out and start wearing it again. Apparently, it was not just to keep up with the time and my steps, it was also to help me keep better track of my sleep cycle. When I woke up this morning, my phone had this data to share with me. I found it interesting to see what my sleeping looked like on a chart. See that big red block in the waking hours?
For what seems like a long while now, I wake up about every morning between the hours of 2:00 a.m. - 4:00 a.m. I have tried different natural sleep aids to help me sleep all through the night and none of them have been successful. I still wake up during those hours, groggy or not. My Dad always referred to those hours as the witching hours, but I seem to like to call them the waking hours. He said it was the time when most people’s minds were in neutral, making it the most beneficial time to send out messages to people’s subconscious brains. He specifically told me about this when I was having trouble with a coworker. He told me when I woke up during those hours, to send loving thoughts and energy to my coworker. I did do it, and it seemed to diffuse the situation.
So fast forward to now and me still waking up at these hours. Sometimes I am able to just roll over and go back to sleep, but most of the time, I am awake for probably an hour, sometimes longer. What is the purpose of waking up this way? That is the question that I find myself wondered with. I have also found myself on the opposite schedule of feeling incredibly tired around 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., having to fight the strong urge to take a nap.
I also keep finding myself thinking about how my Grandma Dennison prayed for people. Her preacher had asked her how she kept up with all the names of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She told him that she had a list of everyone’s names written down and every day, she would pull that list out, look at each person’s name and say a special prayer for them. I thought that was such a beautiful testament to Grandma’s love for God and her family.
As I sit here typing this, it seems like I am putting together what I need to do during the next waking hours. Every day I send loving energy and prayers out to people, but I am going to take that to the next level. I am going to make a list like my Grandma Dennison did to use during my daily prayers and energy sessions. And during the waking hours when I cannot sleep, I can again send out loving, healing energy. ✨🙏❤️✨ Thank you for the guidance, Spirit 🙏❤️
