![]() Now at the breaking of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”Īnd when morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters, who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the destruction of the city!”Īs morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up!

And the world needs out gift.With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”Īt dawn the next morning the angels became insistent. We’re responsible to find our path to healing and without deep healing our gift will be muted. The challenge for me is getting my sticky hands off the wheel and letting it happen. My woo theory and personal experience is that sleep is also a time when the channel to heaven can be opened, and we can get the spiritual downloads we need. The theory is that the fluid literally "rinses" out the toxic chemicals that accumulate during our waking hours. It's like our brains take a wee bath when we sleep. As soon as the oxygen rich blood is gone, it is replaced by something called Cerebrospinal Fluid that pulses through our brains. But during sleep, the brain doesn't need the same level of oxygen, and blood literally vacates our brains, leaving space. A lot of our blood flow is dedicated to our brains with it's oxygen load. Here's the science from a Boston University study in 2019. I want to fight the toxicity with rationality, but it turns out sleep is a better warrior. In rest, the toxic brain chemicals that feel like poison, are neutralized. My natural inclination is to process difficult things through thinking (brooding) incessantly on them, but I’m lately thinking that the process towards healing is more about flow and sleep. If my stress and trauma are represented by wounds on the skin, what I normally try to do is poke at those things, pick off scabs, try to understand why they hurt so much and rationalize the pain away, which really, REALLY doesn’t work. Unprocessed stress and trauma interferes with hope and diminishes optimism about the future. For me, it feels like these unprocessed stress chemicals bring anxiety, compulsive thinking, and irresistible urges for numbing. In daily life, daily stresses, both small things and also big traumas, build up toxic chemicals in our brains. I have this theory about sleep and it turns out some of it is actually supported by science. And, related, I’ve been thinking a lot about the value of sleep, because it seems like a lot of good stuff can come through the channel when I get my rational brain out of the way. ![]() In short, I've become pretty committed to this alignment prayer.
