The Kelee and Sleep

"If you can't sleep at night,
you won't be awake by day."

When you cannot get a good night's sleep, it can be hard to wake up. The brain, like the body, needs to exercise and rest to run properly. The main reason people can't sleep is attachments to things they cannot let go of in their brain. Here is something you can't do anything about and yet you keep thinking about it. How many times has this happened to you when you want to sleep?

These attachments—known as compartments—engage your conscious awareness and won't let you relax and fall asleep. Whenever you think you must control people or things in the world, they have a hold on you, not you on them. Remember, that which you hold onto, you must carry.

Why can't you let go? Your conscious awareness does not know how to detach from brain function and the malfunction of compartments. It's that simple or hard, depending if you can detach or not.

The brain is just an organic computer. If it's running on autopilot who's in control? The Practice is like running a defrag program for your brain. It cleans out compartments weighing on your mind and organizes the brain for efficiency and optimum performance.

Sleep is care for you at night; The Practice is care for you in the daytime.

Remember, it's a peaceful mind that promotes peaceful sleep.
