** CAUTION ** If you believe your body is just a mass of carbon blob floating in a bunch of water, forget reading this. It will be new age baloney and won’t work anyway. This sleep system is not about counting sheep or taking a pill.Still reading? Our bodies are made up of carbon, nitrogen and predominately water(H20), but there is also an electromagnetic field that flows through and around it. This is the same for every living thing including the earth and all the planets and astral bodies. This is unseen to the naked eye but is very real and affects many processes such as consciousness, communication, our memories and is part of what connects all things. It also consists of portals or chakras that allow information or energy to enter our bodies.It also greatly affects our overall health.
About 20 years ago Peggy Dubro originated an energy healing modality called the EMF or electro magnetic field technique not to be confused with EFT. It is based on the knowledge that this field exists and that by using this lattice or web, as she calls it, we can tap into the perfect energy that it consists of. We can achieve balance in the physical and mental areas of our body. Balance and unblocked free flowing energy or chi is the key to perfect health.
I use a small piece of her technique called the Spiral Sweep to put myself to sleep. I do it every night to not only put me to sleep but to keep the chi or life force energy (there are lots of names for it) flowing through me freely. I began doing it for the energy flow but found it that it works great for natural, drug free help for insomnia.
A lot of people have problems sleeping because their minds keep chattering at them. This process uses the mind or consciousness as an ally to work with the body instead of the fight that sometimes goes on when we are trying to get to sleep.
This is my version of it, so it is similar but not the same as Peggy’s Spiral Sweep. The basic idea is to use this universal perfect energy that is circling around and through your body to relax and allow sleep to follow.
The Skeletal Sweep
Start by laying on your back with palms flat. Make sure that your hands aren’t touching your body. Envision this energy swirling in a circle at the bottom of your feet. Use your mind to bring that energy into the soles of your feet. Slowly you will take this energy and go through all the bones in your body, hence the name skeletal. Into your ankles, up your calves, knees, thighs and hips. This can be done as slowly or as quickly as you choose. The main thing is to feel it by focusing on each bone. Bring it up your spine, vertebrae by vertebrae. When you reach the top of the spine let it flow into your shoulders, breastbone down your ribs. Then down your arms letting it flow out your hands. You should be able to feel it flowing strongly out your hands. Flow the energy flow back up your arms into your face and skull with a feeling of it glowing like a crown on top of your head.
Lay with that for however long you want feeling the energy flowing smoothly through your body. I am usually asleep by then but there is more if you are still awake.
The Endocrine System Sweep
Peggy goes into much more detail here but what I do is, as I feel it radiating on top of my head, I will bring it into my cortex (top of the brain) then below it to the white matter. Next to the pituitary glad which is above the eyes in the middle of the forehead. Then I let it flow into the all important pineal gland. Stay with it there for a while. Then bring it down to the pons which is at the base of your skull on the back of the neck. Move the energy into the thyroid gland which is in the front of the neck, down to the thymus. The thymus is also a very important gland in the whole picture as it is called the second heart. It is a distribution point for energy through the body. Next is the pancreas, flowing to the back to the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys. Next I go to the liver and down to the sexual glands, ovaries or testes. Lastly I bring it down the legs to return to the bottom of the feet to ground it.
Chakras Sweep
I never make it this far but if you still are awake you can then take the energy back up through your chakras. For those who aren’t familiar with what chakras are they are portals or openings in the elctromagnetic field that surrounds you. These, if you could see them, are like spinning vortexes like how water looks when it’s draining from a tub. Ancient Egyptians used a 13 chakra system but the most commonly used system is that of 8. These chakras are outside your body and about 6 1/2 inches apart.
The energy that you have brought back down to your feet is then brought into the 1st chakra. Move it up to the 2nd chakra which is about at the top of your legs. The next chakra is your root chakra which corresponds to just above the reproductive parts of your body. Bring the energy up to your stomach or solar plexus. The next chakra is your heart chakra. Let the energy flow through there as it, as a you can imagine, is the center of your being. Throat chakra is next where you speak your truth. The third eye chakra is just above your eyes in the middle of the forehead where the real seeing happens. Last and most vital chakra is the crown chakra. It is just above your head and the receiver of information from above.
La-La Land
Ok so if your not asleep by then you will have at least given your body a much deserved treat. I call it a juicing up. If you are reading this, then you may think I, am in la-la land. I guess I am, but it sure works for me. You can check out Peggy’s site here. She has a complete system that goes much deeper than this with practitioners located all over the globe. It is an alternative healing process that recognizes that there is much more to us than just a blob of biology. My kind of stuff!
Sweet dreams!

A New Healing Modality Part 1
Have you ever wondered why some people who, despite being highly intelligent, keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Have you wondered why it seems when you end a relationship you seem to attract the same type of person to the next relationship resulting in the same negative result.
We learn through repetition so these patterns that repeat themselves in our lives reveal much more information about us than we can imagine. Merely understanding the “why” of things can effect positive changes. The intent of this information is to offer a spiritual perspective to the “whys” of repeated behavioral patterns.
Overlight is a spiritual psychology healing modality that recognizes that we are the creators of our own reality and therefore have the ability to heal ourselves. An Overlight facilitator examines the “whys” of events in your life and creates a space for you to feel comfortable enough to recognize these tendencies and to change your perspective on them from negative to positive. This change is the path to healing of not just your spirit, but your mind and most importantly your body.
Overlight is just one of many new healing modalities. More people are also looking at dis-ease from a different perspective. Healers are looking at things from a holistic overview, not just treating the result of the imbalances but getting to the inner root of the condition. It’s a belief that everything that happens to us is of our creation and is created for a higher purpose than what, on the surface it seems.
How many of us can look back at a time of chaos or dis-ease in our life and see some positive results that occur from them? “Best thing that ever happened to me” is common to hear people say although rare to hear at the time the events were happening. There is a reason for all things that happen and Overlight just recognizes this and shines a light over a the event to help people examine it in a different light.
The Overlight process is designed to look at dis-ease, be it mental or physical, from the knowledge that if one can attain a shift or change in the viewing of the so called negative event than from that new position healing can occur. Which will then ripple down through the whole being of your body, mind and spirit
Spiritual health is a broad term but one that I believe will be examined closer now and in the years to come. Balance of the body, mind and spirit is the key to sustained health. Overlight is a process that addresses the spiritual balance. Going to the source to get the answers to the questions of why it is happening and then changing the view, I believe, will unlock the door to enduring, long-lasting health in your life.
