Nighttime Quantum Cocktail*

I awoke in the middle of the night last night,

only to find these unanticipated words being played out in my mind:

How about having a nighttime quantum cocktail!”

I know, this short suggestion seems kinda strange, huh?

Yet, the interpretation that followed struck a chord in my heart. Here’s the meaning.

Our quantum source is inviting us to engage in a brief “quantum ritual”

as we’re going to bed at night.

Just before or as we retire for the day,

we’re being invited to take a moment (or more, if you like)

to connect consciously with your quantum source.

As one option, you could picture yourself melting into your quantum depths.

Or, you might want to invite the quantum source to fill your mind as you are drifting into sleep.

Another approach could be to let yourself consciously experience the quantum emptiness

that usually hangs out unnoticeably in your personal depths.

Or, feel free to use whatever means of uniting with your quantum nature is natural to you.

Then, as a short finale to this quantum ritual, dedicate the hours of sleep that lay ahead

to serve as your “quantum time”—

a space in which everything about you is nesting in the empowering hands

of your quantum source.

Then, relax and fall asleep.

Personally, I love this suggestion. Its ritual seems short, simple and user-friendly.

Nothing complicated.

So, I’m now officially inviting everyone of us to join together at bedtime and do exactly that.

Do we all need to do this at exactly the same time, you might be asking?

Well, what’s wonderful and convenient about the quantum realm is that it’s timeless.

Time serves it rather than it serving time.

That means that each of us can do this exercise at whatever earth time we want,

on our own schedule, and it has the same effect

as if we all were physically gathered together.

I’ll be doing this exercise every evening, picturing myself as our leader and co-participant each time.

If you feel like joining me (and us) in this nightly adventure,

feel free to envision yourself joining all of us as we commit our sleep time

to our quantum renewal, together.

Here’s an interesting little fact.

In reality--from a psychological perspective, at least--whenever we close our eyes to go to sleep,

we are sub-consciously turning out the lights of our conscious mind

and willingly falling into the deeper realms of our consciousness—

including and especially our quantum root system, the quantum void.

So, this endearing and simple “ritual” is simply our conscious celebration

of what we unconsciously do anyway.

I’ll see you tonight!

QUANTUM SOURCE ... QUANTUM WORLD ... QUANTUM VOID ... QUANTUM YOU!
