Sleeping with the Divine

So as I said in my last entry I stayed at the temple for four days during NSP. Obviously in those four days I had to get some sleep. And sleep it was! This blog entry will tell you about those four divine sleeps. OK the first night I felt really weird about sleeping while everyone else was still awake and working even though I was really tired. Mom had brought a mattress but I have never liked those mattresses. Finally after sneaking away from Sindu twice as she tried to make me sleep at 2:00 am I lay down on the carpeted floor in the pantry wrapped in a think wool blanket. I still couldn't get to sleep very well because Amalee and Sindu where cleaning the kitchen, which the pantry opens into, and kept stepping over me (I was kind of laying in the door way) So then I rememberd a tecnique I learned a while back, and used it. I lay there and imagined I was resting my head on the lap of the divine. I immediately feel asleep. Not only was i able to fall asleep it was the most beautiful sleep I have had since I got back from India. I remember waking up sometime in the night and Sindu was laying next to me, she was awake and smiled at me and I remember thinking that I really one of the luckiest people in the world.
Over the next three days my "bed" got a little more elaborate. The second night I took two blankets and one pillow, the third night I had two blankets, a shawl, a pillow, and slept on my very cushy yoga mat. I slept like this the fourth night as well. I still slept on the pantry floor, and I gotta say that is no feather bed. There are two more things that really added to this sleep experiences, well 2 and 1/2 the first is every morning about 7 when I would wake up on the floor from my warm little nest mantras and Nithyananda spiritual songs would be playing, second from my sleep state I would go straight either to the temple or to Swamiji on the screen and having divine energy be the first thing you focus on in the morning is super special. Ok so here I have enclosed some pictures of my "bed" and "bedroom" I just felt this want to write of this experience here. I don't, didn't know how sleep can effect you, I mean at a physical layer obviously, but I mean at a emotional, mental, and spiritual layer how much sleep can effect you. I think if I had been sleeping any other way then I wouldn't have been able to keep going the way I did. So comment!
