Before you start the protocol, create the conditions that tell your nervous system it is safe to rest. Each item below is optional — use what resonates.
- Dim all lights or switch to a warm lamp at least 30 min before sleep
- Set your phone to Do Not Disturb and place it face-down
- Have your journal and a pen within reach
- Use lavender, chamomile, or cedarwood if you have it
- Prepare a small glass of water — nervous system release often feels like warmth or thirst
- Put on comfortable, unrestricted clothing
"He grants sleep to those he loves."
— Psalm 127:2
