🌸 Dreamlike Wonder: Sleep, Beauty, and the New Moon Hi Robert, Earlier this week, we wandered through the Cherry Blossom Festival at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, petals drifting like pink and white confetti, soft sunlight brushing our shoulders. I was struck, again, by how easy it is to lose wonder as an adult... and then  how precious it feels when we find it again. This month, we’ve explored the hidden stories behind our sleep. The 3am wakeups. The teenage biology no one warns you about. The bedtime procrastination we beat ourselves up for. Today, as the New Moon in Taurus invites us inward, it feels like the perfect moment to slow down—and to dream a little more deliberately. a few days before the blooms blossomed at BBG Filling Our Own Cup (before Bedtime) After the Monday night debacle over spring break last week, I took my own advice and started chasing whimsy during the day, instead of searching for scraps of it at midnight. – I took more walks, just to look at the flowers. – I laid a tarp down in the bathroom and gave myself a full olive oil rub down sensory experience the first day my kid went back to preschool. (thank you, 2-for-1 olive oil sale). – I even broke into my daughter’s watercolor paints and let myself play. None of these things took more than 15 minutes or had a goal attached but they added up to a wonderful result.  I’ve been sleeping like a champ. No nighttime scrolling or needing to "reclaim" non-productive me time because I already fed that need during the day. The Invitation: Taurus is of the earth and enjoys this material realm of great food, cuddles, pretty things, and SLEEP! Taurus enjoys being in a body.  This Taurus New Moon asks a simple but profound question: What would it mean to trust sleep as a safe place to return to? Not something you have to fight for or earn  .  Just a soft return to BEING yourself. 🌀 Journal Prompt:  What small joys would help you feel safe and soft again? What would happen if you made space for them before bedtime? Earlier today enjoying a New Moon in Taurus kundalini class with my favorite little Taurus queen.  This week, treat sleep like a sacred return—not a shutdown. Do the normal sleep hygiene sure, limit caffeine after noon and dim the lights after sunset. But also let yourself wander without a checklist. Let it be beautiful and enough and and see if you dont just wander into rest as well.  Until next week, Dream softly, Sarah   Sarah Petroski PGDip Sleep Medicine - Oxford '23 Sleep Performance Coach Personal Trainer & Kundalini Yoga  sleepfitsarah@gmail.com    210 5th Avenue 5th Floor New York NY 10010 USA Privacy Policy | Unsubscribe
