According to a poll from the National Sleep Foundation, only 12% of Americans actually sleep naked every night. Doctors and researchers both recommend it highly as our bodies are designed to decrease in temperature while we sleep which keeps us comfortable throughout the night, this decrease helps our bodies determine when to fall asleep and when to wake up. Warmer skin has been found to disrupt sleep in humans and animals.

Published in the journal Brain: ‘By employing a thermosuit to control skin temperature during nocturnal sleep, we demonstrate that induction of a mere 0.4 degrees C increase in skin temperature, whilst not altering core temperature, suppresses nocturnal wakefulness (P<0.001) and shifts sleep to deeper stages (P<0.001) in young and, especially, in elderly healthy and insomniac participants,’

What Faces Will You See? This 3rd Eye Mirror Meditation Takes You To Another Dimension

Have you ever tried Mirror Meditation?

Mirror meditation can help you see your faces of previous lives, faces of fearies and ET’s, faces of other people from various times. Sometimes you see demonic images, these images can’t hurt you though, so do not be afraid.

As with all meditation, it is a good idea to cleanse and protect yourself and your home before you start.

Once you have done your protection ritual for both yourself and your home, light a candle and switch the lights off. In front of a mirror, focus on and look at your third eye (between your eyes). Your eyes may feel to be going out of focus, this is normal because of the dim candle light. Try not to blink excessively, or you will not be able to see the faces appearance.

As your third eye opens it will reveal the faces you are meant to see. Seeing a demonic face is nothing to be alarmed about, this face cannot harm you and is likely to be a shadow self, it could also be a test of your spirituality. So if you sense any negative energy from these images ask them to leave and/or stop your meditation and repeat your protection cleansing before sitting in front of the mirror again.

Please understand that this meditation is not for someone who scares easily, seeing the many different forms of yourself can be quite overwhelming. That said, it is incredibly humbling as you start to see the real meaning behind being a spiritual being having a human experience! Seeing the various incarnations of yourself, in many different genders, races and times!
