Poor dream recall is one of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to using your dreams to heal and empower your life. Immediately on waking, you are in that twilight stage between sleep and wakefulness. Sometimes it can be hard to know the di?erence between your dreams and reality in this stage. The reason for this is that your brainwaves are in theta. Delta is the stage when you are fast asleep. Theta is when you are relaxed just before sleeping or just after waking. (Alpha is when you are calm and awake; beta is when you are fully awake and active, with gamma being a state of intense concentration and alertness.)

Sleep is also a connection with the divine: it's not only a physical event, but a spiritual one. Throughout history, ...
Have you ever felt like there's more to you than just your personality? Like there's a deeper, energetic pattern that shapes how you see the world, how you react, and what drives you? That's your soul-print—a unique energetic blueprint that you've carried with you your whole life. And at the heart of your soul-print are the chakras—seven energy centers that influence different aspects of your personality, values, and actions.

But that's not all. We also have a secondary chakra that ...
