The Joy of Sleeping Alone: 64 Rituals to Become the Sovereign of Your Bed and Your Life

“A self-help guide that blends neuroscience, mysticism, and psychology to argue that sleeping alone is the key to well-being for women.”—Kirkus Reviews

• Explains the energetic, emotional, and physical power of having your own sacred space to sleep

• Offers 64 step-by-step rituals for women to reclaim the power of intuition, renew energy, and connect with the intelligence of their hearts

• Presents the act of sleeping as a spiritual retreat to find answers to your most intimate and complex questions

The demands of daily life drain our energy and ability to set meaningful intentions. The crucial act of sleeping has become an automatic routine: at the end of the day you fall exhausted into bed without giving it any thought. Our cultural programming makes us feel that sharing a bed is not only normal but desirable. It is a sign of love and care for partners, children, and others. But breaking free of this routine and claiming a night for yourself is a sublime opportunity to recover your energy and power, to reconnect with yourself, and to reinhabit your body without the influence of external vibrations.

In this book, Cynthia Zak offers women of all ages and relationship statuses practical and accessible rituals for sleeping alone. Discover the biology of your sleeping body and learn soothing mantras to enhance lucid dreaming and calm your mind. Reclaim the privacy that sleep allows to rediscover your intuition and foster a holistic renewal of the self. This book shows how to take ownership of your nightly rest and transform it into a sacred retreat.
