Sleep revitalizes the energies and allows the body to use all its
powers to optimize physiological functions. In the unconsciousness
of sleep, we again become one with creation. Sleep is a powerful
form of unconscious exploration and of passive meditation. Many
illnesses disappear simply by sleeping soundly. Our mental lucidity,
creativity and imagination also depend on the quantity and quality
of sleep. Don't listen to those doctors who say that after the age
of 40, one can sleep less. One can never sleep less than 9 hours
without undermining one's vital energies and resorting to reserves
that instead should be used for emergencie such as times of crisis,
serious illnesses and dangerous situations.
Sleep
galvanizes the spirit, puts one in a good mood, avoids energy wastes
and impurities, and makes errors, misunderstandings and accidents
less frequent. When we sleep, we are perfect.
Don't give up this elixir of long life and happiness. It isn't true
that "whoever sleeps doesn't catch any fish". The slow
way of living will perhaps make you catch less fish, but you won't
miss the best ones (see also the section on "Insomnia").
