Welcome to The Sleep Ritual Protocol!
A 24-hour experience of sleep that begins and ends with "The Sleep Ritual"
Sleep is not merely a biological necessity but a profound human experience - an opportunity to connect with our most aligned selves. Modern challenges have disrupted circadian rhythms, not only on a physical plane, but on a psychological and emotional plane too, creating resistance to sleep that traditional solutions fail to address.
Hi, my name is Derek Lacey, and I am here to help you facilitate the sleep process. I spent 15 years of my life suffering from insomnia, and the last 9 years working as an insomnia coach. My experience on both sides of sleep has led me to curate a ritual for falling and staying asleep that helps you process and repurpose the resistance at the very core of insomnia.
Being that sleep is the cornerstone of life, this sleep ritual has naturally extended itself as a 24-hour modality for sleeping and living: a framework for being grounded, living in alignment, and spending more of your waking hours from an entirely new dimension. In doing so, you awaken more clearly aligned to your soul’s path by day and fulfill insomnia's intention for you.
It is with much delight that I present to you, The Art of Falling Asleep, a reimagined path to sleeping and living. I'd love for you to stay and learn more about TAoFA, for I believe that deeply contemplating the principles and concepts presented here can initiate your transformative journey into deep and meaningful sleep.
At the foundation of TAoFA’s mission is the pursuit for the most aligned understanding of sleep, from its primary meaning and function, to the unexplored opportunities that sleep is presenting to humanity, so that sleep can be experienced in the most aligned and adaptive way.
TAoFA seeks the most comprehensive understanding of sleep for the purpose of energetic correctness, so that you may dissolve the contradictions between the true purpose & function of sleep and those proposed by the traditional sleep model. When part of the problem is conceptual misalignment, there is only space to address solutions from within the "frequency of the problem."
Establishing energetic correctness with sleep sets a foundation for your sleep ritual to begin from outside the frequency of the problem. A sleep ritual built from energetic correctness holds space for the frequency changes and eventual dimensional change that makes this model and the sleep experienced within it so unique.
The mission of TAoFA is to inspire a movement of sleepers who connect to their true selves as a rite of passage into this uncharted frequency of sleep each night.
What Makes TAOFA Different?
TAoFA views humans as occupying a central position in the universe - a bridge connecting the physical realm of the 3rd dimension with the spiritual realm of the 5th dimension.
Consequently, TAoFA interprets insomnia as an issue rooted in the 4th dimension rather than the 3rd, where the solutions are linear and often center on addressing physical deficiencies and avoiding the pain of not sleeping.
Since most of the scientific explanation for why we sleep is derived from the health issues correlated with not sleeping, traditional sleep models are motivated by avoiding these issues. This creates psychological disharmony.
This is an inevitable result when not addressing sleep as a deeper, multidimensional experience that has a greater "WHY." In our opinion, this is a shortcoming that negatively impacts sleep psychology, leading to conditions like the fear of not sleeping that lead people to seek to restore harmony by looking outside of themselves.
The clients we work with often do more than enough in the 3rd dimension during the day to "earn" their sleep and don't need another way to "cause" sleep. What’s missing is a ritual that grounds their root chakra, guides them into inner alignment and into the frequency of sleep, where their natural intelligence for sleep takes over.
TAOFA is here to help you reach the frequency of sleep by means of processing, releasing and organizing energy, instead of outsourcing in order to overpower the disorganized energy you experience as resistance.
