We all know that sleep is essential for our physical and emotional well-being. Just as sleep plays a role in our mind-body connection, allowing us to be more emotionally and physically well, sleep and spirituality go hand in hand as well.  Sleep is really a practice of letting go and surrendering to the experience of the soul.
