Do You Often Wake Up Between 3 To 5 A.M.? It Could Indicate A Spiritual Awakening

Insomnia or work-related stress may be what you ultimately chalk up your early rising to.  While it’s possible that’s the root of your problems, it's also possible it’s something entirely different-- and of a spiritual nature.  As it turns out, the time you wake up in the middle night might be something you should really pay attention to. 

If you wake up at the same time every night, there may be an inner meaning that can be applied towards your life. It’s possible that you have multiple energies present in your body that you are unaware of, IN5D. Traditional Chinese medicine has used energy meridians as guidelines. ACOS describes these meridians as energy highways within the body. Qi flows through these channels and reaches different points in the body.

​The energy meridians of the body are also connected to a clock system that according to ancient Chinese medicine is energizing different parts of your body at different times of the day. Waking between 3am and 5am every night is a sign that energies in that corresponding part of your body are blocked or weak.

TROUBLE SLEEPING BETWEEN 9:00PM AND 11:00PM
Between 9 and 11pm is typically bedtime for most people. Difficulty falling asleep during this time is a sign of excess stress and worries from the day. Positive mantras, meditation, or successive muscle tension and relaxation exercises are recommended to help you sleep.

WAKING BETWEEN 11:00PM AND 1:00AM
According to ancient Chinese medicine, this time frame is the time that the energy meridian of the gall bladder is active. Waking up at this time frame is associated with emotional disappointment. Practice unconditional self-acceptance and forgiveness of others in order to get back to sleep.

​WAKING BETWEEN 1:00AM AND 3:00AM
This is the energy meridian associated with the Chinese medicine body clock and the liver. Waking up at this time is associated with the emotions of anger and excess yang energy. Try drinking cool water and taking ownership of the situation that caused you to feel angry in order to rest peacefully through the night.

WAKING BETWEEN 3:00AM AND 5:00AM
Waking up between 3am and 5am is associated with the energy meridian that runs through the lungs and the emotion of sadness. To help yourself get back to sleep, try some slow, deep breathing and express faith in your Higher Power to help you.

If the time that you awaken is between 3:00 am and 5:00am, it could also be a sign of your Higher Power alerting you to pay attention to messages that are being sent to align you with your higher purpose. 

WAKING BETWEEN 5:00AM AND 7:00AM

The energy flow is in the large intestines during this time of the morning. Emotional blockages are also associated with this time of the early morning. Try stretching your muscles or using the restroom to help yourself get back to sleep.
