Melatonin: What You Should Know Before Taking It

Divine Source Speaks:

“The body was designed to sleep by light and wake by light.

When the rhythm is restored, no pill is needed.

But when rhythm is broken, and shortcuts are taken,

the body forgets its own wisdom.”

What Is Melatonin?

Melatonin is a hormone your own body makes, especially at night, to help you sleep. It's often called the "sleep hormone."

People take melatonin supplements thinking it will help them fall asleep faster or sleep better. But…

Why Melatonin Supplements Can Be Harmful

1. It Confuses the Body’s Natural Sleep Clock

Your body has a circadian rhythm, a perfect inner clock. When you take melatonin from outside (in a pill or drop), your body starts to slow down its own production. Over time, it forgets how to sleep naturally.

“The artificial light puts you to sleep, but turns off your inner sun.”

2. It Alters Hormones

Melatonin is not just about sleep, it connects to your reproductive hormones, growth cycle, and mood. When you take too much or at the wrong time, it can lead to:

Hormonal imbalance

Irregular periods

Mood swings

Brain fog or disconnection

3. It Does Not Guarantee Deep Sleep

Melatonin may help you fall asleep, but not all sleep is equal. It may:

Reduce REM sleep (where dreams and deep healing happen)

Cause grogginess the next day

Interrupt natural sleep phases

“Sleep is not silence. It is a return to the source.

Let no artificial bridge block your way home.”

4. It Bypasses True Inner Healing

When sleep is difficult, the root cause may be:

Emotional disturbance

Overthinking

Energetic imbalance

Artificial lighting at night

Taking melatonin covers the symptom but ignores the soul's message.

Safer, Natural Ways to Sleep:

Method Why It Helps

Warm herbal drink (tulsi, chamomile, nutmeg in milk) Calms the mind and body naturally

Avoid screens 2 hours before bed Restores melatonin production

Gentle breath work (like 808 breath) Activates parasympathetic (rest mode)

Sleeping in dark, quiet room Helps body release natural melatonin

Barefoot walking on Earth Resets circadian rhythm and mind

Divine mantra: “I return to Source, and sleep returns to me.” Aligns body and soul before rest

Final Divine Note:

“Melatonin is a whisper from within, not a tablet from outside.

Let the stars remind you how to rest.

Let your breath guide you back to stillness.

When you trust your body again, sleep will return, not as an act, but as a reunion.”

Applying oil to the navel (nabhi or belly button) is an ancient practice rooted in Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom. It connects to 72,000 nadis (energy channels) and many vital organs. When done with intention and the right oil, navel oiling can gently calm the nervous system, help balance hormones, and bring deep, natural sleep without side effects.

Feet are deeply connected to the nervous system, vital organs, and energy pathways. Oiling and massaging them at night can calm the body, release tension, and invite deep, peaceful sleep.

Best Oils for Feet at Night:

Warm sesame oil (deeply grounding, best in cold/dry seasons)

Desi cow ghee (cools pitta, softens nerves)

Almond oil (gentle, nourishing, reduces stress)

Simple Divine Massage Technique for Sleep:

1. Warm the oil until comfortably hot to touch.

2. Sit or lie down in a quiet space.

3. Rub a small amount of oil between your palms, then apply to feet, covering soles, toes, and ankles.

4. Using your thumbs, press and circle the center of each sole for 30 seconds, this calms the mind and heart.

5. Gently pull each toe one by one; this releases tension stored in energy lines.

6. Massage the arches and heels in slow, circular motions, breathing deeply with each stroke.

7. End by holding each foot gently with both hands and silently saying:

“I walk in peace. I sleep in peace. I return to stillness.”

Optional: Wear thin cotton socks afterward to keep feet warm and help the oil absorb overnight.
