Podcast Summary: Should You Have an Evening Practice? Minisode

Everything Is Energy with Cathy Heller
Host: Cathy Heller
Date: March 27, 2026

Episode Overview

In this minisode, Cathy Heller explores the concept of an evening spiritual practice, especially through the lens of Kabbalistic and Jewish wisdom. Building on frequent listener questions and her own experiences, Cathy shares practical approaches to preparing the mind and soul before sleep—emphasizing how nighttime can be a powerful window for programming the subconscious, connecting with the Divine, and setting yourself up for breakthroughs. This concise episode highlights the interplay between conscious intention, energetic alignment, and the quantum possibilities available to us with an open vessel.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Nature of Abundance & Receiving (00:00–01:06)

Cathy reframes wealth as an energetic state rather than a result of striving:
- “Money comes into your life instantly when your consciousness expands. Wealth is not something you have to build over time. It's something you become available for now because God is always giving. The supply is always here.” (A, 00:00)
- The main question is not about abundance existing, but about our openness to receive it.
- Letting go of forcing and controlling allows us to perceive support and expansion.

2. The Importance of Monthly Energies & Community Practice (01:06–01:57)

Cathy references her workshops about the spiritual energies of each month (e.g., Aries as a time of breakthroughs and liberation).
Community—her membership group, This Abundant Life—plays a significant role in collective spiritual exploration and support.

3. Why Consider an Evening Practice? (01:57–03:25)

Listener Question: "You talk a lot about the morning practice, but how can I work with it in the evening as well?"
Cathy emphasizes the special openness of the soul during sleep:
- Kabbalah’s Teaching: During sleep, “your soul actually goes into the quantum field… and has conversations with God, like just fully connected to something transcendent.” (B, 01:57)
- Scientifically, sleep (especially in theta brainwave states) allows for unique subconscious programming—“like wet cement.”
- The evening window offers programming potential distinct from (but complementary to) the morning.

4. Cathy’s Personal Evening Practice Explained (03:25–end)

Judaism’s Role: Recounts the Shema prayer, which affirms God’s oneness—recited both morning and night.
- At bedtime, the Shema is expanded: “May everything be for its highest good, in divine order, and may my soul forgive anyone who has sent negative toward me.” (B, 03:25)
High-Vibration States: Forgiveness and wishing well for others clears energy, aligning with “the gates of unearned treasures” (kabbalistic idea that divine abundance is waiting for open, selfless vessels).
- “...when you go to sleep with that, it opens up for you what we call the gates of unearned treasures, that there is so much in escrow...you're clean, right?” (B, 03:25)
Practical Steps for Listeners:
- Before sleep, consciously state that everything is in divine order.
- Send light to anyone with whom there is discord.
- Intentionally ask for a spiritual download: “I basically ask for a download while I'm asleep… to allow me to aim the next day right for exactly the right place in time that I was meant to be.” (B, 03:25)
- Waking up, Cathy often finds herself in a positive mood or with explicit insight—"let's go" energy.
Practice Makes Default:
- Cathy’s mindfulness teacher wisdom: “What you practice, you get better at. People who practice road rage...get better and faster at getting angry in the car. You practice peace, get better at it.” (B, ~04:30)
- Over time, your default state can shift toward well-being and positive energy.
Energy as the Precursor to Reality:
- “Energy creates matter, energy creates what possibilities we extract from the quantum field.”
- Coherent, net-positive energy not only transforms you but invites coherence in those around you. “Everyone wants to move toward coherent net positive energy because it awakens it in them, it reminds them to access it…”
Invitation to Listeners:
- Cathy encourages everyone: “Maybe try that when you go to sleep at night.”

Here's something that people don't fully get about money. Money comes into your life instantly when your consciousness expands. Wealth is not something you have to build over time. It's something you become available for now because God is always giving. The supply is always here. The support is always here. So the question is not whether abundance exists. The question is whether you are open to receiving it. I want to invite you to a special live call I'm doing this coming Tuesday, March 31st, all about wealth consciousness. And I'm going to talk about how you can stop bracing and stop trying to push and force. Because the second you let yourself feel the expansion and perceive how supported you are, that's the second that you just decided there is more for you and things move very quickly. We're going to also do some live coaching on the call. So come with your questions and an open heart. You can join us for free. Make sure that you save your spot@kathy heller.com wealthcall kathyheller.com wealthcall I'll see you there.

So last week's mini episode is a sneak peek into the workshop I just did about the energy of Aries. This month is about breakthroughs. It's about true freedom and liberation if this conversation resonates. Every month I lead a workshop on the energy of the given month and you can check out the full recording@kathyheller.com workshop and you can fully feel the energy of this month coming to life for you. It's a little preview of the powerful discussions that we have inside my community. It's a community called this Abundant Life. It's a membership with over a thousand people in it. It's been such a gift to be a part of this collective and I wanted to share with you some of the conversations that we have in there. If you want to go deeper, you. You can join us in the membership. You can sign up@kathy heller.com Life I would love to see you in there.

Okay, let's get into it just for some context. We had someone in our membership ask this question. You talk a lot about the morning practice, but how can I work with it in the evening as well? First of all, I love that question and I was even thinking about doing this, so maybe we'll play with it because there's a lot I can say about this. But I'll just give you some top line. Okay. Cabala says that when you go to sleep at night, your soul actually goes. Goes into the quantum field. Okay. Your soul actually has conversations with God, like just fully connected to something transcendent. Okay? Now, what we know about the brain on a scientific level is that when you get into certain levels of sleep, there's REM sleep, there's different circadian rhythms. You move into theta waves. What happens is you are actually like wet cement. You are able to program the subconscious mind in a way when you are asleep that you can't even do in the morning, right? Although the morning, you got to have the morning. So let's not forget that. Don't think what I just said is don't do a morning practice. But what I am saying is when you go to sleep at night, okay, I have a practice that I do. And it is so awesome because I basically set myself up to have a download while I'm asleep. And I wake up. Sometimes I have it explicitly. Like, I can remember exactly what I heard. And sometimes it's just a mood. I'm just like, let's go. Like, I just.
[03:25]
A
Right.
[03:26]
B
I just like when I wake up, I wake up like that. Okay? Now, some people listen to stuff while they're sleeping. You know, there's like nine hours of Esther Hicks. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or Wayne Dyer or all these other people have made these YouTube videos. And it actually is a thing. The truth is, scientifically and spiritually, when you are sleeping, you are priming. You are literally able to move the subconscious mind and you are literally able to have a conversation with your soul, because your soul is much more wide awake and open at that time. The gate is open, the portal is open. So I'll give you the abbreviated version of what I do, okay? So in Judaism, we say a prayer that's called the Shema in the morning and in the evening, which is really just saying out loud that God is oneness, which means God is in everything, everywhere, and you're part of that oneness. Okay? But anyway, the bedtime version of that prayer adds, may everything be for its highest good, in divine order, and may my soul forgive anyone who has sent negative toward me. Now, the reason that's so high vibe is because then there's no part of you that is generating anything but net positive. And when you go to sleep with that, it opens up for you what we call the gates of unearned treasures, that there is so much in escrow that when you are that high level, right, you are literally wanting for the highest and best of all concerned, you're clean, right? And you can actually in your merit on some level have an effect on other people's timeline, which is actually huge. So abbreviated version is you could go to sleep with the consciousness that may you go to sleep with the peace of knowing everything is in divine order. And may anything and anywhere that there was any kind of contrast or conflict, may you send toward any one of those people that emanated anything negative, just send them light. Okay? And then what I do is I basically ask for a download while I'm asleep. I asked to be given a download to allow me to aim the next day right for exactly the right place in time that I was meant to be the next day to be on my divine assignment. And it works every time. So it then sets me up to kind of change the consciousness that's kind of percolating as I'm sleeping. And then when I wake up and then go into a morning practice, I'm already net positive. And so I've kind of got myself, you know, to a place where this becomes my default, which is kind of nice. And you look, people practice. My mindfulness teacher used to say, what you practice, you get better at. People who practice road rage, they get better and faster at getting angry in the car. You practice peace, get better at it. You practice equanimity, you get better at it. It's muscle memory, okay? So eventually your default could be being right in that pocket and living from that place of well being. And when you're in that place, it's pretty awesome what you start tapping into and turning on the doors that start opening. Because energy creates matter, energy creates what possibilities we extract from the quantum field. And everyone wants to move toward coherent net positive energy because it awakens it in them, it reminds them to access it, because people can feel that it is there. They just kind of shut off their own radio. So maybe try that when you go to sleep at night.
