Hi Everyone,
Sleep is incredibly important to our physical, mental and emotional well being. We all know it and yet so many of us are sleep deprived. Perhaps you have a bedtime ritual. You may make certain that all the doors and windows are shut and locked, the dogs have gone out for the last time, your children are asleep, your alarm is set for tomorrow, you've brushed your teeth, the temperature is right, and you climb into bed. Routines help us wind down and signal to our minds that it's time for sleep. And yet, an hour later, we're still awake. Our minds are racing with thoughts. What did I forget at the grocery store today? Should I do the laundry tomorrow or can it wait one more day? Did I turn off the laundry room light? Do the dogs have water? What should I wear to work tomorrow? Did I take out the chicken to thaw for tomorrow's dinner?
Ok, enough. By this time you've worked yourself up into an anxiety-ridden state of mind. No wonder sleep won't come easily. But, before you reach for any over-the-counter sleeping aid or toss and turn and never get a restorative sleep, try adding crystals and stones to your bedtime routine. Below are some of the best crystals and stones to aid in having a deep, relaxing sleep.
AMETHYST
Amethyst we know is the perfect stone companion for meditation. It helps us achieve a state of relaxation to connect with the Universal Mind. It's a crystal that reduces our stress and anxiety and enhances our connection with the spiritual realms and can intensify dreams.
Two thoughts on amethyst as a sleeping crystal. For you, amethyst may be a wonderful relaxing stone and ease you into a wonderful night's slumber. Or, like me, amethyst may initiate spiritual downloads that you spend all night processing. Amethyst opens the crown chakra and allows Divine Wisdom to come pouring in. That's fantastic for meditation, perhaps not so much for a recuperative sleep. Try it and see what happens. If, like me, your mind is still racing, that's okay; save amethyst for meditation pursuits.
BLUE CHALCEDONY
Have you ever gone to bed and roll over to keep checking the clock? You realize it's 1am, then it's 2:30, then it's 3am. Pretty frustrating isn't it? Your mind is still racing and just can't stop. Perhaps you realize you're having conversations in your mind with your boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, son/daughter, boss, etc. How in the world is this helping you get a restorative sleep? It's not. Blue chalcedony stops the noise. It brings calmness and peace. The noise in your mind stills when blue chalcedony is around. As a side note, this is my personal go-to stone for sleep.
CELESTITE
Celestite is a very calming stone. It does have high vibrations but it's a relaxing water energy crystal. It's high frequency water energies enhance serenity and is excellent for communication with your angelic friends. Celestite can enhance your dream state and help in remembering them upon waking. Give it a try.
ANGELITE
Blue angelite is a wonderful soothing stone. It helps you stay asleep and encourages lucid dreaming. Like celestite, angelite can connect you to your angelic guides and helps in remembrance of dreams. Angelite is also a wonderful stone for absorbing any anger vibrations you may be holding on to that are a barrier to a calming sleep state.
LEPIDOLITE
We've talked about lepidolite many times before so here our good friend shows up to help us with our sleeping routine. Lepidolite balances our emotions and calms our thoughts, it releases worry and fear and anxiety. This is exactly what we need to slow down and slide into the dreamscape. Lepidolite has an added benefit insofar as it prevents nightmares.
ROSE QUARTZ
Rose quartz is here again to remind us that sleep time is our time to heal and process. Its comforting and compassionate energies protect and heal our heart chakra. Rose quartz guards us when it is time turn our energies inward to take care of ourselves. Try rose quartz first during your bedtime routine and see how it affects you.
SELENTE
And here is our good friend selenite. Attuned to lunar energies, selenite guides us into the perfect mindset for slumber: calm and clear.
When thinking of stones and crystals to use to help us sleep, you can put them on your bedside table or perhaps under your pillow or somewhere that you can hold the stone during the night. With crystal energies and sleep, remember that less is more. You don't want crystal vibrations keeping you amped up at night. Try a few of the above stones and crystals, see which work and then prepare your sleeping space by having as few other crystals in it as possible. Never have a crystal termination pointed at you while you sleep; that would be energy overload.
Give it a go and have sweet dreams
Crystal Blessings,
