Crystals for Sleep
If you struggle to drop off to sleep or you wake in the middle of the night, crystals can become the perfect bed companion to help you sleep soundly. They can also help you to access, remember and work with your dreams.
Probably one of the first crystals that will be recommended for insomnia and sleep troubles, amethyst has serene, calming and soothing vibes that wrap you in a bubble of peace, ready for a good night’s sleep. Keep an amethyst geode on your bedside table or a tumbled piece inside your pillowcase or under your pillow for a great night’s sleep. Amethyst also helps with nightmares, so if you suffer from these, be sure to have a piece nearby, so that it can protect you while you are sleeping.
Speaking of dreams . . . if you want to encourage the more peaceful kind and work with your dreams to understand their messages, sleep with howlite under your pillow. It helps you to access dream wisdom and allows you to remember it upon waking, so be sure to keep a dream diary by the side of your bed! An incredibly calming crystal, howlite is also powerful against insomnia, encouraging your waking mind to switch off, so that you can drift into a deep, dreamy sleep.
Another crystal for dream work – especially for connecting to higher wisdom to gain answers through your dreams – is celestite. It will help your sleep and dreams to be calm and peaceful and is particularly powerful for those who struggle to sleep through the night without waking up. Keep celestite by your bedside to bring tranquillity and peace to your bedroom, so that you sleep soundly through the night.
Other crystals for sleeping soundly: moonstone, lepidolite, rose quartz or chrysoprase.
