Crystals for good sleep

 A good night’s sleep is the most important part of our daily life. It is essential that we sleep well in order to be active, healthy, calm and stress free. A minimum of 7-8 hours of good sleep is recommended by doctors in order to calm our mind and body. Lack of sleep starts up a domino effect that ends up influencing many areas of our lives; concentration, relationships, weight, emotional well-being, decision-making, communications, spiritually. All of this…left untreated…eventually ends up effecting our health.

Drinking coffee/tea or colas, eating just before sleep, eating heavy/oily/high calorie dinners, working on your computer, talking on the phone etc., just make matters worse by releasing hormones that wreak havoc on us physically, emotionally & spiritually.

There are many things we can do before we go to sleep in order to calm our minds and get a restful sleep. Listening to soft music, having a warm water bath, meditation, basic deep breathing exercise etc. help us unwind from the day’s stress and tiredness and sleep peacefully.

We can also use crystals to help us calm down, de-stress and surrender ourselves to a restful sleep. Here are few crystals that I recommend that will help you get your much needed beauty sleep!

1. Rose Quartz – Rose quartz helps in calming your heart. Holding a RQ crystal in your hand for few minutes before sleep and meditating will calm you down. You can also life down and place the crystal on your heart chakra as you slip into slumber.

2. Amethyst – Amethyst will help you sleep peacefully. If you are a person who gets nightmares and bad dreams, Amethyst is the crystal for you. It helps in de-stressing and release all tensions from your mind and body. Amethyst works on your third eye chakra, thereby relieving you from any heachaches or pain. Amethyst is also a lovely dream-time stone.

3. Sodalite – Sodalite is a powerful calming & soothing stone. When combined with Amethyst it relaxes, calms and soothes the nerves and body.

4. Lepidolite - Another crystal you could include is Lepidolite. Partly due to it’s lithium elemental content, it’s very good for calming your mind & encouraging sleep, ushering in good dreams as well. 

5. Clear Quartz – This is great for enhancing energies and clearing all negative energies from your bedroom. It will also help in amplifying the energies of the other crystals in the room.

You can either place tumbles or the above mentioned crystals under your pillow or make mojo bags with some aromatic herbs like lavender, Chamomile, Ashwagandha, Tulsi (holy basil) etc.


I am sure these tips will help you sleep well and face the day with gusto, happiness and energy. So have a good night, sleep tight and don’t let the bugs bite ;)
