Crystals for Sleep

If you’re like most people you’ve had a few nights where you just can’t seem to fall asleep, or stay asleep, but did you know that some stones are a great natural sleeping aid? By using Crystals for sleep and insomnia issues, you can tap into the energetic properties of each stone's unique vibrational pattern, emitting frequencies that interact with your body's energy system.

Many times, stress may be the culprit keeping you awake, and by allowing the mind to slow down, the body will follow. Using stones that are grounding and align with the root chakra such as those with colors brown, black, and shades of red tend to be helpful. Crystals associated with the third eye and crown chakra may be too much for some and may cause intense dreams or have the opposite effect. Specific shapes that are ideal include rounded forms like spheres, tumbled stones, eggs, and chunks. Stones with sharp points and pyramids can amplify and focus too much energy and should be avoided too closely to your bed.
