Sleeping with Crystals!

Recently a client asked me what crystals she might use

to keep her sleeping place clear after completing a clearing on the space.

I had an immediate thought about what she needed, but told her I would meditate and ask specifically for her. The result was a journey into exploring crystals for sleeping.   I have come up with a basic set of three crystals for use that seem to be bringing about a peaceful, light and full sleep experience (I decided to try them myself with some good results.) Here is my crystal recipe for a peaceful sleep to promote healthy relationships in a clear space: Amethyst, a 7th chakra crystal with protective energies that helps to heal and clear higher connections, opening paths to angelic realms and cleansing the denser energies of the day as you sleep, Rose Quartz – a gentle heart stone (4th chakra) that brings peaceful healing and love to your relationship with yourself and others, especially good for supporting loving relationships; and selenite, an energy moving facilitator that supports positive energy and helps clear spaces and other crystals. Clear your crystals, program them with your intention – put them in a gauze bag or on a natural holder, such as a bamboo coaster or pottery piece, and enjoy your rest!

Read on for a little more information on sleeping and working with crystals.

There are many crystals that are “good for sleeping.” While the recipe above will provide you with peaceful rest, other selections depend on what your needs and intentions are. When I wanted to increase my intuition and vision. I slept with a piece of labradorite – a beautiful third eye stone that opened my inner sensitivity to myself and others. If you are having bad dreams or feeling unsure of yourself, or are facing a difficult or dangerous situation, a combination including black tourmaline may be very good for protection and grounding.

There are also combinations of spiritual energies that you can use with your crystals for sleeping. You can ask the angels to program your crystals with healing for you as you sleep and then wake and use the crystals in meditation. Ask a trusted source or research crystals that are in line with what you are seeking in your life.

Some Important Considerations when using Crystals:

The condition of your crystals counts. Crystals need to be cleansed and programmed for use. Just like that silicon in your computer, they transmit and store energy and information. Be sure your crystals are clear and aligned with your highest good. There are many simple ways of caring for and cleansing your crystals. One very simple one is to make sure you put them on a sunny windowsill or in the earth of your favorite potted plant near a sunny window for 24 hours every month to restore and revitalize them.

Crystals need to be programmed using your intention and work very well on these simple basics – choice, cleansing and intention. Intention should always be for the highest and best healing good – many times we are not aware of exactly what that is, so it is important to direct your crystals for positive healing work with an open mind. You can be very specific about what you would like to achieve – better sleep, intuition, protection, etc., but direct your wishes to be for your highest good with an open mind and heart.

I use Reiki, which imbues the crystals, or any other item, with wonderful higher level vibrational energy that unerringly seeks for our highest and best healing good. All my crystals are cleansed and Reiki imbued, set with the highest intention for their healing purpose.

Final thoughts on Crystals and Sleeping:

Two other very effective means of using crystals for sleeping are to create a Crystal Chakra Wand – which is really a nice long piece of selenite with a choice of seven chakra stones lying atop of it. This can be placed anywhere in the room to promote peacefulness and balance throughout the chakras, or it can be placed under your bed. Clear and cleanse – physically – that dusty, storage-crammed space over which you sleep and replace it with a chakra wand and see what happens!

Or – Crystal Gridding, which is a powerful process that assesses the spiritual energy of a space and creates a room-sized grid to support and heal the flow of energy in that space. Crystal gridding takes some experience and knowledge. I am always happy to be of service in consulting around space and land healing and crystal gridding.

What ever you do, pay attention to your results and sensitivities when using crystals. The goal here is to promote peaceful sleep, not energize the room for intensive work or thought. You are the best judge of what works for you.
