What Is Insomnia? Solutions For A Restful Nights Sleep...

People who are not getting the amount of sleep that they require may state that they have insomnia, so lets look at... what is insomnia... as this term is sometimes misinterpreted. 

Lets start with the definition of insomnia:

    habitual sleeplessness 
    inability to sleep 

The word habitual relates to recurrent or frequent, and in many cases those who say they have insomnia may have had problems related to sleep for some time.

For some people its not insomnia, but an inability to get to sleep that happens often enough for it to be frustrating. Those people may also want to work out how to fall asleep more easily.

For others its going to sleep then waking up and being unable to get back to sleep, which is quite disturbing as its usually in the middle of the night.

Some of you may have issues with thoughts going round and round inside your head so your mind cannot settle for sleep. This is the same problem that a number of people find challenging when they sit down to meditate.

Scolecite

Scolecite is at the top of the list as it has such an excellent action to help your sleep. It has a deeply calming and soothing energy that is also very effective to help to relieve stress.

It is also a stone that encourages lucid dreaming, so if you wish to have lucid dreams it may also help you with this.

When I first heard about it I was surprised that it was one of the crystals for sleep, as it is one of the high vibration crystals. It resonates within the crown and third eye chakras.

It is also a great meditation stone, and seems to work well in combination with any of the other crystals, so you may choose to use it with other sleep crystals to create a highly effective result.

My own sleep problem relates to waking up and being unable to get back to sleep so I have a piece of Scolecite within easy reach, so that I can hold it when I need it.

Sleep commonly comes quickly to me when I use this crystal. Remember: if you have a stone either under the pillow or nearby, do make sure you regularly cleanse it.

If you are using it and start to find it is no longer effective, take it out and cleanse it and perhaps give it a break to allow it to re-charge.
Lepidolite

Lepidolite has many powerful attributes that make it a wonderful stone to use, including helping you to sleep better.

If you are anxious, depressed or stressed and need help to feel more calm, this is my top choice of crystals to relieve stress.

This is also one of the crystals for sleep mentioned above that will help you to relax and attain deep meditation, helping you to switch off and get into deep meditation.

It is helpful to use for meditation and also helps you to get to sleep more easily because of its action to help you to easily sink into the alpha state, where your brain waves slow.

Alpha brain waves are the relaxed state that you attain just before you sink into sleep, and are the brain waves associated with the beginning of stage one sleep.

This lovely stone will also assist you to attain the deeper theta brain waves, a highly relaxed state that is normally reached when you are deeply asleep. 

There are now a number of relaxation systems that assist you to reach theta state and it is also associated with a healing method called theta healing.

Doing meditation with crystals that take you to the theta state helps you to more easily reach the higher realms, and is a helpful method to use if you are working on your spiritual growth.

Lepidolite has so many powerful attributes that make it a wonderful stone to use for all sorts of reasons. It comes in a number of colors from deep purple, to lilac through to pink. All colors are very effective calming stones as they contain natural lithium.
Amethyst

Amethyst is one of the most common stones that are recommended to help you to sleep better. Amethyst Crystals are made from quartz, and quartz has strong amplification properties.

Howlite are crystals for sleep that have a calming and quite soothing energy that will assist you to more easily get to sleep.

Stilbite

Stilbite has an energy that is useful for anyone who is having trouble sleeping due to mind chatter that just won't stop long enough for you to get to sleep.

Mind chatter is also one of the most common reasons why many people find it hard to meditate, as they can't stop those pesky thoughts from going round and round in their head.

You can therefore see why they are excellent healing crystals for you to use to assist you to calm your wayward thoughts and more easily get to sleep, and they may help to create clearer thinking.

These crystals not only help to stop the mind chatter but their vibration is also said to balance both hemispheres of the brain which can assist concentration.
