Three Stones to Help Insomnia

There are several stones that can help with insomnia. The three we will be talking about here may help you with minor to moderate cases of insomnia and are all very easy and inexpensive to find. As always, you can wear or carry these stones, or put them by your bedside or under you pillow at night. You might also try them in elixir form.

The first stone is Hematite. It is a black metallic stone that is rather heavy for it's size. There is a great deal of reconstituted hematite on the market, but I recommend the natural variety. It may be a bit more difficult to find, but the effects are well worth the time it takes to find it. Hematite shields you from negative or disruptive influences. It works by shielding you from the chaotic influences that surround you and may make it difficult to get to sleep or to sleep soundly. It shields & grounds you, therefore, letting you fall asleep more easily.

The second stone is Amethyst. This is one of the oldest remedies for insomnia, dating back hundreds of years. It comes in many shades of purple, from very dark to almost pinky purple in color. For insomnia, I recommend one of the darker shades. Amethyst protects & shields you on an intellectual and psychic level. It protects the third eye area also. If you feel that your insomnia is caused by mental or psychic stress, amethyst may balance and calm you & have a mildly tranquilizing effect. It helps clear out any wild, chaotic or disruptive thoughts, thereby helping lull you to sleep. The purple color of the stone is also conducive to calming, restful thoughts.

The third stone is Sodalite. This is a beautiful medium to dark blue stone, often with white veins running though it. Some sodalite is very pale & chalky looking. Try to stay away from these lighter, chalky looking pieces. Sodalite can help bring the mind & body into a more harmonic state. It eliminates confused thoughts. It may also help you with self esteem issues & help you to trust your decisions more. By doing this, it helps you to calm down and be more comfortable with yourself so your thoughts will be restful, thereby helping you to fall asleep & stay asleep. The blue color of sodalite is conducive to peaceful thoughts, serenity & pleasant dreams.

As always, stones are no substitute for qualified medical care. If you are ill, see a doctor.
